Shabby Apple dress giveaway!

***Giveaway is now closed***

While I’m plugging away at a few projects I thought now would be the perfect time for a giveaway! With Valentines day right around the corner who doesn’t need a great new dress?

Shabby Apple has a great site filled with amazing women’s dresses, little girls dresses, even maternity dresses and swimwear.  I love the vintage inspired styles, especially this navy blue Champs Elysees dress and the super cute scalloped Red Fox dress. I would go into the woods more often if I had a dress like that.


The one thing I’m always on the look out for though is a really cute little black dress. I found this black Boogie Woogie dress and loved it.

Today I get to give away this dress to one of you lucky ducks! Here's what you have to do to get your hands on your very own Shabby Apple Boogie Woogie dress.
To Enter- Go now to Shabby Apple on Facebook and "like" them, then come back and leave a comment on this post letting me know you did.  If you don’t want to do the Facebook thing, no prob. Just head over to Shabby Apple and tell me what dress is your favorite. That's it!  One entry comment per person please.
The Nitty Gritty- The giveaway will go until Thursday Feb. 2nd and the winner will be announced on Friday the 3rd.  You must have a US shipping address and there will be no exchanges for the winning dress.

Have a fantastic weekend and good luck!

Must.Keep.Folding

Like so many people I started out the new year with a couple of goals. Not really resolutions because I looked it up and it’s a firm decision to do or not to do something. I don’t like deciding anything, especially firmly. I want to focus my efforts on a few things. Slowly. I want each day to be better than the day before. I won’t accomplish anything if I bite off an entire year at a time firmly. One little thing at a time one day at a time. I can do that!

There’s just one hang up. I’m     s   l   o   w    .  It takes me forever to do anything.

I thought to start I should clean up my sewing space and organize my fabrics. Fabrics are happy and it’s something I like to do so I thought it would be a great place to start. Get a little organized so it doesn’t look like an chimp sews in my room you know. 

I love the way fabric shelves look when they are stacked like mini bolts and you can see everything. I thought I would give it a go.

NO ONE told me how painful it is. It’s brutal. They look nice, especially when they are tipped the right way in my shelves but holy guacamole. This took me a week of folding while Jakey was napping. This is one tote of fabric- I have more taking over my living room.

I won’t fold it all. I can’t fold it all. I will die. If I wasn’t such a control freak I would pay my kids to fold it for me. The only thing that makes this somewhat bearable is that it beats the heck out of folding laundry. I think I need to make some dresses this weekend before I pull out another tote just so I won’t have to fold any more than I have to. If you see a rash of dresses cropping up around here you’ll know why ;o).

I’m going to wrap up in a blanket tonight, sip some hot chocolate, and fold until I hate me some fabric designers and super duper sales and vow to never buy a single yard again. Have a great Thursday!
