I will be doing some more crochet but nothing is done to show here. I always have a project going. Sigh!
I hope to give away many of these projects to family and friends. If you are interested in a wine cozy (I have too many), please let me know. I would like to see how many are interested so I can plan a giveaway on my blog. Send me an email to jjspina(at)comcast(dot)net and put in Subject Line WINE COZY GIVEAWAY). If I have enough who would like one I will schedule a giveaway. All I will need from you, if I do this, is your name. If I draw your name in the giveaway I will contact you and then you can give me your address. I will only ask for a small S&H cost from Paypal.
I have offered other giveaways but have never gotten any response. Doesn’t anyone out there like free things? I hope I hear from some of you. If not, I will give them away to friends and family or anyone I meet. Ha!
