New Year giveaway




I realised a bit to my horror that over the whole time as a blogger, I have yet to do a give away. So I thought I would start today.
I had been originally planning on doing my first one, when I reached 500th post, but suddenly 15 posts away seemed a very long time, and I just wanted to do it now. I'm one of those people who once I have either a Xmas/birthday present for someone I find it really hard to wait.
So this is a late New Years give away, I actually finished this little guy on Jan 1 , but have been trying to wait, and finally broke.
So up for grabs is Snug a little amigurumi guy, made from super soft baby alpaca yarn, black safety eyes and stuffed with cotton.
He measures aprox 6.5" ( 16.5cm)
He's all about the snuggles, nuzzles, love ins. He is also rather partial to hot chocolate with marshmallows and pop up books.
If you would like him, please leave a comment below.
I will draw the winner on Sunday night.

Oh Jess, Snug would just love it at our place I'm sure. He would get snuggled and nuzzled and hot chocolates and pop up books in bed...all the good stuff. But I'm afraid marshmellows freak me out since I heard they are made from pigs trotters. X

500 posts - go you! I have loved all your beary faces and music tuts for the un-hip like myself. Of course he is gorgeous, as all things you create

Mel said...

I've always wanted to make one of these for my boyfriend who is obsessed with bears. But I would love to give him one of your bears too!

Congratulations on your nearly-500th post Jess! I would love to enter your giveaway. I think Snug is completely adorable - he would be well loved here (I think I might have inherited the teddy gene from my dad, who has more than 100 bears!)

Selina said...

well, what a coincidence. I'm a little partial to hot chocolate and marshmallows too! Ahh, he is destined to be mine!

Miss Muggins said...

What a little cutie! I would love to feed him hot chocolate laden with marshmallows, and read pop up books to him all day long....but only if he wants me too!

ooooo-my granddaughter would love Snug! She already loves hot chocolate, marshmallows and pop-up books so they would be well suited!!HOWEVER..she may need to love him occasionally..because he definitely looks like a bear who should live at grandmas house.......PS love your blog and your bears, found it recently through pottymouthmama's.

Sally said...

He is so lovely. What a beautiful way to start the year.

anna said...

I have a little 6 month old that would love to give Snug a new home. I solemnly promise we would take him for walks, lay in supplies of hot chocolate and mashmallows and just love him to bits!

Your blog is very cool...I chanced upon it tonight via Ric Rac and you are one talented chickadee.

Jessi said...

oh am i too late ???

this is just so cute! My little Master Tom, aged 1, would LOVE this lil fella!!! I can just picture snug, snuggled next to him in his little cot.

He would make a great playmate for morning chats in bed and perhaps maybe he might have a lil bit of magic to calm Tom back to sleep throughout the night???

Anyway, yes please! I would LOVE to be in to win him!

Am I too late?! I have thought about trying to make some crochet toys for my little boy, but I think that my crochet skills probably don't extend that far! I would love you to save my son from a life without crochet toys! :)

Joy said...
