Did I say the drawing for this would be on November 1st? I did, didn’t I? Well, today is only…let’s see…one, two, three, four….um..the 9th!

Have I mentioned that I get distracted by sparkly things?

This month’s Creativity Challenge prize-drawing winner is….Ren of Ren Knits. She finished a couple of pillows with one shared innard. See Squarey, the ultimate dominator on the battle for the stuffing, in our flickr pool.) Ren wins a $15 gift certificate to Green Prairie Fibers. Congrats Ren!

Green Prairie Fibers is the hand-dyed yarn wondershoppe of Kristin R., she of the darling Craft Leftover blog and shop, where she offers the world a new crafty pattern every saturday. I like Kristin’s “reduce, reuse, recycle” ethic, and I find her patterns to be sweet throw-backs to another era. I especially liked this knitting bag pattern, which I’m planning to make to honor my grandmother’s aluminum knitting needle collection. You should defintely stop by her pad if you are looking to make something out of your stash.

This month’s Creativity Challenge will be posted tomorrow as a Small is Beautiful post. It’s a super easy challenge, (we don’t want to overtax ourselves over the holidays, no?) and involves tips. Oooooh! I love tips! Stop by tommorow to find the challenge and the prize!

Yours in creativity,
