Tiny Apartment Crafts Giveaway Winners! (Or: The Internet Really Likes Owls)

 Thank you so much to everyone who left a comment on my blog during the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway. All the positive feedback was overwhelming and I really appreciate it. This was my first giveaway and I will definitely be participating in more.

When I was choosing fabrics for my giveaway l knew I wanted to use the Echino print I had been hording, but had no idea which animal would get the most attention. The results were so interesting that in the name of science I made a little chart:  

So you know what the internet likes? Owls. It likes them a lot! I better get busy and come up with some more owl-themed projects pronto! Anybody have a great idea they need a craft-guinea pig to try out?

The winners were chosen using the random number generator from random.org.

The Winners! Congratulations to:
Maddie from New York State, who will be receiving the (much coveted) Owl wristlet.
Manuela, a sewing blogger from Portugal! who will be receiving the lovely Tiger wristlet.
Bonnie, a crafty blogger from Ohio, who will be receiving the Yellow Bird wristlet.

All 3 winners have been contacted and can look forward to receiving these pretty hand painted envelopes with their prize soon after Christmas.

Thank you again for all your kind comments. There will be lots more posts and tutorials to look forward to in the New Year. Happy Holidays from the Tiny Apartment!

Giveaway Day is Here!


The Giveaway is now closed, thank you so much for visiting, and thanks to all of you who participated. I will be announcing the winners soon.

This is my very first giveaway and I am so excited! I am giving away 3 adorable zippered wristlets, each one unique and handmade by me. I will be randomly choosing 3 names once the giveaway closes on December 17th and contacting the lucky winners by email. Anybody can enter, and I am willing to mail these anywhere in the world. Please check the bottom of this post for entry instructions. This giveaway was organized by the wonderful people at Sew Mama Sew; click the giveaway button on my sidebar to see a complete list of all the participants.


These handmade wristlets have silver plated double chain handles and brightly coloured zippers. They are made of super soft upcycled dark brown leather from a vintage skirt and a Japanese Echino printed cotton. The lining is bright pink cotton with a card pocket inside. They measure about 7" by 3.5" and as you can see, they have enough room to hold a phone, a small camera or some makeup basics, along with a little cash or cards. They are also long enough to fit standard pens and pencils. These little wristlets are great for a night out when you don't want to carry a purse, and they also work as organizers for a few special items, slipped into a bigger bag.


I have a lot of ideas for future projects and I am really looking forward to sharing them. If you are interested in seeing more of what I'm doing please subscribe to my blog. Thank you all so much for visiting. Good Luck!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated, comments are now closed, and I will be announcing the winners soon.
