Swiss Miss Pillow Give Away

I've been dying to make something just like this for about two months and think that I'll be making something really similar for myself soon. This one, however, is for you!

Its a 12" pillow made from 100% natural linen and pink cotton, stuffed with poly-fil, and sewn shut. All you have to do is leave a comment with a report on the weather in your town today. I want to know its colder somewhere else than it is in Missouri.

Comments will be open until Wednesday evening when I'll let Brett pick a winner. Make sure to leave a link to your blog or your e-mail so I can get in touch with you before the 19th.

I've got some fun news tomorrow so check back if you're at all interested in holiday projects I've been working on.

EDITED: Due to shipping costs, the give away is open to U.S. residents only. My apologies to the international readers.

First comment! Yes!! I also live in Missouri, St. Louis and the weather outside is frightful. I am an art teacher though and so that means a snow day for me :) Happiness!

Unknown said...

It's snowing in Albuquerque-the first "real" snow of the season! 31 degrees. It's almost freezing! ;)

well it was relatively mild here in ontario (just outside toronto) until about noon when i was on my break from work and then walking it was bitterly cold. the kind of cold where you have your mittens, toque, parka on and yet every bone in your body is still freezing. canada, i tell ya!!

ps: this pillow is adorable!

love.

in northern illinois: 10 degrees, but feels like -4. it was 49 last night and rainy and the temperature dropped more than 50 degrees in a 10-hour period... so, my ABS breaks have never gotten such a workout as today. slip, slip sliding all around.

It's hard to explain the weather here in Kingwood, TX - this morning I walked out to 70 degree, humid air...after being inside for about two hours I walked into a frigid 59 degrees! My boyfriend goes to school in Missouri (Springfield), and he is so loving the weather back in Houston. Is it iced over where you are? He left this past Saturday so he didn't experience the absolutely freezing weather. PS - Are you still sticking it out without your heater??

Andy said...

today started off warmer for december but has now turned rainy and getting colder. just yucky. wishing for blue skies even if cold does some with it

Brr! What?! Is this the dismal rainy Pacific Northwest? No. Can't be. Because right now we have snow, sun glare, and a side of sideways wind gusts. And my neighbors tires are spinning out as he drives up the road...

Fabulous pillow. I love it so.

Wearing turquoise scrub pants today! Yeah! I think I need another layer, though.

love the pillow! i've made about 5 pillows for the couch this week, and I still need 3 more. this one would blend in quite nicely :)

Heidi Joe said...

I'm in Tulsa, so its probably pretty similar to Missouri. My car said 17 degrees on the way home from work, and my friend told me with wind chill it's -4.

It's days like this that I keep asking myself why we moved here from California!

It started today at 51 degrees and when I went out for lunch it was 30 degrees. We're due for freezing rain and snow tonight. :) Whee!

Here in Tacoma it is sunny (what?!) and 30 degrees. In my drafty, 100+ year old house, it feels not much warmer than that. Teacher hubby had a two-hour delay, but I'll have to brave the elements later for derby practice. What a day!

According to weather underground it is 13 above right now :) and we are getting some snow right now too...

Hope that makes you feel better :)

It's windy and rainy day here in Buffalo, NY. A balmy 35 degrees. LOVE the pillow!

It has been between 0 and 10 degrees here in eastern Washington for the last couple of days! I grew up on the rainy westside of the state and just moved here last year, so I am definitely not used to this cold of weather!!

Love that pillow, Rachel! Well, it's freezing here in Fresno. I'm actually watching the news right now and the high tomorrow is supposed to be 45. Believe it or not {I can't!!} but it's actually supposed to SNOW here!! I'm sure if it does, it will be only a little, and won't stick, but you know.

Today it *H-A-I-L-E-D* like you wouldn't believe!! And it did stick around for awhile. Crazy for Fresno.

I'll have to diasappoint you on this one...it reached the 80's today. But it's actually been pretty cold. It got down in the 40's one night, which is REALLY cold for South Florida! Especially when you don't even own a coat.

Oh Northern Canada weather. -25 degrees Celsius in my small town in Alberta. Blue skies and air so cold when you breathe in you cough. It's the perfect weather to spend by the fire reading a book, which is what I did today. Yummy winter.

okay. so im a little biased - i'll give you that - but i say nowhere is colder than missouri. (i am refusing to look at the weather map and going with my gut on this one)

i mean we got some seriously friggin cold weather right now.

i realize we're living in the ice age when i refuse to leave the house without my long underwear making my outfit 3-5 layers thick.

good news-we can finally wear those cute snow boots we wait all year to wear. :)

cute pillow :) hoping on your behalf and my own that missouri changes it's mind and decides we need some sunshine to accompany us this winter season.

best wishes.

I'm in the Virginia Beach area and the weather has been a little crazy! Almost 70 yesterday and 45 today. I think it's supposed to go up and down again later this week. I don't think we'll be having a white Christmas this year but our fingers are crossed anyway!

LOVE the pillow! Okay, it is 7 degrees and snowing here in Des Moines. Wind chill makes it much colder. It's Starbucks weather. Just don't spill it.

Oh my goodness the pillow is so cute. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and the weather has been absolutely frigid. We have experienced low temperatures of -29 degrees celsius however that isn't bad until you factor in the windchill which has taken us down to -42 degrees celsius. Brrrrr..... Stay warm. Cheers,

Augh! It was a HIGH of 3 degrees here in western MN today, yesterday the wild chill made it feel like -36!! And we've been getting a ton more snow. I'm sure that cute pillow would help warm my house up!!

Leslie said...

Well, here in Wyoming we hit a new record with -20 below. Brrrr. Luckily it seems to be getting a bit nicer...meaning it's now above zero degrees. :) I love the pillow and I'm so happy to have found your blog through Flickr.

I am in Seattle, WA and it coooold. It is supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow night...pretty rare for Seattle.

It was chilly here in San Clemente CA today. Not any rain like we had yesterday. If I drive down my street I can see the Ocean and it was so clear I could see Catalina. It was so pretty!

Elaine said...

Hey there Rachel, first of all, the pillow is gorgeous! Gorgeous, yet sweetly simple. :] i love it so much.

The weather here today got to a low of like.... 11 degrees I think. That's probably colder than Missouri I would expect! It snowed and blizzard...ed? all day here today and then freezing rain at night. yuck. Kids here at college were "ice skating" in their sneakers on the sidewalks. hahaha

Here in Norfolk, VA, it's probably not colder than you...sorry! It's 44 out today, with a high of 69 for the day.

Leslie said...

I live in Kansas and we're currently in the deep freeze! We had 3-4 inches of snow yesterday and it was bitterly cold. There might be a bit of sun today but we're expecting freezing rain/snow again tomorrow. This is NOT my kind of weather :-)

bettyninja said...

Okay- it's probably not the coldest- in fact- doesn't really even feel too cold but it is currently 21 degrees in NH and snowing. Better than the 3 inches of ice we got over the weekend that knocked out power to half the state though. Love the little pillow!

Lindsey said...

We live and Texas and don't really know snow. It flirts with us a couple times of year but leaves us unsatisfied and wanting for more.

Hubby and I want to live some place with actual seasons one of these days.

Michelle said...

Oh that pillow is super cute. I would love it since I spent a week in Switzerland this year. As for the weather, it got down to about 34* last night here on the coast of Northern Cali!

Holly said...

Jackie said...

In Baltimore we had freezing rain over night and today it's back up in the mid-40's. I'm sure it's not as cold as Missouri but these ups and downs are driving me crazy!

I love the pillow!! Here's hoping I get picked!!
