One World One Heart 2010: A Little Friend For You Too

Update (2/15): A new Mama/family has already been chosen for the little one! 🙂
.

Well, it’s already February 15, 9 pm here. Time to announce my winner just before the day ends
.

But before I proceed to that, I just want to say Thank You again to everyone who has been so encouraging,supportive, and appreciative of my wee one. Loving her dearly in spite of her imperfections. Some of you have even named here! I sure wished I could make many little sisters of her 😦
.

Also, Thank you to Miss Lisa Swifka who has such a wonderful heart to create an event like this and who has worked so hard welcoming and organizing things.
.

Now, for the winner. I wanted to do the old fashioned way of picking a winner where one has to fish right through a bowl of little papers filled with names of families who were willing to adopt her. But the number of comments is quite overwhelming and I don’t think I’d be able to do it just in time as I have promised. Yes, I have to seek help from Random.org But before clicking “Generate”, I sure hoped and hoped that the family it will choose would be a very nice family.
.

And so, after sorting through all the comments, making sure there were no duplicates (as it turned out there were), and then assigning numbers for each names – – –  – – – – –  – – – – – – – –the result was . . . 🙂

.

Congratulations Mary! I will send you an e-mail to ask for your mailing add.

Update (2/15): One more hour to go ’till comments closed! 🙂
.

Update (2/6): You have 10 more days for a chance to adopt her. Still plenty of time 🙂

=================================================
.
Hello everyone! I am very happy to say that I have my magic carpet ride ticket for this year’s One World One Heart Event.
.

This is a first for me and I promised myself that I will join this year. (I knew of the event a little late last year)
.

.

When I first heard of it, I knew then that Miss Lisa Swifka created a wonderful event. Though I may not have participated at that time, it still didn’t stop me from writing my thoughts about it. You can read it here if you like.
.

.

I knew then I wanted to share something that I made. And so, late of last year I started revisiting my crocheting skills 🙂 It is still far from perfect but everything is a learning process, right? 🙂
.

.
What will you win?
.

A kokeshi crocheted by me. If you notice, the colors I used on her is inspired from the colors used in the OWOH 2010 logo. I guess that makes here a OWOH kokeshi. Maybe if you get to see her, you’ll be reminded of this year’s event.
.

.

She is very small (just a half inch taller than her little friend). That makes her about 2 inches  tall – ok maybe add half an inch to include her bun LOL
.

I made her with all the wonderful thoughts of what this event brings and then sprinkled her with lots of love! 🙂
.

.

I do hope someone out there would like to adopt her. You can make her into any accessory you like. Or if you are like me, mine just sits by the keyboard. 🙂 I really hope she will bring a smile to someone.
.

And yes, that is a ball pen she’s standing with 🙂 That’s how small is small (I hope I made sense)
.

.

If you would like to adopt her:
