I got the idea to do an apple themed giveaway after the lovely feedback from my apple cosy and my crochet apple. Also, one of the first purses I made was using some apples fabric. I mentioned my apple themed idea to Kirsty at Sew Pretty the other day when she shared my apple cosy post on SewPretty's facebook page and she very kindly offered to donate a fat quarter of two of her apple fabrics to each of the giveaways thank you Kirsty!
So Prize one is....
- a mousehouse 'Red Apples' waterproof zip purse
- a crochet apple
- 6 apple buttons
- a set of 10 apple, button and yarn stamped mousehouse gift tags
- a bow brooch
- a fat quarter of Sew Pretty's 'apples in red' fabric
And Prize two is....
- a mousehouse 'Orchard Apples' waterproof zip purse
- a crochet apple cosy
- handmade peppermint lip balm
- a set of 10 apple, button and yarn stamped mousehouse gift tags
- two sheets of cute stickers
- a fat quarter of Sew Pretty's 'apples in green' fabric
To enter all you have to do is leave a comment telling me whether you would like to win Prize one or Prize two. You could tell me where you're from too as I love seeing where everyone is from!

Ooh! I love the 2nd prize! I come to your blog regularly for loads of inspiration! I've also just had a baby (nearly 7 week old boy!) and so have started crafting and (trying) to organise my home! But I end up spending so much time watching him sleeping! Oh yea, I'm from Hamilton!

I absolutely love the fabric the pouch in the first prize is made of- where is it from?
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica, the apples fabric in the first prize is a fabric I bought for some cushions from a store here "Levene's" which was part of a Freedom Furniture store here in Tauranga. It's closed now unfortunately. I don't know the name of the fabric (so should have written it down!) but I wish I did as it is such a cool print and is a a nice heavy fabric too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I'd like to win prize #2. Love that apple cozy. :) I'm from Seattle, where it's raining! Oh wait, no, finally it isn't, it's actually sunny and warm! :)

Great giveaway, tough choice, but I think I'm going to have to choose prize #1, because I love the cute bow brooch. Oh yeah, I live in Pyes Pa :) and I love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteCadi from Chocolate Fishies in Richmond, VA, USA. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love both (of course), but I'd go for #2 cause I really like the apple cozy. :-)
ohhhh 2 great giveaways - and I love them BOTH - but if I HAVE to choose then #2 because I LOVE the crochet apple cover - it's cute quirky and I can't crochet (yet).
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm from Auckland .. .. ..
Have recently discovered your blog, you have inspired me to try and find time to be more crafty :) I would love to win prize 2 and I'm from an overcast Upper Hutt.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have serious doll house envy!

What a sweet giveaway i like prize 2. I am from the uk near London. By the way i loved your dolls house post, amazing.
ReplyDeleteHey Megan, I have just got internet back on my computer after a few weeks so I haven't yet checked out your dolls house but I will after this, I promise.
ReplyDeleteI love prize one.
And I am writting this from a caravan park in a place called Mataranka in the North of Australia.
Have a wonderful day. x
Hey Megan - loving the giveaway - you are super generous! No.1 is my fav too.
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI - the fabric that your reader Jessicah Win asked about... It's a James Dunlop fabric that was available back on 2007. They also did pears and they were very cool. Unfortunately they no longer produce and supply the fabric so it's now a collectors item!
Alex Fulton from Alex Fulton Design, Christchurch.
OOOOHHHHHhhhhhhh! Prize 2 prize 2!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I'd like to enter for prize number 2 please. BTW - saw your beautiful house in Homestyle today. Please tell me how you manage to have such a tidy home with 2 kids and a newborn?
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous giveaway! I'd LOVE to win prize one. Those buttons are just too cut!
ReplyDeleteI'm from West Sussex in the UK.

