Happy Giveaway Day, friends! This is my 2nd time doing the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway and I'm excited that you are stopping by to check it out. I've wanted to participate in others since my first time, and I'm happy that life has finally stopped getting in the way.
I've been knitting up these baby bloomers for the new babies in my life; and now I'd like to offer you a chance to give a pair to a baby in your life. They are sized for babies 0-6 months, and if you don't currently have a tiny baby to put them on, they make a great gift.
You don't have to tell a soul that you got them for free.
For a chance to win, I'd like you to leave a comment telling me what you like to read (or what you wish you had time to read). My rockstar husband gave me a Nook for mother's day and I am always looking for book recommendations.
It's not necessary to win, but I'd like to invite you to take a look at my facebook, pinterest, and twitter pages. When I reach 100 followers on facebook, I'm going to do another giveaway.
The giveaway will be open until May 25 at 5 p.m. Make sure I can easily find your email address or else leave it for me in your comment.
Good luck!
(I will ship internationally, as well.)
I have a list of books on Pinterest that I love - http://pinterest.com/stephaniehanes/books-worth-reading/. We are expecting #3 in October and I would LOVE these cute little bloomers for our little one. :)
ReplyDeleteanything if i had time! i've had a book called "how to grow more vegetables than you ever thought possible" out from the library for much to long.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the Mortal Instruments trilogy right now
ReplyDeleteI would really love to find some time to read Pam Houston's "Contents May Have Shifted." I really enjoyed her previous books and have high hopes for this new one.
ReplyDeleteThese are suck cute little pants! I am due in December so it won't be long before I will have someone to dress in cute little clothes again. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to download classic books of Project Gutenburg- they are free! I also enjoy reading my Bible in my few spare, quiet moments.

Oh gosh. I love to read so much. Just finished Delirium and Pandemonium. ALso Divergent and Insurgent.
ReplyDeleteWish I had more time to read. I have a Kindle that I am filling with the free classic literature that is available through Amazon.com
ReplyDeleteI love C.J.Lyons.but really have so many favorite authors hard to choose just one
ReplyDeleteI read a lot! I keep track of what I've read on shelfari by adding a review and star rating for every book I read. See my shelf at

I love Georgette Heyer's romances. Very much in the style of Jane Austen. witty and not lewd.

I recommend A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. It's a very inspiring book.
ReplyDeletesusan . h . hwang @ gmail
I am currently reading (listening) to Robert Crais
ReplyDeleteI love woolies for babies! My favorite reading right now is Georgette Heyer's romances (witty, romantic, clean ; )) and D E Stevenson's books (set in Britain in the 30s-60s, just really nice, friendly-feeling books).
ReplyDeleteWith a two year old and another on the way, I haven't had much time for reading for awhile. Unless you count "Green Eggs and Ham". If I do get a rare chance to read, it will usually be a classic of some sort.
ReplyDeleteI love stories that combine a little bit of fantasy/magic/weird with more realistic aspects. The best of these, I think, are Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next novels. He has a few other series, as well, which are also a good bet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win such a generous giveaway! I'm just beginning my the 2nd trimester of my first pregnancy, and these bloomers would be a fantastic addition to the baby wardrobe!
I am constantly reading child-development and parenting books. I am a trained Montessori guide for birth-3yrs, and a young mama, so it is so very interesting to me to read everyone's very different opinions ;)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, fabby prize! I'm expecting a new one in July and we've not tried wool, it's mainly been fleece with my son. Saying that I have lanolin and wool wash, just not the wool, not sure how that happened?!
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend a book called Shantaram by Gregory Roberts, it may not be to everyones taste but i loved it. I keep meaning to read it again. It's certainly one of those books that pulls you in.
I have a 7 week old and could totally use these! We cloth diaper and these are so great for covering little cloth bums :)
ReplyDeleteI want to re-read Harry Potter. And hubby wants me to read lonesome dove. Either of those would require me being allowed to sit down for a length of time, though! Thank you for sharing your talent and your time. These are lovely!
Barbara kingsolver's Animal Vegetable Miracle is great and I also liked her newest one... La Lacuna or something like that!
ReplyDeletecute give-a-way! I have a skinny almost 6 month old, so perfect! :)

I like to read anything! Right now I am reading memoirs of Cleopatra :)
ReplyDeleteOh, those would be perfect for our new little girl! For reading...I love everything, but I wish I had more time. My latest downloads have been Let's Pretend This Never Happened, a bunch of super scary/depressing books on epidemiology (yay public health), and Simplicity Parenting.
ReplyDeleteI am kind of a sucker for historical ficton, but I always enjoy a good mystery too. When I recently had a long plane trip I downloaded everything that Oscar Wilde had written for free and enjoyed it all!

