Sew Grateful Giveaway! First of three Giveaways

Yay to the wonderful Debi at my Happy Sewing Place for instigating the Sew Grateful Week. This is its second year and it is growing, as all good ideas do.
To kick off here at Sent from my iRon, I am giving away something dear to my heart. A pin cushion ring, made by the inequable Embroidenator, aka Jenny Hughes Allan, my darling, clever mother.
This is mine - the winning one will be different but just as gorgeous!
Pin cushion rings are so practical - you put it on the middle or pointer finger of your non-dominant hand and the pins are right there. More comfy than a wrist cushion, and you don't have to keep twisting your wrist to use it.
I may also throw in a few titbits of gorgeousness.
So, if you want to be in the draw for this lovely thing, leave a comment below. 
I will be posting two more giveaways this week - you are very welcome to enter one or all, and I will happily post anywhere in the world. :)
Happy Sew Grateful week!!!

      Well, you can always participate anyway, by doing a giveaway, or writing a post about what you are sew grateful for, or a tutorial, stuff like that. :) Debi is very flexible about it all and it's more important to experience being sew grateful than to have done any specific thing! xoxoxox

    Oh, how pretty! Keeping track of my pins is becoming rather difficult, so I am always looking for something else! Please add my to the list of hopeful entrants!

      I AM aren't I! She is so talented and I love it when we can hang together and do some sewing. She just loves to make things and will sit with a little table in front of her chair whipping up beautiful things - and this means she is very prolific. I am in awe of her fabulosity. :)
