Look what I found! 

I found this blooming shrub when we were walking in the park Saturday, and actually I just saved the picture for this occasion, because I thought it would fit the purpose wonderfully!

So I wrote all the names down on little pieces of paper, and had my stay-at-home God of Fortune (if you need that elaborated a little bit – go here) draw the winners:

Winner of the Flower-Bib:       ♥ Julie ♥

Winner of the Elephant-Bib:     ♥ Ria ♥

You two can start looking for an email from me - congrats to both of you! :)

To the rest of you: I’m sorry I didn’t make more bibs to put out here, but Frida needs quite a few! Honestly, I wish I could ship one off to every one of you! I really appreciate you playing along, though, and I hope you will stop by in the future!

Valentine’s Treat for You

I made a little something for you…

Bibs for Valentines 

I’m giving these away, so I really hope you like them – and then I just hope you have a little one that needs one of them. The bibs have cotton on the front, and rubber coated terry cloth on the back side – with the terry cloth facing outwards.

All you have to do to get one of these is leave me a comment. Please let me know if you have a preference – I think the flower bib is pretty girly (don’t believe anyone would argue with that), while the elephant bib is good for boys as well as girls – depending on what you like. Well – see for yourself!

Flower bib for Valentines 

Elephant bib for Valentines 

You can enter until Monday the 16th at 9:00 p.m. GMT+1, and there will be two winners – one for each bib.

And finally – please spread the word! Isn’t sharing what Valentine’s is all about?  :)

Kept you waiting a bit…

…guess I never fully understood to what extent December in combination with new job would keep me busy.

However – winners of the last two Onion patterns are:

Pattern #2026 – Laurie Miller 

Pattern #20038 - Karin

Congratulations to both of you -and to everyone else: Remember that the Onion-patterns are available for worldwide delivery with their English translations in Maria’s shop at ShopOnion.com.

Guys – pretty soon, I’ll let you know a bit about what life’s like in the yellow house by the station! :)

Now that the first two patterns are on their way to their rightful owners, once again you have a chance to win one of the following Onion-patterns donated by Maria at ShopOnion.com. The patterns include English translations of the sewing instructions – but of course, you are perfectly welcome to join in, whether you will be using Danish or English intructions.

Onion patterns 

The first pattern is from the Onion collection for women. It’s pattern #2026 – A very nice knit tunic/dress with neckline edge. Sizes XS – XL. There is an example of it here, sewn with Onion’s own fabric.

Second pattern is Onion Kids Wear #20038 – Comfy and cute wellness set, sizes approximately 2-8 years.

So guys – leave your comment to enter the give-away! I will be drawing two winners again – one for each pattern – if only one of the patterns is relevant to you, please let me know in your comment, and I will enter you in that draw only.

Friday 12th at 23:00 p.m. GMT+1 is when you can start checking for that winner’s e-mail!

And the winners are…

So alright – I’ll admit, I have been busy. With December 1st coming up, I’ve had my hands full – haven’t you?

Evening view 

 Getting ready for December 1st in this house means doing a lot of things. I have been making an Advent wreath (well actually, that was for today), a decoration for the Advent candle, a gift calendar for Ronja – Frida isn’t quite old enough for one with 24 gifts yet, so I made her an Advent calendar, with a small gift for each Advent Sunday. Also this weekend, Ronja attended a princess gala birthday party at a friend’s house – and I accidentally promised her a new dress for the big event. That ate up a few afternoons…

And of course, what’s also special about this year’s December 1st is that it’ll be my first day at work since Frida was born. Still trying to wrap my mind around that one – and I’m pretty sure that Mads feels the same way! He’s going to be taking care of Frida at home for the rest of the time until her surgery to close her cleft palate, which will take place when she’s around 1½ years old. We don’t have the excact date, but he’ll be SAHD (Stay At Home Dad) for probably 5-6 months. Exciting!

However, I have been stretching your patience – I know. Sorry about that! Since Ronja is in bed by now, Mads just played the role of the goddess of fortune – and a very pretty one too, if I may say - and he drew the following lucky names out of the hat:

Winner of the pattern #10015 is Tara at Learning from Chavah

Winner of the pattern #20039 is Jenny

Congratulations to the winners! And to those of you that didn’t win, thank you so much for all your sweet comments – please come back for the next give-away. I’m putting the next two patterns (a kids pattern and an adult pattern) up within the next week. I’ll also need to tell you about all the other stuff – the princess dress, the Advent calendar, the Advent wreath, Ronja’s recent snow experience, our trip to Gisselfeld Christmas market, Frida’s recent breakthrough – gee, I’m behind!

Guys – now December 1st is not coming up anymore – it’s here. I’m off to find my bed!  ;)

Onion patterns Give-Away

Folks, here we go! As I told you, Maria from ShopOnion.com has donated four Onion sewing patterns including English translations of the sewing instructions to you, my dear readers! Isn’t that just sweet of her? We’re starting with the first two.

Onion sewing patterns 

These patterns are in Danish, and to avoid any misunderstanding, Danes are just as welcome to this draw as those of you who are English-speaking. However, they do come with translated sewing instructions, which I will mail to you if you win. As they are quite new, I haven’t yet been able to try them out, but I will say that Onion patterns are great for beginners as well as experienced seamstresses. They are quite simple in the layout (nothing Ottobre-ish about the pattern sheets), have easy-to-follow instructions, and are perfect for embellishments of your own choice.

Pattern #10015 includes dress, tights, and jump suit in sizes 6 – 18 months. This pattern is directly cutable – no need for tracing!

Pattern #20039 includes tunic, dress, and berber pants in sizes 2-8 years.

All you have to do to be in the draw is leave a comment on this post. There will be two winners – one for each pattern. In order for the patterns to find the right owners, please let me know if only one of the patterns is relevant to you – then I will only include you in that draw. :)

The give-away ends Friday 28th at 23:00 p.m. GMT+1 – I will contact you by e-mail, if you are the lucky winner. Probably not right away, though, as I will be attending an End of the Year Party at that time.  ;)
