Softie Bowling and a Giveaway!

Pins
Now that November has begun, it is time to think about Christmas, if you haven’t already.  Wait… Christmas??  Well, yes, if you don’t want to be stressed out for those few weeks in December before the big holiday!
My kids have enough Barbie's and princess dolls and whatnot to last a lifetime, so this year I wanted to get creative on what they got.  I will personally not buy any trinkety toy for them… that is the job for grandmas if they so wish.  I’m just tired if cleaning up every day :)  That is why I was excited to see this softie Bowling Set from my sponsor, Birdiful Stitches. 
Strike
Now that is is all sewn up and ready to play with, I’ve had a little bit of fun :).  The pattern is really straightforward and easy, and requires only a few fat quarters of fabric.  You know me- I can’t stick to a few fat quarters… I need to bust into my stash and do a whole colorful array of fabrics. 
Close-up
Birdiful Stitches has lots of great PDF patterns, clothing included.  I want them all.  If I had a Kindle or Nook or Ipad, you better believe I would have made a few of these already!  What a great gift, for someone who actually has one of those cool toys.
So… want to make Christmas a tad easier?  How about winning 3 Patterns from Birdiful Stitches?  Awesome, right?  I know!!!  One of you is going to be a lucky duck.

So there you have it, 3 chances to win 3 patterns from my super sponsor!  Isn’t Christmastime fun??
