One World One Heart Giveaway!

Hey Kids! It's here....the One World One Heart Blogging event! My name is Melissa and I'm a speech-language pathologist by day and a mixed media artist by nights and weekends. I've been creating things as long as I can remember. My mom is pretty crafty so I guess that's where I got my need to sew, glue, cut and tear apart things! My husband is great because he understands this need to sew, glue, cut and tear apart stuff! Life is good when I'm sewing, glueing, cutting and tearing apart stuff!

This is my give away for the event. It measures about 7 inches high and is truly a mixed media piece with a little bit of everything incorporated into it.....stamping, Photoshopping, collage, stitching. So to have a chance to win it (the drawing is on Feb 15th). Just leave a comment!

I don't know why but in January and Feb., every year, I like to do some handsewing and stitiching. It seems like I'm forever hunting for a needle. I use to stick them in the hem of my curtains (my mom told me that my gram did the same thing!) but after seeing so many cute needle books on different blogs (here's a stunning one that Shelly O made), I was inspired. Mine are pretty simple compared to others. They are about 5 inches tall and 7 inches wide when opened out with 3 felt pages to keep the needles in.

I really like this dark charcoal grey with the red and aqua.....really pops!
The inside.....
Ok, now this little bugger I'm quite smitten with! It's .......wait for it.......................................

an owlPad!!!! LOL!!!! It's a sleeve I made out of felt for my iPad. If you have one you know how slippery those little devils can be to old. I actually have a hard case for it but I also needed a sleeve for it too.

I put a big pocket on the front to keep the charging cord in. I also lined the top flap. I have to tell you, I love my iPad. If you have one, you know what I'm talking about. I've become one of those Apple converts!
Alrighty then....saved the best for last. Yesterday afternoon I was Skyping with Tracy and her daughter was making eclairs so she gave me the recipe and this was the result. Pure puffy, sweet heaven!
Thanks for stopping by and stay warm!
