Meet Megan - mom to one, crafter, avid gardener and tomato grower, and owner of these fantastic textile creations appropriately named Bellflower Textiles.
"I’m a stay at home mom of a three year old in rainy Seattle, Washington. I left a 14-year-long stint in the corporate world three years ago to take care of my little girl. Since I stopped working 60 hours a week, I’ve found myself awash in creativity like never before! I’m constantly making, dreaming, finishing, starting, embellishing, and otherwise exploring the world of fabric arts.
I love to create, to make beautiful and useful things, and most of all to play. My first love is quilting fabric -- all colors, all prints -- which I collect greedily from a million different places. I’ve been quilting since 1994, drawn in from the beginning by the joy of playing with color. Most of my designs are made without patterns, just from a sense of creative experimentation. "
Her work is amazing - you can spend a LONG time browsing her shop with all her nifty goods. Like these:
(as a makeup artist in my former life pre-kids - this caught my attention!)
And now for my favorite item in her shop - the coffee cozies! Megan has a HUGE selection of coffee cozies in her shop! And they are ALL super stinkin' CUTE!!! Just take a look at these cuties:
Do you want one? Do you want to sip your coffee (or tea) in style? Lucky, lucky day! Megan is giving away ONE COFFEE COZY to a very lucky person! And you get to choose your own from the designs she offers in her shop (I think that this is the hard part)!

Do I like Coffee? Only with my Oxygen. I make normal coffee at home and add chocolate/caramel creamer. Last week we were out of coffee and I HAD to stop at Dunn Bros. The person in the car in front of me bought my coffee as a random act of kindness. I was blown away. Can't beat a story like that. Thanks for the giveaway.

My husband and I have just started drinking a coffee from this company, Land of A Thousand Hills. They have partnered with a village in Rwanda to use coffee as a way to invigorate the economy and bring the people new life. It's tasty and you know your money is doing good!
