This weeks Monday Handmade Goodness feature is Amber Campbell of Dizzy Girl Designs. As you will see from her creations, Amber is a fun loving inspiring Artist who works with a wide variety of mediums.

Owl stuffies

These owls are just some of the many Stuffies she sews, with a multitude of found and upcycled  material.

Upcycled hat

I love her hats made from upcycled sweaters and clothes. You won't find anyone else wearing the same hat as this.

Mixed media

Her wonderful whimsy comes through in her mixed media art as well. To see more varieties of each, click on the photos to get to her great web site gallery.

I like Amber on facebook so I can keep up with all the new designs she's always coming up with. 

Well that brings us to this weeks tag giveaway. You know the drill. Leave a comment on my blog over the next week and you will be entered to win the "A little birdie once told me" tag. Don't forget to leave your e-mail address or a link to get to your address so I can find you to let you know you've won.

Now for last weeks winner. I'm reaching into my vintage mason jar to pull out a name...and the winner is Brenda. Congratulations Brenda!

If you were at my Christmas Open House yesterday you can check out the winners of the door prizes over on my Facebook page.

Well that was a inspiring creative start to the week. What are you creating this week?

Happy Creating!

Handmade goodness and tag giveaway.

Kobo Touch case

   Good Monday morning fellow lovers of handmade. I'm glad to see you're back for some more handmade goodness. Today I'm featuring a lovely lady I met through Twitter and became friend with over coffee.
     Rosa Yorke sews the most amazing goodies as well as creating with other mediums. She is the owner and creator at Gabry Road over on Etsy where she sells a wide array of  unique sewn items such as Christmas stockings, aprons,  bags, etc.

Utility half apron.

I have to admit that although I think some of these items would be great for people on my Christmas list I've kept a few for myself. I have a Kobo case like the one above and I own the most beautiful  full apron that hangs in my kitchen. I think it's just so lovely though that I haven't been able to bring myself to wear it to cook in. I know Rosa I'm suppose to use it and one of these days I will but it looks so nice just hanging there. It makes me happy even if I don't use it!

Shabby and Chic stocking.

As you can see on this stocking, it's the attention to detail that Rosa puts into her creations that make them so special. I love the little extra things, like extra trims, buttons and lace. I'm thinking it may be time for a few new stockings on the fireplace this year!

Rosa also has a great blog where you can follow her creative pursuit at Gabry Road.

In keeping with Rosa's beautiful sewing, I chose this tag to give away this week. Sewing's not my thing so this tag is inspired by all the wonderful sewers in my life. I'm so grateful to have you in my life so I don't have to sew any more. 

If you want a chance to win just leave a comment any time this week and the winner will be drawn next Monday.

As for last weeks winner, sorry I'm a little slow at the draw since it was suppose to be Friday. You know sometimes life just happens and it gets away from you. Hence the reason for changing the draw time for this week. No excuses you have a full week of chances to win this tag.

Okay enough already. The winner is Liddy McLaughlin. Congratulations and thanks for playing along. I will get the tag sent to you as soon as I get your info.

So there's another Handmade Goodness Monday. Have you started your Shopping yet? Any handmade items chosen for those special people on you list?
