A few little peeks for you & wonderful giveaway goodies ~

I still just can believe this is my apron on the cover!! Sherry at Creations from My Heart emailed me to let me know that Stampington has the (apron-ology) cover posted on their website!! I just had to show you too....what a honor.....

Monday I had a little parcel in the mail from Dianne at Mamas Pocketbook ... I won a giveaway and just look at all the goodies she sent!! A Make Mine Pink catalog ~ a beautiful hand sewn business card holder (I really needed this!) ~ a gorgeous handmade card and last but not least the apron pattern that I actually won!! I love everything Dianne, thank you so much!!

I wanted to show you the sweetest birthday card from my friend Su in France!! She makes the most beautiful things ~ Su, thank you for your wonderful birthday wish and for such a precious card!!!

I actually created today!!! YAAAAY! And I'm even almost finished with the project....I'm working on my first art quilt to send in to be published...well, if it's OK it will be ~ you see, I've never made an art quilt. I do love to sew though and I do love art so maybe I can pull it off! Of course I had to use beautiful bird and nature images that I love ~ printed on fabric of course.....I just love the way they look on the fabric!

Just a little peek before it was completed.....

I tend to procrastinate when starting something that I've never done before. Do you do that? I know I've spoken about it before. I think that after I finally have the idea worked out in my mind on how I'm going to do the piece I can then get started. Sometimes the idea just doesn't come as quickly as I'd like!

Wishing you all a very happy Tuesday sweet friends ~

xxoo, Dawn

Blogging is truly so much fun to me ~ the relationships made, the meeting of kindred spirits is such a wonderful thing. It's a great way to unwind from a busy day, become inspired and uplifted in this sweet circle of friendship.

Well, back to winning a giveaway.....I won the most wonderful Amy Butler sewing pattern today!! It's a domestic goddess apron pattern (oh yeah that's me! :) It was at a blog that I've just discovered Mamas Pocketbook ~ Dianne has a store too and sells tons of beautiful patterns and goodies PLUS she has a list of FREE patterns, too!!