How lovely! I really like prize two!
ReplyDeleteYou do the best giveaways! I like both, but have to go with prize 2 - just so I can use the apple cosy for my daughters lunchbox.
ReplyDeleteAnd from Papamoa, NZ.
Very cool reading where everyone else is from!
Hi, I came across your blog like the 14000 other people who saw the dollhouse post on ohdeedoh...was stoked to see you were from NZ. (I'm from Christchurch) Love the crocheted (sp?) apple - have tried crochet multiple times and keep failing :( So prize 1 would be awesome...also any hints for good books for learning to crochet? Thanks - Hannah
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog from Belle and Boo, who provided a link to your amazing doll house. I'm so inspired! Thank you for the fun giveaway - I have to say the #2 is my favorite! I'm in Utah, USA.
ReplyDeletewhoops...forgot to leave e mail - hethorne@gmail.com. Hannah :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I so need an apple cozy, so no.2 please! It's too cute. Apples are brilliant aren't they? Thanks for the chance to win your wonderful giveaways. I'm from Auckland.
ReplyDeleteSo, generous! I love prize #1- probably the red in the fabric is what swayed me, but I would probably be just as delighted with prize #2. Something about apples just makes me smile. I'm an Australian (from Sydney once upon a time), now living in Hamilton, New Zealand. Cx
ReplyDeleteawww cute giveaway - would love to win prize one
ReplyDeleteOooh - too hard. I think I would go for prize 2. I'm in Hamilton. abaucke at yahoo dot co dot nz
ReplyDeleteHi from Hamilton! They are both really cute, but I think I would have to choose #2! :) Thanks for a great giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a hard choice, they are both so lovely, but #1 for me. I'm from Sydney Australia.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving prize pack 2, so cute! Just returned to (just outside) the shaky city after visiting your neck of the woods! So nice to go back to Tga and catch up with my old friends... If I'd been there for longer I would've looked you up :-) Maybe next time...
ReplyDeleteIt's a hard choice, my favourite colour is red so I should say #1 but instead I'm going to say #2! I'm from Auckland and I still can't believe how stunning that doll's house is.
ReplyDeletePrize 2! Love the fabric and the homemade lip balm sounds divine!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a generous soul, just such beautiful goodies...I'm drawn to prize two if I was the lucky one! Hope you are having a good day.xo
ReplyDeleteo goodness -- I've only been following your blog since the amazing house (i.e. new new new!), but o my goodness, the apples are fabulous. #1 is my slight fave, but they are both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteEmily
oops! I'm in Boston, and I'm at emilyj67@aol.com :)
ReplyDeleteAww so generous of you! I lurve red so I would love to be in the draw to win Prize 1. (I'm from Wellington, the cafe capital!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the gorgeous give away Megan and Kirsty! My daughter would love prize two, it would match her apple wheelie bag from Cherish Child gorgeously and she is really into lip balms so it would be super. I might even be inspired to create the next apple wheelie bag accessory from the FQ! Perhaps a baby wrap/sling for her to where when her mummy has her brother/sister in their wrap? We are from picturesque Papamoa, I love your blog and am inspired by your vision and passion for what you do. From very slack blogger Rochelle, who cant seem to reach her blog over her big belly xx
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, it's just so pretty! I would love to win prize too, it's the ziplock back, so cute!!
ReplyDeleteoooh, prize one! I'm writing from the coast of Maine in the US! Love your blog--a recent discovery!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a delicious giveaway! Both are so cute, but I think I'd lean toward #2. Thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway :-) Tough choice but I think I'd choose prize pack 2!
ReplyDeleteKatie in Palmerston North (where the weather can't make its mind up today!)
Just discovered your blog. Love your stuff:)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the giveaway. Both prizes look amazing, but I think my first choice would be prize one.
-Hannah (Originally from Denmark, but now I live in MA)
I've been a follower/admirer of yours for a little time now :) you are so talented! I love the way you put colors together! Gorgeous! I would love either prize but the second one really really caught my eye. I think it's because I'm a fan of green apples. they remind me of my dad (now passed). He'd always sprinkle a little salt on them :) and i'm in Panama City Beach, FL :) thank you so much for offering these!
ReplyDeleteEither prize would be sweet to win but the red apple in number one would look adorable on my desk in my new classroom! I'm from Waterloo, Ontario which is about an hour from Toronto.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Thanks for the chance. :)
Wow Megan,what a lovely giveaway to brighten a winters day in Palmerston North.I like the look of the 2nd collection, with the gorgeous green fabric.
ReplyDeleteMegan both prizes are gorgeous but I love, love, love prize two :)
ReplyDeleteI am from Wellington but currently living in Perth.

Both of your prizes look awesome, but green is one of my favorite colors so number two it is. :) I'm from Finland.
ReplyDeleteOoooo Prize pack two would be my pick - I love the green! Love your blog :) I'm in Whangarei.

Hi Megan; I love the apple theme and the colours in no 2!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan,
ReplyDeleteI love the red pack #1 especially for the crochet apple, as my girls have knitted fruit and felt fruit, but no crochet fruit yet. And I would make a picnic wrap out of the matching red fabric! So great that your doll house post got you so many new fans. Love, Aimee. PS as you know, I'm North Shore Auckland!
Wow, lovely giveaway : ) I'd love the second set I think. Lesley (way out west of AKL).
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled to win prize 2. I'm visiting from New Plymouth.

I discovered your blog only last night (via Belle & Boo) and am hooked! I stayed up way too late going through some of your wonderful projects. What a wonderful creative talent you are - thank you for sharing all these brilliant ideas with us. The dolls house is so wonderful beyond words! I also loved your colour book and the personalised print - I'm going to attempt both projects for my daughter (also called Amelie)...oh and the giveaway..I am just happy to have found your blog but if I were so lucky to win, I would be grateful for the second package - The apple theme is perfect for some gift ideas I have for Amelie's teacher. p.s I'm from Australia - so a friendly neighbour.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the apple prints! Reminds me of my grandma's house and making pies . . .

I'm an Italian-Serbian living in Brussels, who's just discovering the pleasures of crafting. I'd like to be counted in for prize 2 please, who wouldn't want something as whimsical and cute as your adorable apple cosy?
