waduya think? **We have some winners!**
****Miss Molly picked some numbers for me and we have four winners of the Miss Iris pattern!***
I'm trying out some new banners and graphics (since I'm having to redo my website in a more Mac friendly program). I really want to do something different, more of a hand drawn approach. What do you think? The header is a little sketch of our house, the tree house. the canoe, and even the little chicken pen down the hill. Then there are all of the dress ideas coming from my little loft in the attic. 
The shop will be "under construction" for at least another day, but when it's back up and running Miss Iris will be up for pre-order (and on sale of course). In fact, lets make this fun.....hmm...oh! I got it! Leave me a comment on this post telling me what you think of the header and when I'm all done with the shop (I'm thinking Monday) I will draw names for a free Miss Iris pattern! If there are lots of comments I will draw 1 name for every 20 comments, that way you will have a good chance to win. Don't forget to give me your email address in the comment too so that I can get back to you if you win.

Love the new header, very cute!!
VERY cute header! I especially like the ideas coming out of the upstairs. That is GREAT.
Just adorable! The handdrawn design goes perfectly with your name 'the handmade dress'!! The only thought I have is to add something to the border of the header - maybe cooresponding dashes drawn around the oustide of the rectangle as well?
I love the new header, definitely goes along with the whole feel of the site. :)
Feels just adorable!! Very creative and sweet mama!!!
I like it! It's very down homey which is what attracted me to your patterns (and blog) to begin with!
I think the header is really cute, and goes with the "theme" of your store name. I love it, and always enjoy your patterns!
(my email is mabelbee at hotmail.com if I win, which I *never* do LOL)
Love your new header. I have a Miss Erin who would look lovely in a Miss Iris.
cute header! love the drawing!
Cute header! I love the little drawings of all your Miss patterns!
I'd love to win and add Miss Iris to my Handmade Dress collection!
I love the new look!
And would love to win the Iris pattern ;)

Love love love your new header! It reminds me of Little House on the Prairie- with a cute twist! Those are my most favorite books ever! Can't wait for Miss Iris!
I love all your designs at the top. Adorable. I get the most compliments on our Miss Madeline dresses. It is a favorite!
I think your header is very creative. Perfect header for your shop blog. (cndyer13@yahoo.com)
Oh, I just love it!! Its too cute, but my fav is the little birdies! Nice touch!
My dd loves your patterns, Iris would probably be her fav!

I think the drawing itself is adorable! My only thought is to maybe soften the outside edges a bit...give it that same hand drawn feeling! All in all, it's a great theme!

So sweet! I love the drawing...I don't know if there's something you could do to make the name of the blog stand out a bit more...but I LOVE the pictures :)
The header is beautiful. Love your blog.
I love the new header - I can't draw at all, so I am always impressed by those of you who can!
I love the new look. It just seems to fit your style and the adorableness (is that a word) of your patterns and such.
I think the header fits with the whole 'handmade' theme. Very sweet!
I love your header! So cute!
Love the little design! Love the new look!
It makes me think Little House on the Prarie. In a good way :)
It is cute!

I like your banner, like the hand drawn look absolutely. I think it might be more eyecatching a little wider and more vibrant coloration. Just my opinion though!
The header look fab! It really suits the site. Can't wait for the new pattern!

I really like the new header! The only thing I would do differently is make the name stand out a little more. It's a bit hard to read with the dark pink background.
Love the new look......The name needs to stand out a little more though. It gets lost in the artwork. Glenda W
I think it is adorable, and if it makes it so that I can order your patterns again (i am a mac user, and have downloaded patterns in the past, but haven't been able to recently) even better! My girls can't have too many dresses!!
I think the new header is precious. I am very excited for a new pattern and am praying you guys can add to you family soon!
Love the new hand drawn pictures. I think it adds to the blog.
And the new pattern looks fabulous!
Cute, cute, cute! Thanks for the chance to win the new pattern!

Love it! The thought bubble with the dress ideas is my favorite part, but I love the cozy feel of it overall.
i think it is precious! and, it just seems to be very "you", or at least from what i gather on your blog;)
Looking good! I especially like the little girl with the apron dress. Sweet!
I love the darling look of your handmade logo. It goes very well with your site and your designs. Miss Hailey would love to wear a Miss Iris soon.

