I love the postie !

I won this fantastic giveaway at Marydons gorgeous blog Blushing Rose , look at all this fantastic stuff , thanks so much Marydon , I love it all . 

I received my ornament from Jo from Jo inTas

who sent me this gorgeous bird and handmade card . I think Jo and I were meant to be partners in this swap as we both sent each other red and white polka dotted designs . I sent her a Little Party Frock in red and white .You should all have sent your ornaments and most of you have received your ornament from your new friend . There have been the most stunning ornaments posted on your blogs and I am really trying very hard to visit you all and thankyou for joining in this fun swap . If I have missed you so far I will try and get to you .I will be away for the rest of the week (will you miss me ? will you notice I'm gone ?) so if you have any problems would you please contact Robyn over at Daisy Quilts .

My next post will be my 150th !! Seeing how I missed my Blogiversary I might have a little celebration for my 150th post . Clearly I talk a lot so it's just as well I'm going away as you could all probably do with a break .

Mum's the blue one !

I am one of 6 girls in my family and when we were small there was not a great deal of money around but  one of the things we all looked forward to on our birthdays was this pretty card . When it was opened it had 3 little girls holding their parasols one blue girl , one green girl and one yellow girl . Obviously if it was your birthday you got to choose which girl you were and the others could squabble over the rest . My mums favourite colour has always been green and so everyone has been giving her green things for years . Mum recently confided to me like a guilty school girl that her favourite girl was the blue one . I was lucky enough to find one of these cards the other day and put it into a frame for her. I will be seeing my mum and sisters and brothers very soon , I wonder if someone else will want the green or yellow girl .

I think the others will just have to be happy with the stockings I'm making for them all !

Pattern Giveaway ! Now clear as mud !

I sensed a little confusion in some of the comments on my last post .Let me see if I can clear things up for you.

Little Party Frocks are for decoration only .

They will not go over any doll head as they are stitched at the top .

They do look gorgeous hanging off drawer handles or dangling from the edge of picture frames .

Yes little girls do love them but I'm a big girl and I have lots of them around .

They are easily tizzied up further or made in Christmas fabric to hang from your tree .

Barbie butted in so you could see how small the Frocks were , not because I invited her .

I sent a stack of these with a friend to sell at the markets , sold out ! Yay !

Included with the pattern is permission to sell some at markets acknowledging moi as the designer.

So now if you're interested in winning my new pattern Little Party Frocks just leave me a comment .

The winner will be drawn next week when the pattern will also be in my shop .

Come on everyone needs a Little Party Frock !

The party is on and a giveaway too !

The party is on ! I have cupcakes for Joy and caramel slice for Vikki and now you all just need a Little Party Frock . My new pattern Little Party Frock is going to be released at the end of the week and it will be in my shop then . These frocks are so quick and easy to make and are really a lot of fun .

 My daughter had her birthday party last week and I made a heap of these and gave them to the little girls instead of lolly bags , what a hit they were . I know, bad mother using her children for market research .....  Anyway as usual Barbie has been causing problems taking off with all the pretty frocks , they are just her size 7" but the tops are stitched up so they won't go over her head . I'll forgive her afterall she is plastic and can't really understand the term For Decorative Use Only Der !

 If you would like to win a pattern for Little Party Frock just leave a comment , that's it !

 To teach Barbie a lesson while she was mucking around I nicked all her coathangers and one will be included in each pattern .

I'm having a party !

I'm having a party ! You're all invited .

No , no , no not you Barbie you're not invited !

Sorry I'll have to tell you about it later when she's not around !
