A Little Dragon :)

Hello All!  Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on this week.  It is a birthday gift for my brother John, who REALLY loves dragons. ;)  



So far I have the whole body completed.  Now I am working on the wings, and lastly I will fasten on the ears.  He's pretty cute, isn't he?

You can download the pattern here for free, in case you were wondering! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Lipstick, anyone?



The ladies over at Brentwood Lane are hosting a fun giveaway this week for a tube of Tangee Lipstick!  You should check it out here


Lipstick giveaways are not the only thing that makes the Brentwood Lane blog awesome.  The blog is written by three sisters who love vintage and write about their sewing projects and fashion inspiration.  I always enjoy reading their posts, and I have a feeling you would too. ;)

Have a lovely afternoon!

A Quilt for Evvie


Between being tired and sore and busy and losing my camera a few times, I haven't gotten around to blogging much this fall!  Ah well.  When I started this blog, I promised myself that I would blog as I liked, and never feel guilty about a lapse in writing.  ;)  

I am now entering the last month of my pregnancy.  Whew, that is so hard to believe!  And let me tell you, the weeks seem to be going by very slowly, due in part, I think, to the fact that I have been extremely uncomfortable lately.  This baby is getting bigger by the day, but I am not necessarily growing that much, so she is just shoved up under my ribs.  Ouch!  They keep telling me I'll forget all about it once she is here, though.  I'm sure I will.  I just wish she was coming a little bit sooner!

Anywho, I wanted to share a project I have been working on lately: a quilt for the baby.  I downloaded this amazing free nursery rhyme quilt embroidery pattern from www.patternbee.com.  There are twelve embroidered squares, which I will surround with scrap cottons from my stash.  I think it is going to be pretty adorable!  By the way, in case you didn't know, patternbee.com has a bunch of wonderful free vintage embroidery patterns available for download. :D


I have finished three squares as of this morning.  Nine more to go!  I think I will work on Little Red Riding Hood next...



I hope you are all enjoying this lovely November!
