I would first like to start out and just thank everyone again who entered for reading Sew Exhausted and thank you all for all the wonderful comments! I have enjoyed reading every single one of them. They sure make me smile! 🙂
And now to the good stuff…
I wanted to rent out Catja’s kitty but he seems to be booked pretty solidly so I asked my eldest daughter Kadi if her birds- Akua and Milo would like to play along.
Meet Milo…
This is when he was a baby. He was only 2 and a half months old! (He was still in the store in Texas where Kadi fell in love with him and HAD to bring him home!) Milo is a sweetie!
And Akua has been with us a few months longer. She is about a year old and Kadi adopted her from another family. She is a brightly colored conure!
And here are some pics of Akua and her mommy!
ANYWAY… I bet you are ready to see who our little birdies chose!?
I actually was very concerned about getting them to WANT to play along but she had a very clever idea. A and M LOVE sunflower seeds. So we took pieces of paper and wrote the name of everyone who wanted to enter on a piece of paper. Then we set them all out in a neat circle with a sunflower seed on top. (I did not set in any order or know who was where. I just randomly set them down!)
If you had just commented without choosing a number you were eligible for all 4. Otherwise if a # was stated it went to that person- (hope that makes sense!)
At first they just sat there… Then Akua tried to “escape” the circle. We put her back and after a minute or 2 they realized there were SEEDS there! 😀
And here are our winners…
Giveaway #1 The winner is Anne W! Anne takes home the lovely floral fabric and the pattern size of her choice!
Giveaway #2 The winner is KSGentry! Three fabulous patterns to add to her collection!
Giveaway #3 The Winner is ElaineOC. Another three patterns! Hope you can use them!
Giveaway #4 The Winner is Kim! I am excited to see what you decide to do with this!
CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners!!! And thank you to EVERYONE who entered! I really wanted to send you ALL something! If you could either DM me your address on TWITTER (SewExhausted) OR email me sewexhausted@ g mail I will get your sewing swag in the mail. 🙂
I am thinking Milo and Akua are very pleased with themselves…
Hugs!

Congratulations to all the winners and to the gorgeous birds for doing such an amazing job! Also a big congrats to you for your anniversary and for such a great blog 🙂
🙂 Thanks Chris! I appreciate the kind words!
What a cute way to draw winners!
🙂 Thanks…the birdies were very cooperative!
OMG! Milo and Akua are so CUTE! My parents had birds when I was young, but I don’t remember having them in the house. Akua and Kadi are so affectionate with one another! I didn’t realize that birds interacted with people that way! It’s adorable!
I never realized it either but these birdies have personalities Michelle! They are funny and cute and can be grumpy… Milo is like a toddler right now getting in to EVERYTHING and knows the word no.. lol. And Akua is like a snotty teenager sometimes! Other times they just want to be on your shoulder or lap and Akua LOVES to perch on top of Kadis head! 😀
Excellent idea, getting the birdies to choose! Thanks to them for picking my card, & to you for hosting the giveaway! 🙂
Hee hee hee, go birdies!! Kitty apologizes for being booked. He suggests that you contact his assistant at least a month in advance for next time.
(ps, your link to Kitty does not work, he was curious to see where it went :P)
I fixed Kitty’s link… I am sure he will be getting a lot more fan mail now!
Lol. Impossible!! He has two international assistants working round the clock. 🙂
Yaay! I’m so happy I’ve won! Thanks for the super cool give-away and Milo (guess its in the name 😉 )and Akua are super cute!
WAAH! I’ve just seen this! How exciting. Sorry, hope I’m not too late, I’m about to email you 🙂
Nooo! I waited for you! I am glad you “checked” in! 🙂 Congrats!
