You Want It? You Got It!

Given how much joy and pleasure my cross stitching brings to the world, it does seem spiteful to keep it from everyone, so I'm creating a piece just for [one of] you:
Ah, the gentle, ladylike arts. 
Nice, right?  Mean, but not profane, so you can keep it up while the in-laws or Child Protective Services are visiting.  When it's finished, this will look elegant in an old-fashioned frame, or even just stapled to your jacket, giving everyone fair warning that you are NOT to be trifled with.

The Details:
  • I'm giving away this cross stitch in a random drawing to be held on Friday morning, March 25, 2011. And yes, it will be finished by then.  Promise.  It'll look amazing.  I'll update with a photo as I finish it.
  • To enter, leave a comment on this post anytime between now and Thursday, March 24, 2011, at, say, 6:00pm EST.  
  • You get an extra entry for tweeting about this - just leave another comment saying you did so.  And if you pimp the giveaway somehow, you get lots of karmic bonus points, and another entry.  Plus, if this is a resounding success, I'll probably do another giveaway or open an Etsy shop and make tens of dollars.
  • I'll announce the winner on Friday morning, and you can then email me/DM me your info.
  • I'll mail out the cross stitch as soon as I get your info, which I will only share with my favorite telemarketers/Jehova's Witnesses.  They're really, really nice.
I ordered the cross stitch pattern here, at Subversive Cross Stitch, who know absolutely nothing about me or my blog and are in no way connected with this giveaway.  I did order something once and the order got messed up and Julie promptly fixed it, so I'm going to say that she's pretty fucking awesome.

Now, leave a comment to enter!  [And it may help your chances if you leave a comment that extols my virtues. You never know.  It may.]

    Have I told you lately how much I love your blog? I am not a fan of things "crafty." I make an exception for irreverent pieces.

    I find it hilarious that you CROSS STITCH vulgar sayings. The pairing of the two is such a dichotomy.

    When my son went to Australia, he brought back a t-shirt for me. It has a cartoon shark on it and the words "Bite Me." So, clearly, I need the cross-stitch for matchy-ness.

    Or maybe I should just send you the shirt. I cut the neck out of it. Is that OK?

    this would work wonderfully as a cross-promotion with one of the 5 billion vampire movies, books and tv shows we have out there today.

    I will frame this and put it over my fireplace, which says a lot since I don't have a fireplace so i will have to get a contractor to put one in. Pick me! Pick me!

    I would like that piece of art please. I would also like to bite you. Is this an either/or option?

    There's a "suck it" pillow? You might need to open an Etsy shop.

    If we combine your cross stitching and my crude cat cards, we would make ... absolutely no money at all, but it would be fun.
