And the winner is.......

Before we start I would like to appoligise. I'm am sorry. I said I would be using the random number generator but couldn't figure out how to get it to work properly. Yes I am quite hopeless at all this stuff.
Zoe and I decided to go "Old School" and put everyone's name in a hat.
All 274 entries printed out onto paper. No sorry 273, Zoe fessed up that her and Nanny commented as Pa because she wanted to win the bag and she thought I was giving away her copy of Felties. Once I had explained to her that it wouldn't be right for me to let her win and that I was not giving away her copy of the book (I bought two as I had this giveaway in mind) She was happy and was also happy to draw the winning name.

Drum roll please..................... And the winner is:

Congratulations Liz!

I am so excited for you and I hope that you are excited too!

I really hope that you get a lot of use out of the bag and also we'd love to see what you make out of the book as well. I will be sending later in the week once I have finished a few little things off.

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!!!!

Hi Lovely people. This is the first time I have given something away and the first time I have participated in SewMamaSew's giveaway day. So in normal Melmakespretty style, I couldn't find the pattern book until 10 pm last night when in a stroke of sheer luck.... I found it on my book shelf... hmmmm...... anyhoo. I am busy cutting and fusing and sewing all with the help (?) of my little assistant. Who happens to think my ruler is some sort of spaceship. See that cheeky smile.

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,

Tada!
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
