I see from my previous give-away post that there are a lot of lovers of Vera out there—and that’s just the way it ought to be! There’s still time for you to sign up to be in that random drawing for a signed copy of the book and two Vera scarves; the deadline isn’t ’til next Friday, April 22, 2011.

So I bought oodles and oodles of scarves to grace the pages of Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose Scarves, and that’s to your benefit. You get a second chance to win other vintage scarves! (And if you didn’t know, Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose Scarves is a new little book that shows you how to unleash the full potential of a scarf or two and transform it/them into some other amazing thing.)

Today’s give-away is for a signed copy of the book and two dotted scarves in red, white and blue. One of the scarves is a diaphanous Vera measuring 44 x 15 inches, and the other is a no-name 30 x 30-inch polyester square. They look great together.

These are the give-away scarves. Very Boden, dontcha think?

It’s totally easy to enter for a chance to win: just leave a comment on this post by 9 a.m. E.S.T. on Friday, April 29, 2011. One winner will be selected at random and announced a week later. Click here for the official rules.

The winner of this giveaway was Ellen Hunt of Lacey, Washington.

Well, so far we have two winners in the Leather Jewelry giveaway: Magi Calhoun from Texas, and Teri Packel, who lives in Alaska. So far, I haven’t heard from the third person selected at random—so one of the people who signed up for the giveaway may yet hear from me.

It seems like everyone’s selling leather bracelets this season.

Now, you could just plunk down your credit card for one of these fashion must-haves…or you can make your own, and then you get to customize it. “Oh, I don’t know how to work with leather,” you might be thinking. That’s no problem. Here’s a giveaway of three signed copies of Leather Jewelry, written by yours truly. (Yes, yes, it’s shameless self-promotion time.) The book gives instructions for choosing leather, cutting it, punching it, setting eyelets and grommets and such–everything you need to know to fashion it into jewelry. And it contains step-by-step instructions for 30 projects. Take a gander at just a few of them:

“Oh, those look hard to make.” No, no, no, nothing could be further from the facts. Really. Truly. I taught myself on the fly to work with leather, and it’s one of the easiest, most forgiving materials I’ve ever crafted with.

So, how do you enter for a chance to win this groovy book? Simply leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, October 28, 2010. Any comment is fine. Three winners will be selected at random and notified on Friday, October 29. Click here for the official rules. Good luck!
