I certainly have neglected my blog for a while now. Sorry for that! I
am attempting to get caught up and share with you all the things that
have been going on recently but these things take time...apparently! I
blame Instagram!! And the full moon in September!
- Thank you to Lisa of In the Boon Docks and Fat Quarter Shop
for sending me an awesome "Sew What" pink t-shirt and 4 mini charm
packs from a giveaway on Lisa's blog!! I WILL eventually get a picture
of me in the t-shirt - I promise!
- Carrie of believemagic
sent me a wonderful mini quilt called Disco Girl. I won this in her
Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day/Week along with a Creative Girl Art Quilt and
pattern pack.

- Rachel of mammafairy sews,
a fellow HipBee member, threw me a lifeline when I posted about my
sewing difficulties at making a Burda tunic. She offered to save the
day and finish my tunic for me! I had truly abandoned it thinking it
would be the most expensive sewing fail to date, so I took up her offer
in a flash! Rachel finished it beautifully - and returned it to me
with a pincushion and some needles too! So very kind - thank you
Rachel. [picture will be added soon]
- Lucy of Charm About You drew my name for a £100 gift certificate to Wayfair several months ago Thank you so much! I managed to spend my certificate on this realllly cool storage thing!

- Thank you Heather and Megan of Quilt Story
for the three baby patterns sent to me in September - I am going to be
very busy once I get my sew-jo back, sewing all these amazing things!
- In the A Lovely Year of Finishes July, I won a Clover & Violet Lucy Hobo purse pattern - thank you so much!
- July was a lucky month because I also won the Celestial Star pattern. I watched Diane's sew-along with interest and plan to make my own Celestial Star one day!
So,
here we are in 2015 and I am just starting to get a bit of a sewing
done. Feels really good to be making a mess again! I will catch up
with what I accomplished October, November and December SOON!
Happy New Year!

I love how honest you are... I am with you on all of this..
ReplyDeleteHappy and healthy New Year, Amy! Welcome back to the blogiverse (although I have been absent since july myself... hmmm. I knew I 'd skip blogging if I started instagramming). But I try to be better this year :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely haul, I especially like the quilt kit for the disco girl, such a good idea to create something original with a helping hand.
