Look! Look! Look! My prize for the Softie Awards arrived! It's Therese Laskey's neat-o "Softies Kit: Instructions and Tools for Creating 15 Plush Pals".So very awesome and I'm so very thrilled to have won it. The only thing is, this isn't my first Softies Kit, so the only thing to do is to pass it on to one of my lucky readers! So in honour of my 104th post and because you're all so great, I'm announcing the first ever Little Acorn Giveaway! Just leave any comment on this post and I'll pick a random winner the evening of Thursday June 26th (that's 2 whole weeks - tell all your friends!). I'm happy to ship internationally, so whether you're a fellow Canadian or from anywhere else on the globe, you can enter!

Congratulations on your wee mice! I'd love to try my hand at making softies, and this kit would be a great way to start!

Oh My Gosh...I'd love to win this book. I don't have one Softie Book...I just sort of make up mine as I go. It would be nice to see what other people have designed! Wish me Luck! :)

congrats on your creation of mice winning the softie awards. i have been reading your blog for a short while and find it very fun to see what you do next.

Congratulations!
It does seem sort of funny that the prize for having made amazing softies is a beginner's kit.

your softies kit looks cute, but that's too bad that you already have one!

Great work, loved your little mousies! Maybe if I won the kit I could crank out some cuties of my own!
Posted by: Jesselyn | June 13, 2008 at 01:29 PM
I love the little mice! And it's really wonderful they've found a nice home. I'm sure they'll be appreciated! :)

your mice were so cute! they totally deserved to win!!!
Posted by: Amanda | June 15, 2008 at 12:04 AM
My kids would love anything I made out of that book! I'm sad the mice don't get to live with you, but happy they're going to a good home. They were incredible!
Posted by: Wendy | June 15, 2008 at 08:16 PM
Yay you won!!! I hoped that you would :o)
I have never made a softie before but I think I could if I had some time. I'm sure my kids would love one :o)
Posted by: Stacey | June 16, 2008 at 05:57 AM
That's so generous of you! But I'm sad that you didn't get a prize you could keep. Of course, winning is probably prize enough.

Lisa, I found your site while looking for a "long ago Bassett Hound panel" - you wrote "He was a sorrowful basset hound (one of those pre-printed panels that you sewed together and stuffed like a pillow) that my aunt had made for a school ... and that's why I just couldn't pass up this little stack of vintage seventies ..."
Do you still have any left and if so would you be willing to sell one ? My 46 year old daughter had one and lost it and has never stopped talking about it. Thanks, Leetta
Posted by: Leetta | May 20, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Sorry Leetta, I don't or I'd be happy to share.
