Winner Of Giveaway And A Couple Of Favorite Photos

I used a Random Number Generator to select the winner and the winner is Stephanie of Rodrigvitz Style.
It is so exciting to me that perhaps these little pieces will be used in one Stephanie's wonderful art.
Stephanie please send me your address and I will send you your gift.

 
These lovely roses were a gift for my Mother on her Birthday on March 6th.

Brie asked me to share a favorite photos of her, that my Husband took a while ago, she is very happy with this photo as it shows her obvious beauty and serious side.

 

A Gift and A Giveaway

On Saturday I had a lovely gift arrive from France, for me, from Marie-Neige who has a wonderful blog  Ici... la-bas...ailleurs that you really must go and see. She is a photographer and a true artist. I adore her banner.
She sent me three large photos of her series:

maison papillon / butterfly house

They are gorgeous......I will frame them and display them proudly in my home. Thank you Marie-Neige

One thing I love about living on the East Coast of the US is the change of seasons. 

Where I live we don't have many extremes in weather...except for the hot and humid summers.
My Mother says of our weather, "that we live in God's pocket"...nice and safe with only occasional heavy weather conditions.
The weather reporters on our local stations predicted 12" for us...we got 6" of beautiful photogenic snow.

I don't want to bore you with a lot of photos of snow...but I did check on the girls Paloma and Aurora.  They seemed very cozy in their blankets of snow.

Our little sculpture snuggled up to the Zebra Rock in the Japanese Style Garden had on a lovely robe and hat .

I could not resit showing you this one also.

I mentioned in a previous post that I will have a giveaway each month.
Sometimes it will be a small gift of something from my studio.
Other times something I think you would like to have to use in your own art. 
Sometimes it might be something bigger and perhaps more valuable...monetary value that is :)

A friend of mine gave me a box of fabric recently and in this box were three embroidered pieces. Two of them are corner pieces with  a circular crocheted insert , the cross stitched part is 9x9 inches. A  smaller  piece has a  3x4 inches cross stitched  rose.  It looks like it was originally a tablecloth that has been cut up.

There are rules...there are always rules :)
I will draw a name from the comments on this post on Friday the 13th of March.  I know :) I like to tempt fate now and then. Who knows Friday the 13th may just be your lucky day.
Tell your friends about this giveaway...that way I will meet them, I am sure they are as lovely and artistic as you are.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my last two posts. I have not had the energy to write to each of you to say thank you.  I appreciate your concern and your valuable input on the colors of my blog.  There will be some changes made soon.
I am feeling better and I promise that I will be over to visit you and that I will leave comments.

The Winner of Jolasveina Giveaway

We are back in our home in the US again.  Our travel back from Denmark was a long and grueling,  26 hours to be exact.  Several events contributed to this long travel.  We were flying on our Frequent Flyer Awards and on three airlines.  Aalborg to Copenhagen, SAS,  Copenhagen to London, BOAC, and London to New York, American Airlines.  The good part of all this airline changing was the exercise we got walking though airports ;} Airports are interesting places for good shopping, art installations  and  people  watching.

These paper lanterns were in the London Heathrow airport.

It is good to be back home...it always is for everyone I think.  However, we are already missing our lovely family back in Denmark.
 As I said in a recent comment, that while we were in Denmark we were gathering Roses for Winter"  I have always loved the saying  "Gathering Roses for Winter" 
When I have been deliriously happy, I have reminded myself that this time will always be with me in my heart, were all precious moments of my life live.
Do you "Gather Roses for Winter"?

Now to the Jolasveinar Giveaway.

I started by checking out which one of the Jolasveinar was the most written about and found that number one Stekkjastaur...Stiff-leggs is the winner with 21 comments.  Kertasnikir.....Candle-beggar
got 20 comments...It does say 22 but two of them were were from a commenter that had already made previous comments on the post.

I copied all the names and cut them up.

Then I folded them and put them in a big bowl.

Then I found a handsome man to draw a name.

 

And the winner is.....

Marilee Pittman...congratulations Marilee...please e-mail me and send me your address, so that I can send this little fellow to you.

He will be on his way as soon as he knows where he is going to live :)
