It is giveaway time.
Here is a little hand stitched sewing kit for one lucky friend.
The blue pillow is for pins.
The little cream coloured pouch and ribbon is for a pair of scissors or snips.

Funnily enough, I came across an article today in November 2009
"Body and Soul" magazine written by Cami Walker with Caroline McKenzie on the art of gift giving. Cami was down in the dumps following a diagnosis of MS and sought help from a trusted source. She was inspired by a 'prescription for living' given to her by Mbali, a medicine woman and began a quest to give 29 gifts in a month to learn about the art of living well. You can visit her website 29gifts.org to find out more.
I posted off the journey book to Suzana in Croatia and received such a bloom of love in my heart knowing that such a little something is travelling across the world to be met with joy by Suzana and her children.
I look forward to posting this one too!

Ha! Major synchronicity moment! Just got out my sewing kit to finish off (as a present for my brother, along with some 'how to sew on a button' lessons with yours truly) and hopped on your blog to get the final instructions and look what I saw! xx
I was actually going to ask for instructions on how to make this, then realised they are just there on the left! Yipee!!
It would make a fantastic gift for anyone, so I might get some done for the present cupboard.
Thanks for all your awesome creative ideas!
My sister gave me my first handmade sewing kit many, many years ago, it was beautiful and simple and perfect. Now this post has inspired me to get creative and try and make a couple of these to give to my family and friends for Xmas 2010. Oh and thanks for the link to the 29 gifts website. Have a great weekend!
