Another Giveaway (and Thanksgiving fun)

I just entered a giveaway sponsored by Orglamix and I encourage you to enter it too! Click here to enter

It's almost Thanksgiving! I'm so excited! My entire family is coming home and it's gonna be a nuthouse with 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a 2 year old. Woo! My older brother assigned the task of preparing the brine for the turkey and I hope it turns out well. (It's brining as I type this) I altered Alton Brown's Brine Recipe. Also, I'm going to make no bake chocolate pie! My friend told me how to make it but I found a recipe online: No Bake Chocolate Pie.

Yay! It's the season for gaining 20 more pounds! Woooo! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

ALERT! Another giveaway!

Hey fellow followers! I'm here to alert you to another giveaway! This time it's at The Fabric Shopper! They're giving away some really cute Hippie Chicks fabric by Marcus Fabrics. They're so bright and psychedelic! :D

Go enter now! I command you!

*GASP*

Holy crap! I won more giveaways! :O I'm sooo happy! EEEeeeeee!

I got some BISCOTTI (OMG YUM) and knitting patterns from Beth, a beautiful white roses and pearls necklace from Paula, and lace and trims, baby booties, bag, and Japanese fat quarter fabric from Ahfat.

Wow! That's a lot of stuff! I have stuff coming from Utah, Wisconsin, and SINGAPORE! I'm especially excited about a package from Singapore since that's where my family and parents immigrated from. It's my motherland! :) (Sadly, I've never been there.)

****EDIT****

I got another giveaway prize! This time, it's a free re-useable shopping bag from Green Bag Lady! I'm so excited! I've been meaning to go more green by using re-useable shopping bags because I hate hate HATE those plastic bags all over my house! I just need to remember to stuff all my tote bags in my purse before I go anywhere so I can use them at stores.

Hooray!

So May 27th - May 31st was Sew Mama Sew's May Giveaway day! There were over 400 blogs that participated in giving away random crafted goods and/or supplies. I swear I entered over 100 blogs for the giveaway and I actually won something!

I entered Sew Little Fabric's giveaway for an embroidery pattern of this owl wallhanging and got it! Yay! It's my first time ever to win a giveaway! I'm a novice at embroidery, but I really want to put this on a bag or shirt. Maybe I'll try out the embroider on an actual wallhanging first so I can put it up in my dorm room next year. (The room theme is owls and apples :D )

I hope I win more! (Although I highly doubt it.)

I just finished my haori and juban. For those that don't know what those are, a haori is similar to a kimono except it's used as a jacket with slits at the underarms. The juban (usually white) is worn underneath the haori. The juban was originally worn as an undergarmet to keep from dirtying the haori which reduced the need to wash the haori since workers in Japan from the olden times didn't have much clothes to wear from day to day like we do now. I'm too lazy to take a pic of me wearing them right now... but the haori is black and the juban is white.

It's actually a cosplay outfit from the anime Bleach. Yeah. I'm nerdy.
