Merry Christmas to my bloggers!
Post a comment for your chance to receive this little "merry".
It's a BIG {21" x 34"} kitchen towel.
Made with soft & absorbent birdseye cotton.
You have to promise to use it... it's meant to be used.
I had a very successful "sweatshop" weekend.
I'll show you more later!
I'll draw a name Tuesday at 11:30 am CST.
Merry, Merry!

ReplyDeleteDarby,
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute! It so matches the ribbon that I got for the ribbon wreath--which I promise I'll get to soon! In the mean time I made a tutu for one of my nieces--so fun!
Ruth
Do you take bribes?
ReplyDeleteDo I get the sympathy vote for trying to win something to put under the tree for my wife? Did I mention she is 9 months pregnant?
Love it!
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me! I love the fabric and I am wondering why I never thought to do such a crafty thing!
ReplyDeleteOh my, it is adorable. I am so jealous of your sewing skills. Can I come live with you for a few weeks to learn how you do it, ha ha? I would love that little goodie in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteSounds just the right size for my oversized life...cleaning counters, wiping four kids messy faces and baby food off the woodfloor under the highchair, squeezing everytime I wash my hands while baking in the kitchen, playing peek-a-boo, lining a breadbasket, prompting my two-year old to say the words "polkey dots" the way I love to hear them, thinking of Darby everytime i see it...love ya---L p.s. and no worries, it WOULD get dirty as you intend, and rarely washed. ;)
ReplyDeletei love it...and how thoughtful of you to be giving stuff away at this time of the year, when we know you are so busy working on your gifts for others!!
ReplyDeletecarrie
ok, this is getting ridiculous! how in the world do you find the time, patience and inspiration for doing all you do??!! your latest creation is adorable, like all the other things you post that you make, from pies, to bows, to clothes to kitchen renovations... happiest holidays darby, you are a supernatural!
ReplyDeleteI want that dish towel! Pick me! It is so precious. You were made for this sewing thing, D! All the work you do is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest ever! Love the retro look to it! Keep sewing~
ReplyDeletehey girl. thanks for the opportunity. ashley.nuzzo@yahoo.com

I would love a Darby creation - beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteMaura Gomez (mkolarcik@yahoo.com)
Just precious, Darby! We find out what we're having in January. Your "hair-cutting" chair idea has me thinking of giving AP a bob. I'll let you know if I'm brave enough to do it!
ReplyDeleteWow....people come out of the woodwork when there's a giveaway! haha! What a cute dishtowel...seeing as I have no Christmas dishtowels and that one I am loving (and could be used year-round), it would be used often. I'm loving the chocolate pretzel rods - can't believe how cheap they were too! I might have to try it for some last minute gifts :)
ReplyDeletenote to self: if i want all of my stalkers to come out...do a give away!!
ReplyDeletethis is so funny, D!! i love it. of course, i think i'd still only have about 15 because i'm not near as crafty as you.
did flattery work?? :-)
I'm a stalker, but I love these dishtowels! (and Raiger) Fingers crossed...AMY:)
ReplyDeleteSOOOO Cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing!!! Love your blog, love the towel! I'm planning to make a star garland like yours, maybe by next Christmas though!

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI found you from Jennie Marie and Tara McClendon. I love your blog! - it's one of my favs to blogstalk : )
Out of most people you shouldn't have any time to do all these creative projects and yet you do. You walk away with a smile and enjoy the whole process. That is amazing to me. Makes me think that no matter what I can always make time.
ReplyDeleteYay! Pick me!
ReplyDeleteI got in in just enough time...I think! Thank you for the giveaway...I love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi:
ReplyDeleteI'm de-lurking! Your blog is such a great lift-me-up during the day. How you get so much done and make it look so effortless while tending to three little ones is amazing. You sure are a model mommy to women like me who don't yet have children.
Merry Christmas,
Allison from NJ
Darby, I think you sleep with one foot on the sewing pedal(i'm sure that is not the correct terminology)! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSoo cute! This is my first time to leave a comment, but it's not the first time I've checked in on you guys. :) I'm a friend of The Fenwicks & have just LOVED reading your blog & seeing all the cute pictures. What a beautiful family you have & how blessed you guys have been! Have I scored enough points yet for the cute towel? :) I spent last Saturday with my three girls baking sugar cookies & decorating them---I need that towel to help me clean up the big mess we made! Plus--I love polka dots! :) I hope you have a very Merry Christmas & the most blessed New Year! Love, The Henages Karen,Jason, Hannah, Ella, Kate & Baby Girl #4 (3/09)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I found your blog a few months ago and love to ready it. You are so inspiring. Please add my name to the hat. I sure hope I win.