Very cute! I might just make the name a bit bigger and have just the adorable dresses (might need more) all the way across leaving out the background stuff. I guess I just prefer simple and plain (maybe I'm just boring!!). It looks great as-is though. We love your dress patterns.

I love the header - it looks like a dreamy place to live!

Nice! Do you draw on a computer tablet? I'd like to try that so I can scan designs into my embroidery software and digitize them. If you do use a tablet, what kind?
I love it Samantha..it is so YOU! :)
Super cute, are you going to add stick figures of your family?
It is very creative. Congratulations on the upcoming adoption.
Your header does look lovely and handmade. Looking forward to the new pattern - I am just about to blog about the Miss Madeline I made - the instructions were so easy to follow, it only took me an afternoon. Thank you (and thank you for making it all Mac-friendly)!

You're drawing is soo cute. But I also miss your old banner.

I love the header so creative!!
I would love to win that pattern too.
I love the header. It is warm and feels truly organic and heartfelt.
Super Cute! I can't wait for the new pattern.
I really like the new header - I like that it is a handmade approach, which is what you are all about.
Computer generated graphics wouldn't have that same feel.
It's perfect, your header, I have a hand drawn header too thanks to my talented 6 year old. thanks for the chance to win another lovely pattern!
handmade is what its all about...one can see this as soon as the site opens up...gr8 idea bubble with the dresses. just simply sooo cute.

Cute! Love the little treehouse and chicken coop.

I like! The page with patterns comes up in a more compact way now, too. Very nice.
Love the folk art vibe that the header has, reminds me of samplers. I would love to win. My oldest is at the same point of maturity as Molly, no longer wanting to wear "cutesy" dresses. Thank the Lord, He gave me another daughter seven years later so I could continue the cuteness.
I love it! It really fits your style!!!
How cool is that! LOVE IT :)
I think the new header is lovely! It is so nice that all the dresses show on the header :)
I love the new header, so sweet and fresh!

I love the new header as well! You have a fantastic blog
This header is so down your alley. It is just toooooo cute!!
Love the new banner... gives the feeling of handmade, which I think is what you were going for!
I love the new header, it's whimsical and sweet. And congrats on being an "official" waiting family. I pray that it is a short wait.

I love the little sketches of the patterns! Cant wait for Miss Iris!
I love the new header; it catches your eye right away as the page is up loading. It also brings out such personality. In my book handmade is the way to go!
I love that you have a handmade header for your handmade blog! Perfect.
no time to read right now, but I had to say that I love your new header!
Delightful! Follows the motif of Handmade. Especially like the "ideas" streaming out of the attic.
I love it, especially the sketches of the dresses!
Ummm, I kind of can't remember what your old banner looked like. :( But I do like a good change up once in awhile! And that looks nice! :) And I really like all the dashes along the outside of the drawing. silly, huh!
Love the new look!!
I love the new layout, very sweet and simple!
I think its cute and very appropriate. Also want to congratulate you on the adoption. My sister adopted a daughter so I have a warm place in my heart for that, and also understand what a long, difficult process it can be at times.
I think the header is great-very unique and colorful.
I would love to be entered to win the Miss Iris pattern also.
Here is my e-mail address-just in case! :)

I love the new look-very cute. I agree with others that it ties the whole site together. I have two little ones that I would love to try a Miss Iris for!
So sweet and right!!! Can't wait to hear about your babies!
This header is fantastic! I love it! We've just done a facelift on my personal blog, http://SarahJDoyle.com -- header and all, and now we're doing the facelift on our sewing business blog, which will be ready for unveiling in a few days. You have done an awesome job on the header!!

Precious header! That bubble is going to have to get bigger if you keep coming up with more cute patterns!
Thank you again for the wonderful pattern! I can hardly wait to sew that up-I can actually sew it for each one of my daughters! :)
Wow, alot of people have responded to this post!
I like the new header-- it really represents who YOU are and I can tell that is what you are trying to do
