Uncommon Goods Giveaway!

I'm so excited to be partnering up with Uncommon Goods again for another giveaway!! Woo!! It was awesome to see how many of you guys were fans back in November, so when they reached out again to give a $50 gift card to a lucky reader, I couldn't say no! With Mother's Day right around the corner, this will be a nice little present for yourself or for your mama...

New Dress A Day - Uncommon Goods Giveaway - DIY - Potholder Loom

I love the DIY goodies that they have and tried out this Potholder Loom to test out my retro crafting skills. It's been a while since I've made these - I was a camp counselor over 10 years ago - so it was fun to pretend I was back on Long Island wearing T-shirts with "STAFF" written on the back!

The kit came with all the supplies needed to craft a potholder and the fabric strips were in awesome colors unlike the not-so-pleasant ones at camp. It felt like there was always an abundance of browns and oranges when all I wanted were blues and greens!

Since mom is getting this sent to her, I picked a few of her favorite colors to play around with.

I won't show you the after shot yet, just so Mom is a little surprised, but I'll have to have her take a photo with it to share with everyone on Mother's Day!

To enter, head on over to Uncommon Goods and leave a comment of what you'd love to get for yourself or what you'd like to give Mom this year! The contest ends a week from today (5/5), giving the lucky winner time to go shopping! There are these gorgeous Mother & Child necklaces or this super earthy Tree Root Votive Holder that are totally Mom-worthy!

PS, stay tuned for this remake tomorrow…
