2013 Independence Day Contest Entry #4

We have another cute little model for our 4th contest entry. 

This is Stars & Stripes Toddler Sundress pattern.  Now,  Check out how clever Michelle Wulf was...She used the strap pattern from the dress to make her daughter a bracelet, necklace and headband.  The stars pattern is from My Merry Messy Life.
Only a few more days to get your entries in for a chance to win $25 to Etsy, Michaels or Ravelry. 

I will be holding another contest after this one.  Help me decide what theme to use - Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving.  There will for sure be one for christmas, so keep that in mind when you start your next project :)

Auction for Colorado Fire Families

My friend Angela is one of the many who have been impacted by the Colorado Fires. I offered to help her by holding an auction on my Face Book page.  Many other businesses have generously donated and I'm hoping to get as much help for her as possible.  This is what she has to say:  

Colorado has several devastating fires burning and there are many displaced families and families that have lost their homes. The best way I know to help is to have an auction with all monies collected going directly to help the families that fell victims to these fires. We have 6 responding agencies to the fires at present. They are: The American Red Cross, Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado, Discover Goodwill Southern and Western Colorado, Humane Society of Pikes Peak Region, Mercy's Gate, and The Salvation Army. You will be allowed to designate where you want your auction money to go, if there is no choice then the monies will be sent to The American Red Cross and Humane Society of Pikes Peak Region. All records of this action will be made public so everyone will see where the monies are going. Auctionis open now through July 3, 2013. No Bids will be accepted after the end date. All auction items should be paid no later than 10 days after auction closes. Unclaimed auction items will be offered to the next highest bidder. Thank You for your support in our efforts to help the victims of the Colorado Fires. I will be happy to answer any and all question you may have. Please feel free to email me at coloradofireauction@gmail.com. Direct donations can be sent through paypal to the same email address.

Here is a link to the Auction Album

I would love to see this be a huge help for those involved.  If you can, please take a moment to look through the donations and help her out.  If you would be willing to donate something, please let me know.

Thanks for your support

Seeing Stars & Stripes

I am so excited to share with you the photos that I received from Nicole Nelson Photography.  It's always fun to see how others display my items.  I am not at all good at setting things up for photos and am so happy that Nicole is willing to help me out!  She did a fantastic job and it was hard to choose which photos to use to promote my newest design.  I couldn't narrow it down to just one.  Luckily, I use several different sites to sell my patterns, so I used a different one on each site...lol (that's one way of getting around choosing).

Announcing the release of my "Stars & Stripes Infant Sundress"  This pattern is on sale for it's release through the end of the week for $2.99.  Here are the links to the listings: Stars & Stripes pattern on Craftsy Stars & Stripes pattern on Ravelry





The toddler and child sizes for this pattern are being tested now and both should be released by the end of the month.  This was such a fun pattern to do and looks so cute on little babies.  I can't wait to make one for each of my toddlers to wear around.  Welcome to summer my Friends!
