So here is a peek of what I'm giving away. A SUPER CUTE gingham and matryoshka bag full of some lovely surprises! Here is where we are up to...
So check back later as I'll have the finished picture up, but in the mean time Koby and I will be super busy finishing off the masterpiece which could hopefully be YOUR bag!
But to start things off, leave a comment and say Hi and we will put you in the draw to win this lovely pretty bag and it's surprise contents. I am willing to ship anywhere in the world so where ever you are get commenting! I will close comments Sunday 6th of December and post the winner shortly after. (thanks to the help of the random number generator)
EDIT:
I finished the bag! Finally, after a two hour game of hide and go seek where I hid the straps mummy.
Here it is.....drumroll please,
What do you think? Cute eh?
I love how it turned out and think this pattern will be in high rotation as of NOW. It is from a pattern book I blogged about in Blogtober, called cute cotton and linen bags for adults. (Thanks for the interpretation Myra)
Sorry about the bad lighting, I am updating this at night, now that the kids are finally asleep. Yay.
Here is a picture of the inside:
Wait a second. How did that get in there?
A copy of the oh so very cute Felties book by Nelly Pailloux.
Sweet! Lucky you! How cute would these look as ornaments on your christmas tree?
The matryoshka is adorable!
Oh dear, I did say a bag full of surprises and I've ruined one of the surprises.... Ooops.
I must say I am overwhelmed by all your kind comments and am so gald that you stopped by, I really wasn't expecting this much traffic to my little blog. So thank you so much and for those of you who have Blogs I will be coming to visit and say hi over the next few weeks. What a great way to meet more people out there in Blog land.
Good luck! and thanks for stopping by.
Bless,
Mel
