Happy Birthday 100th Post Giveaway

I promised this post yesterday, but as it turns out, 32 was a pretty great birthday with too many wonderful activities packed in to have time for the post and my 100th post giveaway...yes, both fall on the same day!

Yesterday was one of the best birthdays in recent memory.  Breakfast in bed with my boys. Sewing on a present for myself and for you.  A gorgeous lunch with just my mom and my sister. Researching which new lens I should buy as Greg's birthday present to me. Playing at the meadow, just the four of us.  Dinner outat a delicious Cuban restaurant with dreamy ambience and good friends. Flan dessert at the restaurant, and chocolate dessert at home. A movie with family before bed. Aaahhh...perfect.

As for the 100th post giveaway above...I'm calling it a picnic table cover/tablecloth/picnic blanket.  Is that obscure enough for you?  I'm going to use it as all of the above (I made one for myself and one to give away!)  It's designed to fit perfectly on top of picnic tables, with ties to keep it from flying off, so that when we go camping we'll have a cozy cover to feel more at home...and really, I love seeing pretty fabrics out in nature.  And when we're not camping I'm going to use mine as a tablecloth in our breakfast nook.  It would also be a great little picnic blanket for a small fall picnic.  I haven't tried yet (not quite finished backing and putting the ties on them yet) but I'm hoping the ties will be able to be used as a carrying strap for taking it on outings.  We'll see.  I'm loving the combination of vintage looking floral fabrics with the bolder brighter modern fabrics.

If you'd like to give this baby a loving home, just leave a comment here on this post.  I'd love it if you spread the word around, so if you'd like to post a link to this giveaway on your blog, throw an extra bonus comment on here for an extra chance to win.  I hope you'll be as excited about yours as I am about mine!  I'll do the drawing late Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, and since I'm a new little blog, you've got a pretty good shot at winning! 

I'll leave you with a few favorite birthday pictures.  Happy Sunday.
