Giveaway Day!


My online bud, Ivey, made this little outfit for an ad for Sew Blessed and I fell in love with it! It's our Miss Olivia Paige paired with our Miss Claire skirt, and I think she did a wonderful job of bringing this pattern into fall. And guess what! From now until Saturday you can enter here in the comments section to win your very own set of the Miss Olivia Paige and Miss Claire patterns! Leave us a comment, remember to leave me your email address, and on Saturday I will announce one winner for every twenty comments (that will give everyone better chances!). Best of luck! xo, Sam

I love my father last October 30. I have always sewn since I was about 10 and I have lost my drive to get back in the swing of it; or anything else for that matter. I was his caretaker for the last few years of his life. I would love to have the pattern for my grandaughter who is three. Maybe it would give me a reason to get back on track and out of this slump. patriciawebb05@aol.com

You've helped me rediscover sewing. My little girl is very grateful as she prances around the room in her 'pretty' dress. The only problem is explaining that Sunday dresses aren't always appropriate for chook chasing and veggie planting.

Thankyou
so much for your beautiful patterns, it inspired me to start to sew and madeline has been the making of me! I have done it in Liberty antique block prints both the leaves and flowers ones; lilac linen and a nightie from an old sheet - this was my first practice but is very handy! Keep them coming!!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We

A Wee Newborn Fairy Bonnet Pattern

I wanted to make something to go with the cardigan I made for my coming niece, so I decided on a wee fairy bonnet.

Row 7: k4, p to last 4 sts, k4 Row 8: k every st Repeat until piece measures 5 1/2", BO leaving a 12" thread tail.
