*the giveaway is now closed*
I was hoping to get to this sooner, but life has been a little distracting lately. 😉 I’m so excited to offer a giveaway for a fat quarter bundle of Laurie Wisbrun’s yet to be released line Brr! If you have been around here for a bit, you know that I have had to pleasure of working with her fabric line.
The first thing I made was a pair of pajamas for my daughter. She wears them all the time and loves the polar bears!
Ahh…snow…a thing of the past.
Then I decided to play along with Katie’s Swoon along and made a mini Swoon with four blocks. Here’s the four blocks together in a photo mosaic.
I’ve decided to hand quilt the swoon, so it will be a little bit before I’m finished. I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I’m having fun.
I’m making progress although I haven’t been able to work on it a few weeks. Soon I hope!
But enough about me…I know you guys want a chance at some of this adorable fabric!
To enter to win the fat quarter bundle you can
1. Help Distract me 😉 Leave me a comment with a funny thought, joke, or story. Anything!
2. Become a follower or let me know that you are a follower.

Milk and eggs
This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males:
A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go to the store for me and buy a
carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6."
A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife
asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"
He replied, "They had eggs."
I follow 🙂 love the fabrics!

I have no funny stories. My life is super boring. My husband on the other hand went to a meeting at church last week with his shirt on wrong side out. I usually check him but he left before I got home. He said nothing like standing in front of twenty men praying and speaking only to sit down and realize your shirt is on wrong.

Funny story, My youngest daughter turned 2 last week. We took her to breakfast for her birthday and she began to play with an older gentleman in the booth across from us. When he got up to leave he came to bid us farewells. He looked at my daughter and asked, " Where did your mommy and daddy get such a cute little girl like you?" she clearly, politely but very seriously looked at him and said "At the target!" We all cracked up, gotta love kids!
I follow and love your blog, good luck with Sliced!!
I have a two year old, and trying to teach better manners…so I grunt (instead of swearing, even if some of my swears are rather old-fashioned, the more frustrated I get, the bluer they get…). So now she grunts with frustration when something doesn't fit together! I remember when you made those, they're adorable!
You've been busy lately, I know.

This is my favorite.
A salesman was driving down a farm road when he say a 4-legged chicken running alongside his car. Curious, he turned down the driveway and followed the chicken into the farmyard.
He said to the farmer, "That chicken is amazing, did you breed him?"
"Well", the farmer said, "I did. You see, my wife and I, and our 2 sons, all like dark meat, so we wanted to breed chickens that would feed us all."
"Wow", said the salesman, "how do they taste?"
"I don't know", said the farmer, "I haven't been able to catch one yet."

Ok, it's late and I'm a terrible joke teller anyway, but I thought this story was cute. My kids (I have 3preschoolers) for some reason started calling my dad -who is normally "Pop" to them- get this, Poppy Ding. My son told me today , " I like calling Pop Poppy Ding because sometimes he sounds like a cuckoo clock!". My dad is a new testament theologian and has never sounded like a cuckoo clock! And how does my kid even know what that sounds like?!
I just signed up officially. I've been following your blog for several months now. As for a funny thought? Polar bears are my absolute fav endangered species. But I wouldn't want to cuddle a real one! Now with polars in print – I can!

This joke is pretty silly but I read it the other day and so it's the only one I can think of:
What Did the Bolt of Fabric Tell His Daughter When She Threatened to Run Away to India?
"Go ahead..you'll be sari."
My favourite joke – told to me by one of my grade 12 students years ago. This student was always trying to tell me "dirty" jokes and I'd always have to stop him. One day he promised me the joke was clean. And it was:
Why does a chicken coop only have 2 doors?
.

Because if it had 4 doors, it would be a chicken sedan!
Hahahaha
And I am a follower 😉
That just might be my favorite Swoon yet. Really terrific!!! Really!
I'm a follower. I receive your updates by email. Thanks for offering the lovely giveaway. I love those polar bears.
My children tell me that I have no ability to tell jokes. They might be right, but It would be hard to prove since I can never remember any to tell.
Here's a joke for you, we woke up to snow on the first morning of spring *sob*.
Already a follower, thanx for the chance.
My friend Dawn told us at our Sip N Stitch get together last week that her husband had told her that he thinks they are soul mates. Dawn is in her sixties, this is her second marriage & Rick had to ask for 10 years before she FINALLY said yes. They have been married for about 12 or 13 years now. Far from finding this information romantic, she stated that it scared the **** out of her-she doesn't want to be his best friend/soul-mate, she's fine just being his wife. I came home & asked my husband if I was his soul-mate. The response was "If you want me to be." We have been teasing Dawn ever since. I am a follower by the way. Love the swoon blocks, esp. the one using Laurie's chairs!

Brrrr! We woke up to it snowing again today! I think the weather is mixed up?!?!? I love this fabric! And your quilt looks fabulous! 🙂
Here's my joke:
A 71 year old lady goes to the doctor. All of a sudden she starts shreiking and hollering and running down the hallway. An older doctor takes her into his office to calm her down and find out the problem. Then he confronts the doctor that she was there to see. He says to the younger doctor "How can you tell a 71 year mother to 7 and grandmother of 12 that she is pregnant?" And the younger doctor says "Well, she doesn't have the hickups anymore does she?"
I'm already a follower! Thanks for a chance to win this adorable fabric! 🙂

So today I brought my son a chocolate iced doughnut with sprinkles for him when I picked him from preschool. I have no idea why i thougth that was a good idea, but I did it anyway. He got so excited when he saw it. Then he squealed, 'I LOVE SPRINKLE BAGELS!!!' it was adorable. Ok, that was my funny story for the day! I've been in love with this fabric for a while!!!
And I'm a follower!
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children. "You all have obsessions," he observed.
To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy."
He turned to the second Mom, Ann: "Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny."
He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: "Your obsession is alcohol. This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy."
At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got up, took her little boy by the hand, and whispered, "Come on, Dick, this guy has no idea what he's talking about . Let's pick up Peter and Willy from school and go get dinner.”
Long time follower!! And I adore those Swoon blocks. Just stunning.
I hope that it will make you smile: "I told you so!":D

This may be a groaner, but I thought it was really adorable. When we were kids, my little brother (then 5) came up with a joke all on his own; What do you get when you cross a cat and a dog? A fight!
Ok, this one is courtesy of my three year old. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the hamburger store! (followed by uncontrollable giggling by my little man) At least he gets it!
Oh, and I'm a follower! I love this fabric line and can't wait for it to hit stores. Thanks for the chance to grab some early!
I love this fabric! It reminds me of the time I bought these stuffed Coca Cola bears to give to my two best 7th grade friends. The perfect gift, right?!
Happy follower!
Ah. Not a joke but one of those things kids say. In a conversation with my 3 year old- Me: We are going to visit Auntie Sara. She has a pool. Do you remember her? Do you remember the pool? J(acts like he totally remembers): Does she fit in it? Ba-dum.
I have a funny video for you. Sorry , I'm not good on telling joke!
