Happy Twos Day

Happy Tuesday everyone!!  There are two new items up in the Storybook Felts Shop today!!

A cute little Tooth Fairy Pillow for the Girls

Isn't she cute!  She has a pocket for your favorite child's tooth and a pocket to hold treasures or money. She is also great for snuggles when she isn't busy holding teeth and waiting for the Tooth Fairy to come.

The pillow even comes with a ribbon attached to hang her from a door knob or bed post.  That way the Tooth Fairy won't wake up the little one when she comes to get her tooth.

I also have a little something for boys today to.

My design your own felt race car now comes with a set of 4 Pip-Squeaks Skinnies markers. This set comes with 1 white felt card, 1 yellow marker, 1 red marker, 1 blue marker, and 1 green marker. These would be great for birthday parties too.

While you are here don't forget to enter to win a 15% of coupon from the Storybook Felts shop and other great items in the

I hope all of you are having a great week and that it only gets better!!

Make your Mother's Day Extra Special with this Sponsored Giveaway!

Welcome to my wonderful Sponsored Mother's Day Giveaway!

All you moms out there are in for such an amazing goodie bag treat :)

First let me introduce my sponsors and what they are offering you in this Giveaway:

I am Melissa Graham, Owner of Storybook Felts and Mel's Daisy Patch Crochet.  I love to do all kinds of crafts. Crochet has been my passion for years. Then,  I just recently discovered my love for making goodies from felt and am having a blast with it.  I also love to share my love for crafts on my blogs.  My favorite thing about blogging is all of the wonderful people you meet.  My best friend and I met through our love of crochet and our blogs.

Melissa has kindly offered the winner of the Giveaway:

• A Pattern from her Blog Mel's Daisy Patch
• And a Coupon for a Discount of 15% off her Storybook Felts

Hi I am Mary Jo and I love to knit - which is lucky because I live in Wisconsin where you need warm wooly knits 8 months of the year.

Of course after a while you have more hats and mittens than you need so I knit toys too. 

A couple of years ago a charity I knit for asked me to share my toys patterns which has turned into a family project now.

My daughter and SIL help me edit and turn my patterns into pdf files. And my sister test knits my patterns.

During the warmer months of the year you might find me in the garden dyeing yarn with the flowers I grow. 

Mary Jo has kindly offered you a Prize of 5 of her Patterns 

She is at home on her blog Whatzitknitz

Darlene from Let it Shine:

I am Darlene and I live in southern Ontario with my wonderful family. Our home is my sanctuary - my center and I am so very grateful to have it.

I work full-time as a Human Resource Manager. I love my job and look forward to going into work each day.

I am more than just a HR Manager. I am an artist who loves to create and appreciates the skills and efforts of other artists. The need to create is in my blood, passed down from my mother and then to my daughters and granddaughters.

When I am not working or spending time with my hubby and girls, I am creating or hunting for treasures (garage sales and thrift store addict). (Of course house work, laundry, yard work . . . gets squeezed in there somewhere.)

Darlene has been so kind as to offer you a cash prize of $10.00

Shannon from Very Shannon Patterns

I'm Shannon and I'm a blogger, designer, wife and stay-at-home mom to 2 daughters, who is happily living a handmade life near the ocean on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

It brings me so much happiness to see others create something they treasure made from the little ideas that wake me up at night to sketch out.  I adore finding new and different ways to construct garment and accessory patterns for the modern knitter and sewer.

Shannon from Very Shannon has very kindly offered you one of her Patterns

And lastly, I, Natalie,  will be offering the winner 2 of my patterns that I have for sale as well as a $5.00 Cash Prize.

What are you waiting for - hurry grab your chances to win!

One Winner gets all of the above!!

The giveaway will close on the 13th May 2013.

This is an international Giveaway and to qualify for the cash prize you have to have a Paypal account.

All patterns are offered to you as downloadable PDFs and will be sent to you by the sponsors themselves.

Do make sure you include your email addy in the Rafflecopter below so that we have a way of contacting you.

Good Luck one and All!

Race Car Driver Set

Hi everyone I hope you are having a wonderful week.  Wanted to share to newest item up in the Storybook Felts shop. What little boy doesn't like race cars?  Well, now they can have a felt race car set all their own.

Storybook Felts My Little Race Car Driver Set

He comes with his own racing uniform.

He also comes with regular cloths for after the race.

You can also just get the set without the doll if you already have another set and want to add to it.

This set also comes with the option to purchase a red race car that I will design for you or a white race car that your child can design on their own.

Keep an eye out for more fun sets and items coming soon.

Let's Play A Little Basketball!!

Two new sets made their way into the shop today. I am trying to get some more fun boy sets out so this weeks set is Basketball.  Of course there is a set for the girls too!!

Each set comes as shown. Or, you can order just the accessories without a doll. In these sets, you have the option to not only pick the Doll, Hair and eye color, you can also pick the uniform color and number as well.  Everyone has their favorite team and player so I thought it would be fun to let the kids pick the colors they wanted.  If you don't need a specific color or number, they will come as shown. 

I have to say, all of my felt sets have been so much fun to make.  I get to put a little bit of me into each set.  Today it also hit me that there are children out there playing with these sets that I have made.  Then, one day their kids may even get to play with them.  That makes them even more special for me. Have a great week every one! Oh and stay tuned for what is coming next.  I think I hear the sound of tires squealing.
