Here they are in a super cute pouch that she made me! I have already had some fights with my daughter for it. Let me preface this by saying that she is 4 years old (which you probably already knew) and when she saw the inside of the pouch:
she asked if it was hers.
"No, this is mine..." I said as I started looking through patterns.
She looked at me like I was completely crazy, "but there are butterflies inside it..."
"Yeah, I love butterflies"
<short pause>
"But you're a dolt" which I immediately took offense from, until I realized she meant "an adult"
"What? Can adults not like butterflies?"
"No, because you're already growed and you can't turn into one..."
*le sigh* oh how I wish I could think like a four-year-old. Anyways! Here is the loot!
This is the one I decided to keep:
Seriously, view 4 melts my heart a little bit! It looks like little petals on the neckline...I will definitely be making this up really soon.
I also took some closeups of the other patterns for your viewing pleasure!
So, I feel pretty guilty that it took me forever and a day to get these up, so of course I took a look through my newly acquired vintage stash (more on that later), and found just a couple more patterns to add to the loot ;)
Sorry there are so many pictures! Hopefully everyone can see everything! If you want, you can go to my flickr account and check out the pictures there. I think if you click on the pictures, it will take you there.
So, I am now officially announcing the start of the giveaway! The only requirement to enter is that you have to have your own blog. You keep one pattern and then hold a giveaway on your blog and pass the rest along! I am so happy that Karen set this up and it really is a lot of fun! The giveaway will close on September 28th at noon (PST) and the winner will be announced that day. So leave a comment (making sure I have a way to get a hold of you)!
HI Michelle - I am so glad you posted this ...I was beginning to wonder if I put the wrong address on the envelope. I love that you added new patterns (fabulous patterns I must say!). This is going to go on forever! I'm not interested in being added to the list of possible winners, but I did want to say how great an experience this contest is and wish everyone luck!
