Updated: Congrats to LSS, the winner of this drawing!
So it’s the week between Christmas and New Year’s – a time when traditionally, not much happens. (Unless you work in retail, of course. And if you do, I am sending you good thoughts.)
Anyway. I thought it might be fun to have a week of giveaways here. I have a lot of cool books stacked up – want one?
Today’s prize up for grabs is Kayte Terry’s Applique Your Way, which I reviewed before the holiday.
To enter the drawing, leave a comment here, answering this question:
What one thing would you like to do more of in 2010?
I’ll draw a winner at random on Sunday, January 3rd. International readers, go right ahead. Good Luck!
I would like to do more smiling at silly things.
I would like to balance reading, crochet and writing poetry so that I don't feel like I'm neglecting these three things that I love.
I would definitely like to sew more in 2010! It's been difficult to find time what with being a graduate student and working, but I'm really hoping it will happen!
More picnics! Going out with my young family for new experiences and making a delicious lunch to enjoy for all of us to make being together a memorable event
All of the crafty ideas I get for myself get pushed to the back burner, so 2010 is the year of making just for me! I have a huge list already- some of the ideas are things I've been thinking about making for years.
I'd like to spend more time sewing and making things
More Uni work! Haha, I've been doing too much crafting. Not that you can really do too much…. which is why I would love to win this book!
Thats an easy question, SEWING of course! I'm an apparel design major and I sew quite a bit, but seriously I can never get enough of it! It is so much fun. I also wish I had more time to read and do other fun crafts. They are on my new year resolutions list. Make more time for reading, sewing, and crafting. Now hopefully it comes true!
I want to make more, but more than anything, I want to break the back of my stash!
I'd like to o more quilting
Stash bust. I have so many different types of stashes, that it would be nice to make a nice dent in them, and save money in the process.
I’d like to do more quilting
More sewing, especially hand sewing!
I would like to expand my sewing skills – that's why the internet is so much fun!
I'd like to do a little more sewing, maybe learn to crochet again. I need to brush up my needle arts!
I like to start sewing again, maybe on our little Featherweight.
i'd like to do more art in 2010. i am going to try to get into the habit of doing at least a sketch every day, hopefully more…
i also want to eat healthier …more fresh fruits and veggies.
thank you for the chance :)
I would like to set up my craft room and practice sewing more in 2010.
I'd like to practice sewing more.
I want to make more quilts and use my machine more, or to be exact, learn how to use it.

Since I have a newborn and a 4 year old, I think I need to relax more. I'm to hard on myself when it comes to creating/crafts. I want to do more more more. But I need to slow down. So slowing down.
Collect many more craft books! And perhaps see if anyone would ever pay money for anything I've made.
Let my creative side become my creative 'whole'! I'm creating a baby (due in July) but want to have lots of other projects completed by then – while I still have time!
I'd like to complete more projects than I start in 2010 and in the process enter more online challenges.
I would like to embrace the 'imperfect effort' in 2010…to put the energy spent fretting about a less-than-stellar effort into 'doing'! When I think of all the projects I haven't started or ideas that were never pursued because they might not 'be perfect', I wonder how many would have brought joy and crafty fulfillment?
I would like to see more of my family and friends, maybe make a start on moving closer to them again.
I would like to blog reliably all year in 2010. In fact if I was (were?) going to have a resolution, that would be it.
I want to start putting some of the crafty ideas that I have discovered from the neat podcasts I've been listening to, into action. I've got the best reason to make some lovely things – my first niece or nephew is due to arrive in May. My first knitting project was finished on Christmas Day (with lots of help from Grandmother-to-be) so things have started moving in the right direction. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm just a beginner, but I would love to do more sewing. I wish there were some classes nearby. I also will be working out more in 2010!
hmm only one thing? ok I would love to do more drawings with backgrounds. Sounds odd but its something I really have to focus on more :)
Learn more sewing. Learn to crotchet hats.
I'd like to get back to knitting. I see so many cute ideas!
I would like to use my sewing machine more!
I'd like to exercise more in 2010. I really slacked off in 2009 and want to get back into fighting shape.
Sewing! I got some new patterns for Christmas and I can't wait to go fabric shopping.
Mistakes. I hope to make more mistakes (well, not only mistakes, hopefully), as it would mean I *make* more things, rather than just planning them or dreaming of them perfect!
I know it is cliche but I would like to do ore exercise in 2010 as a way to be healthier as well as set aside time for myself. I had a baby 15 months ago and would love to designate some time just for me to go swimming or go to yoga classes. Being the nerd I am I have already made a spread sheet of all the classes out there I'm interested in so I can drop in when I have a free afternoon or evening. Wish me luck and best luck to everyone else and they new year's plans.
thanks for sharing!
For some reason 2009 was a stay-at-home-year. Next year I want to travel much more and visit all the friends I neglected in 2009. And of course more crafting would be fine, too, but I doubt that I'll have the time.
I'd like to do more cooking in 2010, proper fun cooking, rather than just-get-ourselves-fed cooking. Also, I really must learn to sew! Great giveaway, thanks!
I want to quilt more in 2010! I moved this year and there was a lot going on, and quilting was put on the back burner, sadly … I miss it!
Thanks for the giveaway!
On a creative level, I'd like to really work on finding my own voice as an artist.
I'd like to do more knitting, possibly try my hand at designing a pattern. I'd also like to get back into garment sewing. I keep buying patterns and fabric, now I just need to set aside time at the sewing machine!
I'd like to use my evenings for crafty projects and creative pursuits. Less TV, more photography/knitting/sewing.
I would like to do more of what I like in 2010- That would be sewing, other crafts, and scrapbooking!
I'd love more time pain-free for sewing
I'd like to design more pop-up and mechanical cards! Totally obsessed! Thanks for the giveaway chance….

I would like to be more consistent with my blog posts. I need to put a schedule together and churn them out! Thanks for entering me in your drawing.
I would like to have the opportunity to sew more often! And I'd also like to be able to help out in my local community more often
I would definitely like to do more quilting in 2010. I have so many projects lined up – at least SOME of them deserve to be finished!
I would like to do more active outdoorsy stuff…
