Help Needed! (must have Facebook)

So, i've just entered into a competition to hopefully win a $200 voucher at my local Spotlight (craft store). Thing is, I need votes.

Can you spare a few seconds for me? If I won this it would mean that i'd have a years worth of spendings at my store, or I could do a few projects that are just too expensive to shell out a heap of money on.

CLICK HEAR PLEASE>

If the link doesn't work, here's the code to copy and paste: https://www.facebook.com/Spotlightstores?sk=app_218931798221036&app_data=peid%3D68310%26page%3Dentry%26id%3D28566

If it takes you to the main page, my entry's on the 3rd or 4th page at the moment, but will probably be further back by the time I post this.

All you have to do is hit the vote button, I think. There may be some Facebook app that you need to allow, I can't remember. :/

Thanks in advance! :D

The entry in question:



Thankyou, everyone! :D

I got Featured on Shop Delighted!

I have an excite - I was just clicking my way across the net (as you do) and thought i'd check up on my Delighted store.
I found something rather familiar on the front page...



:D

Ponies.. Wanted Dead and Alive.

Ok, so I like my ponies. I like them between two slices of bread, I like them with sauce, I like them with bullet holes.

I also like them alive, too.

I've been making patterns recently, in the 3rd Gen style, which degenerated into making sprites of killing ponies pretty quickly. It was pretty fun, too.

my Delighted store has lots of G3 style ponies now, and there's more to come: Click here to go see Ponies!

However, the glue factory has claimed these three:

Rainbow Dash (as a G3 Pony, she was an Earth Pony, not a Pegasus)
DeadDashie

Pinkie Pie:
pinkiedie

and Rarity. I'm not her biggest fan.
Rarity
Hence the chainsaw to neck action.

I'm currently dreaming up new and interesting ways to kill Fluttershy and Applejack... stay tuned!

I've taken a short break from finishing the last two Christmas presents I have to organize, for the last few days. I've been having a bit of fun!
I've listed some fray resistant Aida - I coloured it myself, and used a piece of black for the cat moon piece below. It really is fray resistant, and is quite stiff, but not too stiff. It's quite nice to stitch on!


I made this teensy phone charm:


I've even put up a few patterns, on my Shop Delighted Store!
I finally listed this beautiful Koi


And I've finished the Cat Moon pattern, subbing the yellow for #919. This was inspired by Halloween.




And finally, I changed up the Facebook page - you can now get there by Clicking this link! it's http://www.facebook.com/SmallStitchShop for those who need to cut and paste.

I'm *dying* to show off the Christmas presents, but as there's a good chance the people i'm making them for will see this, I better wait until after Christmas.

The blog is twitching, but not quite dead.

Ok, i'll admit I've kinda forgotten about this for the last *mumble* weeks.
I have, however, been off dogsitting my baby girls, who are 11 and 12 years old. So of course they're my babies. ;)

Had a good trip. Probably wouldn't fly jetstar again though.. the service in flight was fine, but they don't connect your bags for you - you have to re-check-in at every stop... and they pushed back my flight back to tassie twice. One time without telling me. I was so lucky that I was staying with my mum, and not renting a hotel or something. Also lucky I checked the day before, to see if the flight was still at the same time!

I'm working on my brother's christmas present at the moment, then it's just figuring out what to do for my brother in law (though the gigantic advent calendar I made for my sis, bro in law and neice should be enough lol) and maybe something extra for my dad.. then i'm done!

I've also finished a really cool thing for my swap partner through Sprite Stitch, they should be getting it soon.

OH! I almost forgot to brag (lol)! I have been playing with painting aida, which acts a bit more like dyeing aida, when you accidentally add too much textile medium. So far i've made 3 pieces, one emerald green, one purple, and one black.

I've got plans for the green, the black may make it into a cross stitched bag, but the purple is listed on the shop. Australia Post sure know how to charge for shipping, though. :(

Up in the air I fly, zoom zoom zomazoomzoom

So, off to Perth today! Already at Tullamarine, which is one of the airports at melbourne.
I learned today, that jetstar don't keep your bags checked in when you have a connecting flight, you get to do it yourself!
.. Only you can't do it immediatley. I'm here for another couple of hours, but thankfully can check in my stuff soon. Too bad if I was going to be waiting for like 8 hours or something, can't you imagine how wonderful lugging around two pull along bags are? /sarcasm

Really though, things have been going smoothly so far, I had a yummy nandos lunch, and found out that the mild is too hot for me! Once the skin was off it was really yummy though. My iPad case and the quick phone sleeve I knocked up are working a treat- I hellephanted all the things!

I get to check in at 12, and I'll probably wander out the back then too, and sit on my arse watching the planes or something. Or go for the eleventy millionth pee today.
Speaking of pee... I might be preggo. Not sure, the test read a bit weird. I'll be testing again in a day or two, and hope to have a proper result then. Part of me really wants it to be positive, the other part has enough trouble with the cat! But whatever happens happens, I guess.

Right, I'm going to go and check in. Wish me luck!

Oh yeah, pics are here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/80418796@N02/sets/72157631561034081/

Expect dogs, plane wings, boobs and booze. :D

That's right, i'm getting away for a holiday!
I'll be gone from next Tuesday, and won't be able to fill any orders (unless they're PDF's) until the 12th September.
I'll be off dogsitting - I'll miss my kitty and my man, but damn if I can't wait to cuddle and spoil my dogs!
Yes, you can expect photos. :D

SO
From the 17th September (next Monday) to the 12th October, I can't fill physical item orders, but I'll still be contactable. Reminder - i'm no longer listing things on Etsy - I may still in the future, but for now (and i'll tell you all exactly where the items are, of course!) i'm on Shop Delighted. Me on Shop Delighted

In other news, I'll be going with my sister and neice to the Perth Royal Show - I haven't been for about 10 years! I'm not sure if my niece has ever been, it's going to be a great day! :D
