The Last of 'Maids in Colour' and a Giveaway Announcement

Elaine, my superstitcher has finished my final Maid in Colour; part of the new Pretty Maids in a row series.

This one was a right pain the ass: so demanding and she continued to be demanding right up to the photograph stage.

You may have noticed my last few photos of projects which have been stitched by Elaine (lany-blue) have improved considerably.

That is because Elaine is doing it for me!  Isn't she a superstar? 
Little Miss Primrose still isn't as she is seen in real life but it is gray and miserable here in Ireland...the lighting is terrible.  I think Elaine did an amazing job considering.

So here is the final Little Miss Maid in Colour.

Perfect in Primrose.


Frills, puffy sleeves and a parosol. What more does a wee maid need in her summer garden?

Wow..I have really enjoyed doing these (with Elaine's help).  I have two more Christmas designs to get out and then it will be time to released ' A Maid for All Seasons' which I am hoping will be a collaboration between myself and a certain lady who dyes threads.. but shhhhhh....nothing set in stone yet but the designs will be lovely.  I am so excited about them.  They are of course seasonal ladies and I am so looking forwards to Spring!

Now, did someone mention giveaway?

Oh yes, that would be me!

Well firstly, I am hosting a draw over on my Facebook page for a hand made stocking.  Pop over and like the page to be entered.

And then (drum roll please): every single year since I have been blogging I have hosted a giveaway for Christmas..this year will be no exception and boy will it be a doozy (I hope).

That one will be announced a little nearer the time...when I have decided what to put in it lol.

I dunno: charts? Fabric? Threads?  What would you guys like in a Christmas giveaway?  Perhaps you can give me some inspiration!

Have a fantastic week everyone and thank you for reading my blog.  I don't reply to your comments through email cus I haven't worked out how but I do read them and appreciate them just the same!
