My mom recently figured out how to make some simple and oh so cute items for Christmas and she's been sewing them up by the bajillions. I told her that she should blog about them! Nope, not enough time or interest to blog about anything. So...I too have begun to make these cuties, and I'm giving away a set of 6 to one lucky winner. What is it???
Oh. Gee. wow. A fabric half circle. Ha! NOOOOOO.......
It's a reversible fabric napkin that folds into the shape of a tree! Yay! Super duper cute and easy to make. I'm giving away a set of 6 of these. I hope you enjoy them. I had wanted to post the directions for these, but I do not know how to link to a PDF file. I know how to make the PDF, but how do I post one? Surely there must be a PDF hosting service, like Flickr is to JPEGs. If anyone out there knows how...please explain to me and I'll double your entry. Meanwhile...to enter, check out my new link on the left that lets you follow my blog. Sign up to follow along, and leave me a comment with your email to let me know how to reach you, and I'll enter you in the drawing. OR...leave me a comment anywhere on the blog and you could enter that way too. On December 10th, I'll draw a winner and ship these cuties off to you in time for Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by!

oh, super cute! What a great idea!!! I'd love to win this set! If I don't, I'd love the pattern. I don't know how to link to a PDF file - I've offered one before and just emailed it to whomever wanted it. Not the best option - really time consuming if you get a lot of hits. But I know there are some sites out there that do host your pdfs.... I just don't know what they are!
I love the idea of these napkins and I hope you can figure out how to post the directions. If all else fails, post it to flickr. I enjoyed finding your site.
Those are fabulous. I want them, and I Want to know how to make them.... please advise
Great napkins. Never saw anything like it. Please find out how post a pdf (I am following the comments to find out too), because I would be interested. But winning is even better!
What a cute idea! I'd love to win them, and I'd love to know when you figure out the pdf, these would make great gifts!
Adorable napkins, I would love to win.

I just added you to my Google reader. I LOVE these napkins. My dd and I just discovered them last night and we're hoping to make some for Christmas. A set of 6 would be great (though we have 7 children living at home so we'd have to make a few more ;-). Thanks for the give-away!
I followed you, but it didn't give me an option to comment. This is a great giveaway!
I love the reversible napkins- so cute and such a great idea! Hey I love the name of your blog too- vacuum queen- don't fancy coming round and cleaning my flat do you???

Those are very cute napkins. Your mom should blog about it.
Thanks for all of your nice comments everyone! I will definitely investigate posting my PDF somehow. I had surgery yesterday (blech) and so give me a couple of days and check back, ok?
And B...they'll come to the winner all folded and ironed into place. No half circles. :)
Those are lovely napkins! What a cool idea. Look forward to seeing your PDF for them.
Hope you feel better soon!!!
Those napkins are super cute! Please let me know if you figure out how to get the PDF up for people to view, as I'd love to make my own. Or if not, I'd love you forever if you could email me the PDF. <3<3<3

I have used Scribd before to post pdfs--it's the program that Blogger recommends. It requires registration, but it's free!! http://www.scribd.com/
love the napkins, too!
I have never seen anything like these. So cute!!
How cute! I have a fellow mama for my secret santa and she would love these!
How clever are those napkins?!!

As for linking the PDF, you can create an account with www.4shared.com, and upload your PDF file there. When you upload it will give you your link options, and you can use the direct link on your blog as a text link or simply copy and paste it in a post.
I just tested to be sure you could upload a PDF and it allows it, see example of what it will look like when your visitors follow the link-http://www.4shared.com/file/74339481/ab9bfac9/EWG_pesticide_vegetables.html
(that was a general topic one I decided to test, lol)
Hope this helps! Oh you can reach me at clwendy at yahoo dot com, for the drawing, or if you have any questions or need help with 4shared :o)
These are lovely
Oh my gosh, that's the cutest thing. If you ever have time to do a tutorial, I'd love to whip some up. Of course, I wouldn't mind winning them, either!
What a great idea! Hope I win!

gregjulianne@juno.com
Great napkins! Thanks for sharing!
I look forward to learning how to make them, too, because I am sure that someone knows how to post your pdf, even if I don't :)
If you are using a Mac then you just go to the print menu, where there is an option to save as a pdf. Easy peasy. For a non Mac computer, you can get a program to do this for you...though I have no idea which ones are best,
Good Luck with the pdf :)

Thanks Linda. So far I can make a PDF no problem. The issue is posting it to a site, so that I can link to it from the blog. I think I've got it figured out though, so now it's just a matter of doing it. A couple of days and it'll be up...
Those are CUTE!! I'd love a set!
Did she make that up? She is crafty! I love it.
These are really cute and I would love a set!

Oh, I've been wanting to make a set of these ever since I first saw them - but there are gifts to be made and my magic elves seem to have moved on to greener (whiter?) pastures, leaving me to do all the work mysELF - can you imagine? How tragic!!
So, please enter me into your drawing. And then pick my entry. And send my elves back, wouldja?
Those are so very cute! Your mom must be very crafty.
What a fantastic napkin design!
Those are cute! Can you share the pattern????
There is a free pdf hosting service but I have to be home to look it up. Actually you might be able to google "free pdf hosting" and find it. If you're interested, email me and I'll give you the link when I'm at home.
