Ellie Inspired

What I was up to yesterday...

It's a birthday gift for my 2 yr old niece this weekend.  I had thought about writing up the pattern for the cloche and the shrug (did you notice the cute little bling of crystals and pearls in the flower?) but I think that would have qualified me as certifiably insane to add that to my pattern list for the fall!!

So, if you would like a cute hat that is handmade, I would love to show you my cousins' gorgeous creations and their etsy store:

Now, I have thought about the Giveaway and here is what I've come up with.  I think it's pretty good!

A custom hand-smocked Ellie Inspired original dress in your choice of pattern and size:

and in your choice of fabric from Fine Stitchery:

AND

a $20.00 gift certificate to Misslis' Boutique for a new fall hat or headband!!

Total Value:  $170.00!!!!!

If I get an overwhelming response like I did last time I did a giveaway, I'll even throw in a matching doll dress for an 18" doll!!

Wouldn't this make a great Christmas gift for your daughter or granddaughter too?

Here's what you have to do to enter:

1.  You have to be a follower of my blog.

2.  Leave me a message letting me know which of my patterns are your favorite (can be existing patterns or new ones coming out.)

3.  Optional: Your name will be entered into the drawing a second time if you blog about the giveaway and send me the link.

The Giveaway will end two weeks from today at midnight (September 17th) and I will start on the dress (or dresses!) as soon as I get back from SAGA convention.

Now, remember to "block sender" in your email so that you don't get all the notifications of messages left after you!

Good luck!
