AND THE WINNER IS...

Well after a bit of fussing around in excel cause I don't know how to make blogger number my comments, I managed to transfer all the comments over and number them and random org has generated the following winners of my "Sew Mamma Sew" giveaway.

In first place: Luke & Pamela
from Michigan in the USA. Also a bit exciting.

In second place: Junebug


Pamela will get to choose her large and small pendants first then Junebug will get a go.

That was so much fun. I really appreciate all the wonderful comments that I have received during the giveaway and hope that some of you will stop by to visit again sometime.

Also her is a pic of a quilt that i have nearly finished for my cousins 21st birthday. He is an Essendon fan (Australian football) and is turning 21. The back will have the black with a red sash like their uniforms.

Finished Project for May

I didn't think I would get anything done this month but Ta Daaaah!!!
Here is my creation.
A "Mei Tai" for me to carry Jess in.


I found a heap of different websites that give patterns and instructions and I just fused a couple together and went for it, I put a pleat in the bottom cause I felt that it was too wide for little Jesss' hips and now it is perfect. The fabric is a FQ that I got on Ebay and the inside is a lovely Jade green with the Hot Pink straps.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT MY GIVEAWAY!!!
I still have one open to Australian Residents a couple of posts below this one.

2 Months already!!!

Just a little post about our prescious little girl. On 17 May (tomorrow for us) she will be 2 months old already. My how time flies.

Here she is on the very special quilt made by my lovely internet quilting friends. I am going to try and remember to do this every month for at least the first year, I have seen it done by other people and it really gives you perspective on how much they grow in such a short period. I didn't do it with Sam as I didn't know about it and I only just made him his first quilt when he went in to his "Big Bed" but here he is with Jess today.
By the way, Jess is wearing the cutest little outfit knitted for her by my very clever step-mum. There is a cute little pair of yellow booties and pants and a little cardi in yellows, blues and purples. Everyone commented at football today and she was toasty warm too.
Don't forget about the giveaway that I am participating in and the Pay it forward too. Just see the 2 posts below this one for more details.
