I'VE WON THE MOST WONDERFUL PRIZES...

...by now you all know that I just love WINNING - but, then again, who doesn't!  When it comes to give-a-way contests, one can't win unless one enters - right?  I do enter quite a few give-a-way contests in the sewing blogsphere arena, and every now and then I do win!  So I thought I'd do a post to show off my winnings, as well as give PUBLIC "THANK YOUs" to the bloggers who sponsored the give-a-ways.

• First up, I won two yards of this

 the most wonderful feeling interfacing ever from Pam Erny of Off the Cuff and Fashion Sewing Supply.  Pro-sheer Elegance Fusible and Pro-Woven Shirt Crisp Fusible.  I haven't even used it yet, but I do think I'm already hooked!  I can't wait to use the pro-woven in my next jacket. 

Secondly,

A wonderful retro blouse pattern from Rebecca of Ugly Cute Designs - our up and coming Fashion Designer.  I don't have very many, but I love retro blouse patterns.  I think this one has numerous possibilities and is just the right little wardrobe enhancer.

And Next,

This book has lots of ideas on growing ones blog and was offered by What's Up Cupcake (she has a beautiful blog too - you should check it out).


And this,

The prettiest hand crafted note cards from Smoking Needles - and I already know who I'm going to mail them off to.


And last but not least,

I had picked this from the shelf at the book store several times only to decide that the time to buy it just wasn't right, and then saw that it was offered by Angie at Quality Time.  There are several designs included in this book that I know I'll try very soon.


I still have visions of winning:

• a state of the art sewing machine that I could never afford to buy myself
• a new car
• a new, fully furnished home - located near a body of water
• an all expense paid trip to exotic places
• an I Pad2
• and of course, a million or so tax-free dollars.

Don't laugh - it could happen...
