Papernstitch and my first Giveaway!

Thank you to Brittni from Papernstitch for including me in her showcase this month. I also got a very nice slot on her blog yesterday which you can see here I've only just spotted it as I've had a two day spell of total 4 year old indulgence! Yep, Stanley is now 4! We celebrated with a trip to the brilliantly mad Anish Kapoor Exhibition, then a quick dash back home for a mini tea party. Today I've been printing all day with Stanley and his pals, as I did a print workshop at their nursery. The results were fantastic, it's pure joy to work with such an enthusiastic bunch! I'll blog about this more when I get a chance. Having said that, 20 printed bags later, my back is killing me!
Anyway, back to what I'm meant to be blogging about.......

The Papernstitch contest, join in and you could win a prize....oh and one for me too!

......and just to add to the hype, I'll try a mini giveaway:
Leave a comment on any of my products on the papernstitch site, then leave a comment here saying something supernice about my work and what would you like to see more of. I'll do a random pick from all the comments here and the lucky winner will get one of my party bags with a few surprises inside!
Here's the blurb from papernstitch

October marks our one year anniversary for the papernstitch exhibition site! It is hard to believe its already been a year for the site, and well over a year for the blog. To celebrate we'll be running a contest from now through October 25th on the pns site.

Some of you may know that each individual product in a pns shop can be commented on by anyone who is logged in to their account. The exhibitor who receives the most votes in their shop will win a prize and you can win too! Win your favorite product on papernstitch!

How do you enter?

Simple. Visit the papernstitch site, browse your favorite shops and comment on any product that you would like to win. Why do you love that item or that shop? Tell us in the comments section. Just don't forget you have to be logged in to comment. You may enter an unlimited number of times, but can only comment on each product one time. Each comment is an entry.

I will select three winners total from the comments pool for the entire site and those three commenters will win the product they commented on! Pretty cool, huh? Visit the site now to enter the contest. Don't have a free account yet? Get one here (it takes 5 seconds, literally).

  9. Hi Helen, I'm fascinated by hand-printed fabric, and as a fellow designer of fabric, I can thoroughly appreciate the different medium! What amazing work you do. I love the alphabet blocks and plan to buy some just as soon as I have extra "play" money!

  22. I can't get over the design of your printed fabrics-- mainly way the colors heighten the simple elegance of the prints. Then, in the handmades you create using your fabric, with a true artist's touch you create lines and proportions that show off the beauty and colors even more! I shall call this "layers and layers of loveliness" and I DO love it all!

    the whole shop is beautiful, everything
    I'd like to see more things for the home, in pastel colors....
    happy day