My favorite author is Christopher Moore. Cracks me up!
ReplyDeletekirkwood0419(at)hotmail(dot)com
Filling my Kindle up with freebies some but really no favorite. Not as much time with LO and I read too many blogs and DIY, then no time to do them!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Christopher Moore, too. Especially his book, Fool. But I could go for any reading these days. On the other end of the spectrum, I find I really enjoy Haruki Murikami and Vladimir Nabakov's short stories. Thanks for the giveaway; I'd love to put this on my baby due in September. :D sneakfuzz at hotmail
ReplyDeleteI like reading horror books like Stephen King- but I have had no time lately with lots of littlies...I'm sure when they get older I will be able to return to my reading ways :)
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so adorable! We had a very similar pair for my son when he was a tiny little thing and I just loved them so much. No more babies for us, but it would be awesome to share such a lovely gift with a friend's baby!
ReplyDeleteFor the book question... Erm... Hmm. My kids haven't been allowing me much time to read lately. I always tend to fall back on Jane Austin when I have a chance, though my all time favorite book is probably "A Heroine of the World" by Tanith Lee.
I consistently enjoy Francine River's books, especially her Mark of the Lion series. Love finding books I want to read over and over again!
ReplyDeleteI just read th Hunger Games trilogy, definitely worth the read. I'm expecting number 3 in a month, and would love these.
ReplyDeleteThese are SO cute! I would love to knit my incoming daughter a pair but I am not so good with the needles :/
ReplyDeleteI read comics, when I get the chance. I used to read books all the time but it's REALLY difficult to find time to read once you get a kid! At least with comics it takes me a few minutes to pour over one {Also I'm a super nerd}
I wish I had time to read anything adult! I think the favourite book I read a LOT is Room On The Broom. My baby boy would look gorgeous in these longies!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite read is a Sandra Brown novel. She has another one coming out in September. I have a daughter in law who works with new moms, helping them with breastfeeding. I would give this to her to gift to a mom in need.
ReplyDeleteI mostly have been reading waldorf homeschooling books lately. Thank you for the chance to win these! They are awesome! reba22584 at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to read Ann Voskamp's 1000 Wishes but finding time has been tough:) Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI just read Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver and it was super good.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of mysteries. Ann Purser is one of my fave English "cozy" mystery writers. My great niece is being born at this very moment, & would love to be able to share this prize with her!
ReplyDeleteWell these sure would be perfect for the baby boy that we're welcoming this Sept. I haven't started to knit a thing yet!
ReplyDeleteAnd now, about that book... some favorite reads over the last few years have been: the Mistress of Spices and Sister of my Heart both by Chita Banerjee Divakaruni. A Trip to the Stars by Nicholas Christopher. And one of my all time favorites Ahab's Wife by Sena Jester Naslund.
Enjoy! And thanks for the opportunity to win. Now, heading to your Twitter, etc.
I picked up a hardcover of Last child in the Woods by Richard Louvy at a thrift store a few months ago. Its a book that I've been wanting to read for ages, but haven't had time. We're expecting our third baby, though, in a few weeks, so I expect that I will have lots of nursing/ reading time soon!! Those pants would make a great addition to the baby's wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for being part of the “Sew, Mama, Sew” give-away week! I hope that you will have a chance to stop by my blog at http://kjvjames117agg.blogspot.com/2012/05/hip-hip-hooray-its-giveaway-day.html and enter my give-away for a homemade teddy bear!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I am addicted to any Amish fiction...Beverly Lewis, Shelley Shepard Gray...you name it!
Sweet blessings,
Laura

ReplyDeleteI don't have anything specific I tend to read. I'll read pretty much anything and everything :-)
ReplyDeleteThe last thing I read was The Hunger Games Trilogy, before that I can't remember... I tend to craft in the evening and my toddler doesn't allow reading during the day. Well, he does, but I'm not going to recommend you read all the Mr Men books or Hairy Maclary ;)
ReplyDeleteI mostly read nonfiction, but recently read The Night Circus, and I really liked it! Right now I'm reading Girl Reading. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
