Giveaway Winner! & sneak peek!

Thanks everyone for entering my giveaway last week! I'm excited to go check out all your favorite patterns!! :)

I have good news! When I switched my comments back to Google+ comments, they ALL showed up together! Yeah! :) So none were lost. (Mike over at The Amateuar Quilter, actually posted about the Google+ situation HERE if you want to read how it works. I guess it's not as bad as I supposed, just new, and like all things, takes time to figure it out... Thanks Mike!)


and the winner is...

Congrats Cheryl! I sent you an email. :)

Thanks everyone else for stopping by and entering!

In other news, I have a two patterns I put together before the baby came. I'm hoping to get one listed today! It is listed on Craftsy HERE. I love it! :) So stay tuned! I am going to be sharing it for free for the first 24 hours or something, then I'll list it for sale. I will also be doing another giveaway, since I said I would last week. ;) I'll let you know!!

Simple Star Pattern

coming soon!

Until then, I'm hoping to get out and mow our lawn... and play in the sun! (I bought a crabbie sandbox for the kiddos last week. The sand I ordered won't be in until tomorrow, and with the warm weather today, I'm really looking forward to using it as a pool with the wee ones. I think they'll love it!!) :) Hooray for summer! (ok spring, but warm spring!)

Do you have any fun plans this week??

Giveaway Oops!

A friend notified me yesterday that in order to leave a comment on this giveaway you had to sign up for Google+. I had recently linked my google+ comments to my blog comments, and I didn't know that meant one could no longer just leave a normal comment. Bad timing to figure that out. Sorry for anyone that came by to enter and was annoyed/turned off by that. I changed it back so the comments are normal now. BUT when I just looked at it, all the previous comments are no longer there. I'm not sure if I'll be able to see them if I switch it back, but I think I'll wait until the giveaway is closed to find out... I can save all the comments that are there now, just in case they then disappear.

So annoying.

I'm sorry if I can't get it to work. If you follow my blog, and entered before I fixed the comments, feel free to come enter again. (again, so annoying. I'm so sorry!!) Otherwise I'll do my best to figure it out. Super lame.  :( Maybe I'll do another giveaway next week to make up for it! :)

Giveaway Day!!

 This giveaway is now closed. Thank you everyone who participated! :)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I LOVE Sew, Mama, Sew!'s Giveaway Day! (click the link to read all about it) It's so much fun meeting so many new people, and finding awesome blogs! Basically the coolest online party ever! ;)

If you are new to my blog, I hope you'll stay a while! :) I'm so happy you've stopped by! It's been pretty quiet around here as baby number 4 just joined our family 2 weeks ago. I'm having too much fun with him, and haven't wanted to much of anything else. ;)

Now onto the giveaway!
Today I'm going to offer up a pattern bundle.

Pick any THREE patterns! 

You can view all the available patterns in my Craftsy Store HERE.  If you win, just let me know which ones you want and I'll email them to you. :) (all patterns are PDF's, and are for PERSONAL USE ONLY. Please no sharing either.)

I'll leave the giveaway open until May 10th at 7pm Central time.

How to enter:

only one required

• Leave a comment telling me your favorite pattern of all time (a quilt pattern, a quilt block pattern, clothing pattern, bag pattern, a favorite book with patterns, whatever. It doesn't even have to be a sewing pattern.)
•  Follow my blog somehow (google+, by email, twitter, etc.) leave a comment telling me how

Make sure to leave your email or a way to contact you if you win. If I can't get a hold of you, I'll pick someone else.

Good luck! :)

ps. I probably won't respond to the entries, 

but I'm sure excited to read them all!! :)

 This giveaway is now closed. Thank you everyone who participated! :)

Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day, and a BABY!

It has been dead around here on the blog lately, but I still can't miss out on Sew, Mama, Sew's giveaway day! Starts Monday May 6th. I'm planning on offering up some patterns, maybe some fabric, and if I find anything else, well, we'll see. :) be sure to come stop by. And check out SewMamaSew.com for more details.

Otherwise, the little Mr has arrived! He was sick for a bit and spent some time in the NICU, but now he's home with us and we all love him so much!! I'll share more soon, hopefully. ;) mostly I just hold him all day until the Mr comes home and steals him away from me. :)
