My Milkshake Brings

Spoonflower...ever heard of it?...An amazing site where you design and print your own fabric.

I play on there sometimes...and entered a contest last week. Theme: use spoons and flowers.

My entry...made in my Paint program...very simple and low budget (I wish I had an awesome design program): I named it My Milkshake Brings...because of the funny little song that my brother-in-law likes. So here is my entry design:
My Milkshake Brings

The fabric is a tableclothish picture of a milkshake with a flower on the rim. And of course a long milkshake spoon. They repeat it...you can see the way it would print on fabric by clicking on the contest link. (I'd like for it to be larger...but hey I was just playing around while C was asleep!)

Somehow I landed the #7 spot of 70 in the 1st round of voting!!! So if you are a member...VOTE for me!

Spoon Flower Contest

The winner wins some of the fabric they designed and they sell the fabric on Etsy.

Watermelon Entry

The 3rd and final watermelon wrist pincushion. It will be entered into the contest. Not a perfect round juicy watermelon...just an edgy version...and a cute one at that.

Watermelon Pincushion?

So I am trying to make a Watermelon Wrist Pincushion to enter into a Robert Kaufman Fabric contest (that I heard about on Twitter). The winner receives $250.00 in fabric...and their Etsy store will be published with pictures of the winning fruit...in ads to span the USA/World!?! And well my watermelons so far are UGLY MONKEYS. The first is too tight (even for my little wrist) not to mention wonky and the second...I sewed in the wrong spot...but thought about it and tried it as a ponytail band...and taking pictures of a ponytail behind your head...is quite difficult. So perhaps I have come up with a cute idea for little girls ponytail band in the process...now back to the drawing table.

Want to enter the contest too? Details are here:

If you win...you owe me some fat quarters of your new fabric!
