Leighanna has playing Here Comes Peter Cottontail all week, so this song has been stuck in my head.
I know I haven't posted anything is such a long time. So if any of you are still following me, I will try to post more often!
I have been sewing lots of things lately. It tends to keep me out of the refrigerator and help me stay on track of leading a healthier lifestyle. So far about 40 lbs. gone, several more to go!
I got the EXTREME honor of testing a new pattern for YouCanMakeThis dot com.
To show my appreciation of being selected to test this pattern, I am having a give away!
Leave me a comment and you will be entered to win a handmade, super duper, wonderful, exciting, Precious dress from me! This pattern ranges in sizes from 6 mos. to ten years. I will handpick the fabric from my wonderful stash.
This will also let me know if anyone is still reading, and if I should still continue to blog!
What?.... you don't have a daughter? Leave me a comment anyway, and I can make a boys lounge set for you.
I will randomly pick a winner on April 22nd. That will give you two weeks to enter.
If you blog, and mention this, I will give you a second entry!
Anyway, good luck!
Here are a few example of what I have made so far:
The last picture shows my "baby" in her first pair of heels! Thump! That was me falling off my chair!

A giveaway is a perfect idea for getting people back into your blog. With our trip to Disney I have been neglectful too, so I think I might copy you when your giveaway is over.
Leighanna looks beautiful as always and Megan really wants to take her to the beach!
yay, a new update! I always love your work! What amazing talent you have. LOVE the new Carla C pattern.

Hi Tom,
I love seeing the stuff you post on the Disboutique thread. I wish I could do stuff half as well :) Your versions of these precious dresses are almost enough to convince me to go buy the pattern and give it a shot.

Hey Tom! Love seeing all of your new Precious dresses...you said you've made six...have we seen them all? Keep up with your blogging! You had my DH in stitches reading about your fabric shopping escapades! And you were in Columbus! They have one of my favorite restaurants there...La Bamba (it's a college burrito place - they advertise burritos as big as your head) you should try it some time, they're fantastic!
Benita (sahm1000)
I love all the dresses I don't. I bet it takes Leighanna a long time to pick which dress or outfit she wants to wear. They are all so great I could not pick so easily.
Tom, these are gorgeous! I think I need to get this pattern. My little girl spotted these over my shoulder and promptly asked me to make her one. Don't know how you find the time!

So I'm probably too late, but I swear I commented on here back when you posted the contest! You know what I think of your amazing work Tom!
That dress is one of the prettiest creations I've seen with that fabric!! I used to make classic dresses like that for my girls and they never ever go out of fashion! Beautiful girl, beautiful dress!!
