today i was feeling inspired and generous and creative (gotta roll with it when i'm feeling it, right?), so i decided to honor that and came up with a giveaway idea. blogging is revolutionary and subversive and encouraging in so many ways, and each and every one of you hold me up when i'm feeling down. so why not create something to send to one of you in honor of you special ladies and germiefreaks? i just wish i could send something to every one of you.
that is to say that you want this little gem i've created...
someone wants him, no?
here he his- puck fignopolis. he's a cow that likes to listen to records and has a liking for vintage fabrics and buttons and wool felt. he's a keeper.
what do you do to enter, you ask? leave me a comment under this post. all peeps, dear and near ones and anonymousy-readery ones, too. you owe me nothing except good karma. at the end of monday night, i'm going to close the comments to this post (i act like i know how to do this), and then put all the names in a hat, and let my gray pick the winner. she's already made a "puck fignopolis" song, so maybe i'll catch the winning pick on video, winner and all. i'll announce the winner and then scramble to get in touch with you regarding your snail mail address. if i'm successful, then i send you dear puck.
please enter. my self esteem depends on it. and good ole puck needs a friendly bloggie home.
if you're the lucky winner, you get to see my wonky sewing techniques and puck's lumpy-stuffed leggies up close and personal! (stating the obvious, i know...but puck's eyes and nostrils *nostreeels as gray would call them) are vintagey buttons, so puck's not a good wee-one hands-on toy, more of a high-up-on-the-bookshelf-lookie-lookie toy, ok?
(one last one, with a legless jenny doll for scale)

Nina,
I'm a friend of Kevin's from his Barnard days and I came across your blog when I was reading his. I love love love your blog and read it almost every day. It really makes me smile and your kids are some cutie ba-tooties. I'm a psych grad student out here in ol' Bezerkeley land, CA and would love to put your little cow on the shelf in our clinic (I work in one of the only child labs on campus). I think the kiddos would love his cute little face as much as I do. Sooo, enter me pleeeease!

I love puck, but I would be afraid my wee ones would eat his buttons, you know, everything in the mouth!!! We will live vicariously through others, but we do adore our bunnies. So, you don't have bo put me in the drawing, but just know that I adore all of your work. Can you give me a sewing lesson please? I need to get a sitter for these buddies and you and I can drink tea and sew.
xooxoxox

Mooooo...puck would definately have an awesome home here...we'd feed him...and love him...and take really, really good care of him!
Can we keep him please.... = )
I've never commented before, but this is a good reason to start!!! He rocks!
i don't necessarily need puck (although he is ahdooorable....) but i just wanted to toss you a lot of good karma, nina, lord knows you deserve it.
I HEART YOUR SITE! I HEART IT I HEART IT I HEART IT!!!!
amazing how something as wonderful as Puck can lead me to jump out of anon-land and post a comment. I enjoy reading your writing, but will (for now) jump back into the shadows...
love your posts about your family and your life. your husband and son spoofing jackass made me laugh out loud. :)
your cow creation is adorable...i wish i knew how to make my own. so, count me in for the drawing. maybe i can learn a thing or two. :)
The wildies would think he was wonderful (I do too)...plus, we're (hopefully) beyond the buttons in mouth stage, so count us in!
Love,
D.
have we been busy or what? been dying to catch up with you and your wee ones (loved that video of joey!) so, the cats out of the bag...this is what i've been up to! let's talk soon!!!
xo, mindy
I'm honored to leave a comment in order to give this handsome Puck a home.
We live in Wisconsin and when I read that he's a COW....well, we are surrounded by cows here and he would be in good company.
Also, we just bought a cottage on 15 acres that will be a weekend/summer home for us and we've decided that all of the accessories that we put into the cottage will be from blog like artists (no "store bought" pillows or pictures)....so, I will keeep my fingers crossed that my name is picked.....how fun would that be and Puck would be our first "new art piece" to take up residence with us !!!
A comment past deadline for you to that you are wonderful and creative and your posts are so full of life. I know Puck will go to a great home, and although not competing for that handsome chap, had to comment as you said your self esteem depends on it and I would never leave a lubbin like you not hearing how wonderful you are. Happy Chappy Spring
i hope i'm not too late....
