giveaway is now closed

Hi. I'm Kathy from MerrimentDesign.com.  Five things I love are:

1. My daughter Elise (and hubs of course)
2. Traveling to places I've never been
3. Tarty sweet lemonade (addicted)
4. Making things that are clever and special
5. Photos of things people have made with my free craft tutorials

I share free simple and clever crafts and patterns that have been featured in The Knot Magazine and Knot TV, WeTV, Craft, Daily Candy Kids, Style Me Pretty, Chicagoist, Apartment Therapy, design*sponge, lifehacker, Parents Magazine, Prudent Baby, One Pretty Thing, TimeOut Magazine and more.

My favorite crafts are ones with a little playfulness and personality …useful, simple things with a twist. I love crafts for kids, vintage-inspired looks, recipes and I have a weakness for recycled crafts. Here are a few of my favorite craft tutorials:

Sewn fabric wedding invitations
Wedding ring holder from a recycled egg carton 
Napkin rings from Saran Wrap tubes 

And of course, Chalkboard Pillows made with magical chalkboard fabric.

This stuff is great. You can cut chalkboard fabric into shapes and sew it onto pretty much anything using a zigzag stitch. You can use regular chalk on chalkboard fabric but if you use Chalk Ink markers, your drawings won't wipe off until you wipe it off with a wet rag. Neat, huh?

This giveaway is for your choice of four chalkboard shapes for you to sew on anything you'd like plus a square for you to cut your own. Choose all three the same or mix them up. They are generally around 9x7 inches here or there.

Birdie
Dinosaur
Butterfly
Daisy
Truck
Airplane
Christmas tree or ornament (great for a daily changing advent calendar)

Enjoy and good luck!
