It's Time For A Giveaway !

Hey y'all!

Let me introduce my friend Reeve Coobs!

I was over the moon honored awhile back when Reeve

asked me to do a few illustrations for her blog and now, 

I get to host a GIVEAWAY for her new CD!

My copy went in the CD player... and it's still there!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I met Reeve through the Tosco Music Party and The Evening Muse and I believe it was around her 21st birthday! But somehow, I feel like we've always been friends... I can't remember life without Reeve in it! She has the voice and heart of an angel! When we both had more free time, we use to get together lots to knit and solve all the problems of the world. In fact, I think Reeve is one of the few friends I have that has ever MADE ME SOMETHING! You know how I feel about a handmade gift! BEST! 

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I can hardly wait until the CD Release Party next weekend, Friday, Nov. 1st, 6:30pm @ The Neighborhood Theatre. Here's what they have to say about Reeve and I couldn't say it better myself... She "creatively blends folk, pop, country, and rock into an original sound of her own. Her lyrics are smart and real, and her voice is rich and haunting and leaves you wanting more. Reeve's songs can sometimes be uncomfortably honest, but that is what makes her such a moving performer. She has a very powerful voice but unlike most voices you hear today, Reeve knows when to keep it soft and light. Her thoughtful lyrics and voice joined with her tasteful guitar playing makes for an extremely rare talent. In 2005 Reeve won the Creative Loafing of Charlotte Reader's Pick award for Best Female Vocalist."  

She's been as busy as a bee making some VERY cool stuff for the party! 

So I had to get with the spirit and choose something I've made 

to add to the giveaway....

Rattles My Bones !

She needs a good soak and block, but

I love my new sweater!

It's super bulky 100% highland wool yarn on size 15s,

so it's going to have to get pretty darn cold to 

enjoy more than just looking at it!

Casting on the baby version!

I Spy The Southend . . .

See that Rafe bag?

Well, I can't tell you a thing about it,

but I can show you how to 

~ GET THE LOOK! ~

Make it yourself with my ~ Stitch Poet Southend Hobo Pattern ~

This Is What I'm Thinking . . .

Most people think starched, perfectly pressed, white shirt

when they think of ~ Carolina Herrera. ~ 

Me? I can not get ~ this jacket ~ out of my head!

Looks simple enough to make if you have a fur collar.

I've got a few I've gotten at vintage shops so...I won't be headed 

to Neiman's with this on my list of things to try on...

but maybe these...

  

~ Marc Jacobs Swimsuits ~ are so adorable!

Charlotte Knit Buddies: Not sure if she still carries it, but Tangles in Waxhaw use to have the real fur for knitting and trim! Would be perfect on top of some Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande, Rowan Lima!, or maybe some yummy Malabrigo Merino?! (While gathering these links, I ran across Plymouth's new Baby Alpaca Ultimo! Do any of my girls carry this? Sammie Jo? Debbie? Cheryl? Remi? Elizabeth? Y'all, Do I need some? Reminds me of a little version of their discontinued Alpaca Loop...or my dog Rush :( 

Almost finished with ~ SimplyMel's ~ Boathouse Row! ~

It's charcoal grey in ~ Baby Alpaca Grande! ~

She's so sweet, I think it will have to get a little

embellishment before it goes in the mail!
