a winner and a WIP
I have the cutest, little, freckled, random number picker you could ever want. He made my job quite easy. "Noah" I said, "pick a number between 0 and 51." and he said, "20." Perfect, thanks. He got back to what he was doing and I got back to what I was doing. Number twenty was ellen! You are the winner of my little bookish giveaway! Send me your address, K? Pictures From Patchwork is yours.
Thank you to all who put their name into the hat! It's so much fun to have you play along. And, if you are feeling a little bummed out because you never win anything---well, I know just how you feel. I NEVER win anything either! :)
The photo above is my work in progress. I'm doing something I rarely do right now, and that is staying up late to make good headway on getting it finished. Time to get off the computer before all this typing puts me to sleep...yawn..no, no yawning! must.keep.sewing.
yawn.
It's not looking hopeful.




Congrats Ellen, you lucky girl! :-)
And I who thought that 20 was MY lucky number. ;-)
I'm getting very curious of your project.
I myself is trying to apply "finish one project before you begin another one". That means to sew about 30 more buntons (or what it's called in english. Banners? Vimples? Whatever...) ;-)
Have the nicest day - or sleep...because I guess that you are seven days "behind" me! ;-) It's 9 am here in Sweden and the beginning of a beautiful sunny day.

I just found your blog today, and I'm completely in love with it. I went back pages and pages and looked all your lovely projects and photography.
I can't wait to see what you show us next...

félicitations to Ellen-winner ! :)
I won once at a blog give-away, which sounded so surprising (I'm usually one of those who never wins) that I had to sit down, and I think I had to say thank you to the webmaster about 4 or 5 times !!!
Now the above picture is beautiful, incl. the shadows laying on the wall... and I can't wait to see the whole project done !
