Over the weekend a thought occurred to me. “Hmmmm… When did I launch Sew Creative?” I did a little digging and realized that this week marks a special little anniversary… One year ago today I posted my very first blog post. Today is Sew Creative’s 1 year blogiversary!
This revelation hit me in the same way that my children’s birthdays do each year. Equal parts shocked that time has gone so quickly and amazed that this hasn’t been a part of my life forever.
If Sew Creative was a person, and I was giving her a birthday present I think I’d have to give her one of the Sew Creative 10 Fabulous Handmade Gift Ideas.
Instead of giving Sew Creative a gift, I’m going to give one of my lucky readers a big, huge present! To celebrate Sew Creative’s 1st Birthday I thought I would give away a few of my very favorite cookbooks and craft books from Raincoast Books and Chronicle Books!
The prize pack is valued at $375 and includes books that I love and have on my sewing studio shelf or my cookbook shelf. They are:
- Plenty
- So Pretty Felt
- So Pretty Crochet
- Cowgirl Creamery Cooks
- Knitted Letters
- Happy Home
- Aida Mollenkamp’s Keys to the Kitchen
- Woolbuddies
- Chocolate Chip Cookies
- The Little Paris Cookbook
- Sewing Made Simple
Here are all of the books lined up and ready to be sent out to you!
Starting tomorrow until the end of this contest, I’ll be sharing a FREE recipe or craft excerpt from one of these books. Tomorrow’s post will be a cast iron frying pan chocolate chip cookie… and believe me… it is delicious!
More blog anniversary thoughts to follow throughout the week… but I want to take this moment to thank all of you for taking the time to read Sew Creative and for all of the fabulous friends I have made from it over the past year. You will find some of my blogger friends’ social media links in the contest below. Meet them, love them, follow them… they are fabulous.

Chocolate Chip Cookies; I need to get out of the rut. Congrats on your blogiversary.

Every time my mother-in-law visits, she ends up mending a pile of clothing that I save for her. Seriously, my four boys know where the Grandma Basket is and they put in any pieces of clothing that need her attention. If I won ‘Sewing Made Simple’, I could try mending some of them on my own!
Who am I kidding? I’ll probably leave it all in the basket!

Wow! Congratulations! I would love love to win! Oh the LittleParis kitchen!

Congratulations on your blogiversary! Time flies by doesn’t it? You’re so sweet to celebrate your milestone with all your readers. I’d appreciate any of these inspiring books although the real simple sewing is calling my name… The more simple the better for me. 🙂
