third blogiversary giveaway {closed}

:::this giveaway is closed:::

My third blogiversary was actually January 29th but I have been so busy the giveaway had to wait. I have so much I want to share but between the kids and other responsibilities there just isn't enough time in the day. I'll get it all out eventually!

the bike isn't part of the giveaway. I just like this bike so much I couldn't resist using it as a prop! I wish I could ride this bike all over town and fill the basket with goodies. Alas, Charlotte is a not a biking friendly city.

I know my last giveaway was a tote bag but I have since changed the way I was making them and wanted to give away a 'new and improved' tote bag.

The new tote has a black vinyl bottom that gives the bag a nice weight and structure and makes it more durable.

The rest of the bag is made with a medium weight canvas. The cheery + colorful print is from IKEA and is lined with a white canvas. There are two exterior pockets and two small interior pockets.

Tucked inside the bag are a few of my favorite things:

Essie nail polish in Chinchilly
Ritter Sport milk chocolate with hazelnuts (I love anything with hazelnuts!)
A braided leather bracelet (tutorial by Melissa Esplin- surprisingly easy. I made three in about 30 minutes and plan on making lots more as gifts)
A ring made from a vintage clip on earring

As always, thank you, to all of you that read my blog. I know I am 'small potatoes' and I dont blog often enough but I appreciate all of you that take the time to read and comment!

me, pretending to bake cookies...

My blog friend Abby is celebrating her two year blogiversary. I was excited when she asked if I would like to make something for her month of giveaways. I knew exactly what I wanted to make. An apron and coordinating dish towels (with snaps, of course!). Go here for your chance to win!



I have been making aprons for a couple of years now. They make great gifts and I think every one of my sisters and sisters-in-law and many friends have received one as a birthday present. BUT I have never made one for myself. I decided to rectify that this week! Stay tuned...

happy blogiversary to me!

::THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED::

Today is my first blogiversary! I started this blog because I felt out of place posting my projects on my family blog. So the Sutton Grace blog was born. Named after my daughter Sutton because I just really like her name! I didn't expect anyone to read it, that has been an awesome surprise. You guys make blogging so fun!

To thank you all for reading and commenting and just being plain awesome I am having my first ever giveaway! In an effort to spread the love there will be three items given away:

Giveaway item #1- Apron.
I LOVE this apron. I have made many aprons in my day but this
one is my favorite. Once it was finished and I tried it on I was tempted to
keep it for myself. I won't. But I will be going back to IKEA and
getting more fabric to make one just for me.

Giveaway item #2- A set of lavender sachets.
These smell SO good! Perfect for your car, closet or your 'unmentionables' drawer.

Giveaway item #3- Yellow ruffled wristlet (maybe I am in love with this fabric).
It is just the right size for your phone, keys, small wallet and a lip gloss
or use it to corral small items inside a bigger bag.

HOW TO WIN:
1. Leave a comment on this post. Please make sure there is a way to contact you (email address linked to your blogger profile or leave your email address in the comment) I would hate to not be able to contact the winners!

2. Become a follower and leave an additional separate comment telling me you did so. Or, if you are already a follower leave an additional separate comment telling me so.

3. Post about this giveaway on YOUR blog, then leave another separate comment with a link.

The winners will be randomly chosen next Friday, February 5th.

GOOD LUCK and happy weekend!
