I won!

I entered a contest on a blog that I read pretty faithfully. I have entered contests before and never won, so I kind of figured this would be the same. but Guess what! I won! and this really does have to do with sewing. the blog is run by Beccie and called sew retro rose, I came across it a while ago and thought oh wow this is a really cool blog. she makes the greatest clothes. and she seems to be able to make just about anything. one of my favorites being one she made from a blue rose fabric on valentines day Beccie ran a contest where the rules were to write something you love about yourself. it was make people stop and think about something positive rather then the negative thoughts we as humans especially women put ourselves through. the winner was chosen at random by her adorable puppy dog Stella. the prize being a pattern and fabric to make the pattern. so cool.


so here is what I wrote about myself, its kind of a pathetic little thing, but its what I could come with at the time. and all of its still true.

“I love that I still giddy over a snow storm. I seriously turn into a little kid when it comes to snow. I love the fact my hair never tangles. I love that I can sew and its something I am actually good at.”

another thing that makes this really cool is the pattern is a vintage pattern, and since I will have a plan and a goal for the both the pattern and the fabric I am going to go ahead and put this towards my decade project. which is something I did promise myself I would do this year. once I receive it though it might take me while, since there is going to be some math involved in making the pattern my size, and really I want this to turn out perfect, because what better way to enjoy a prize then to make it the best it can be.

hopefully she got the email I sent her yesterday, cause I’m really excited about winning. ☺
