    I just had to pin Public Library. I think that's my new favorite, just because my book load always looks like a pile too whenever I come home from the library. :D

Being one who isn't easily motivated I really admire your dedication to such a project and love seeing the different places it has taken you and the opportunities and exposure that has happened. You are amazing, truly, and I hope you'll continue brining this wonderful work into the world.

  39. I am always amazed by your beautiful work. I adored the Mad Men pieces and all the female comedians (Janeane!) so much. I love your style and your stitching and sketching talents are awe-inspiring -- you capture so much with just a few strands of thread. I love it.

  54. This would be awesome! At least once a week, I waste an hour on the computer trying to get a picture of my kids to work as a line drawing.

Seriously, I like pretty much all the same movies/tv shows and pop culture references, so I would love to have one of your works in my house! A custom one of me and my husband would be incredible, and I'm already eyeing a few for my baby's nursery (our first kid is due in December!) I can't wait to see what you do over the next 63 days or so!

  79. I'm not sure WHY I wasn't officially following your blog already! Haha. I definitely fixed that!!

    I looooooove all of the pieces that you have done. You've got some mad skill! & really make me want to start embroidering things. I can knit & crochet, but they can't fill my walls up! Haha. I started an "art wall" in my bedroom & I would love to have one of your pieces on it. Okay, more like 5. Hahaha!

    Last year I decided to celebrate all of the "weird" holidays. But I kind of got un-motivated and just stopped doing it. But I wish I stuck with it, or planned it out better, or something! Because I think it would have been a lot of fun to have finished. SO, what I'm saying is, you've come SO far in your 365 days that you HAVE to finish! You will be so freaking proud of yourself for having accomplished something os awesome. & I know you can do it! It can be totally hard to keep something going, but I think you have it in you to finish it!

    Okay, now that I've written an entire chapter in your comments... I think it's time to post this, hahah!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Just followed ya on twitter & tweeted! (Although I hope no one else sees it, hahaha! ;) I'm greedy! haha.)

    ReplyDelete
  83. This is so sweet of you! I adore your work, you are so incredibly talented. Oh, and I follow you :)

    ReplyDelete
  84. Wow! Seeing this giveaway totally made my day. LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR WORK! I first saw you in Frankie Magazine and have been an avid follower ever since :)
    I was so terribly excited when I saw your "Arrested Development" series that I think I've pinned nearly every single one, and it has also inspired me and a good friend/fellow Bluth fan to do some Arrested Development themed craftwork!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. What a lovely give away!

    I am following your blog from the other side of the world (Denmark). And I cheer you on BIG TIME!! You make such beautiful things :-)

    ReplyDelete
  86. I literally squealed out loud (tres girly) when I saw you were doing a giveaway of one of your amazing works of art!
    I've been following since back in early double digits (your Steve McQueen blew my mind!), and I love seeing each and every new piece you do! You have inspired me to really get into embroidery and opened up my eyes are to how many different ways there are to do it - not the standard roses on a hankie haahaha! I'm currently in the middle of doing the Vinyl Love pattern you sent me - I am in love with it!
    Not to jinx my entry but if I won, I already know which of the many I'd have to narrow it down between :)
    Lucky, you are an inspiration, a talented artist, and a super rad lady! Keep it up - theres only a couple of groups of 10 left!!! GO LUCKY!

  104. I was waiting since the announsment, because I couldn't find the right words. You see, your blog for me is not just an inspiration. Because of you and your works I start to believe in myself as a handmaker. And you show me what's hoop :))
    I just really hope that after 365 days there will be more 365 and more.. and more! ;)
    If I win I'll ask you to stitch my portret or Rick and Ilsa from Casablanca (I'm 26 years old and I've seen this film just now, it's truly amazing!)
