{I Sew Lucky ~ a giveaway}

November 17, 2010 · 233 Comments
Filed Under: giveaway

Today’s giveaway is sponsored by I Sew Lucky, a DARLING shop of plush owls {various sizes}, rag dolls and ornaments {eeeek! so perfect for Christmas next month!}.

I’m totally smitten over the fabric combinations and pure sweetness of I Sew Lucky’s products. April, the designer, has beautiful sewing skills. The details she adds to her products carry magic :]

Do you see the *twinkle* in his eye?

April writes ~

I am a busy mother of 5 children and a wife to an amazing man! I started I Sew Lucky as a hobby about 2 years ago. My shop started out with scrapbooks and other paper-made items (my first love) but I soon realized that the owls were the way to go. The first 6 months were slow and I actually almost closed my shop. I only had about 50 or so sales. At about the end of May of 2009 it started to take off and I just stuck with it and found what worked and what didn’t. Now it’s 1.5 years later and I’m over 1,400 sales and I’m loving what I do :]

My shop holds owls made with many fun fabrics and different sizes. Owls that are used for bookends, doorstops, paperweights, plush toys (big to small), ornaments, party favors and owl garlands! You will also find a few little sweet rag dolls hanging around.

{And they are so sweet!}

When I look through I Sew Lucky’s shop I see so many opportunities for make-believe…

The bookends have multiple uses {I loved to read as a kid (and still do!)} — paper weight, door stop or simply let them sit pretty on your shelf. When I was younger, dolls were my favorite! I Sew Lucky’s rag dolls would be loved by any sweet girl who loves to play mama :]

I Sew Lucky is giving away

two ornaments {$12 value for each} — that means TWO winners will be selected ♥

Ever since we’ve been pregnant we refer to this little one as “Little Hoot.” I would LOVE to win this ornament as a reminder of this Christmas that we were expecting and so grateful for God’s faithfulness!

I fought every internal comment I could think of a I fought every internal comment I could think of and took my kiddos for a looooong walk today before dinner. ❄️✨ There’s just so much work required to raise children! I’m feeling like a tired lady. But sunshine & fresh air are good companions to keep around. 

We came home and I made “the best dinner ever”. Max specifically announced, “it’s so great you’re launching new meals to the world”. LOL— kids! 🤣👏🏻💓
How about a little Wednesday night introduction? 😘Social media sure has changed over the years and we don’t always SEE who we’re following or remember WHY we’re following certain accounts. 

So, hello! As you can gather, my name is Maggie ;) 

I started writing online (almost 13 years ago) to share the handmade products I was sewing. My shop was called Gussy Sews. ✂️👛I love the community that has grown from sewing & sharing online.

Let’s FFW to today: Zack and I live in Michigan and have four young children (2 boys & 2 girls). I slowly left the handmade industry and walked right into homemaking, homeschooling, and encouraging women through writing. 💕📝

Motherhood has been very hard on me. (And not just because of how close in age our four children are.) It’s been hard for me because I fought for years to accept that *it’s supposed to be hard*. 

I mean, how do you effectively teach another person to know and love the Lord? Bc that’s how I think of motherhood: a calling to nurture others by studying the One who nurtures me. So I gotta make the first move: study the Bible and seek Him first. As my friend Autumn reminded me, vulnerability births transformation. 

(I’ve had to be really vulnerable!)

So, yes motherhood has fully transformed me. But even more so, Christ has fully transformed me. My list of “all that He’s done for me” is off to a beautifully long start.

Something else I want you to know about me: I stalled for years before acknowledging I have anxiety and depression. It’s hard to talk about this because of course this isn’t forever “my hardship”, but rather because acknowledging this means to heal I have to work through some really difficult things. ✨

But my friend Jesus walks alongside me. He’s already done a mighty work in my heart, including helping me process my anger in healthier ways. I’ve also adopted a heart for sisterhood, mothering, and Titus 2 mentorship.

Sometimes our greatest losses are our greatest gains? That’s what I’m clinging to!

How about you? Tell me something about yourself so I can get to know you on a deeper heart level. 🖤🖤
How do you play in the winter? // We had a really How do you play in the winter? // We had a really great time visiting family in northern Michigan. On my blog I share a few ways we played outside, plus I describe a memorable childhood game ❄️☃️. Did you play it as a kiddo?
We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens in the morning (HGTV), playtime before lessons, and not enough quiet time after lunch. This made for a really, ummm, unenjoyable learning experience. 

But today! Today we reset the rhythm, and we have had a much happier home & time learning together. 👏🏻

It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hop It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hope to bundle up for another family nature walk, knowing the fresh air sweeps out any & all frustration, inviting inspiration inside. ✨That’s something we all need more of.
