New Look, New Domain.

I am trying really hard to 'tweak' this blog look...until I take some web design class I doubt it will ever look just the way I want it.  BUT this will do.  ALSO be sure to add Cinderella Sews to your blog list - we have a new address  http://www.cinderellasews.com/ !! 

Just for fun, here is a holiday craft I found online that I can't wait to try!  Maybe you can enjoy it too.  Check it out HERE.

Free Patterns

I frequent the site How About Orange and these are some of the free patterns she has listed under her DIY link.  It takes FOREVER to browse through all of them.  But here are some of my favorites from her site, as well as a couple of my own.

Receiving Blanket Giveaway

Like I mentioned on my personal blog...I have blankets coming out of my ears! So to start off right, I decided to give away a boy AND a girl receiving blanket. Just leave a comment stating which one you want (there will be two winners, one per blanket). Each blanket is about 35" square, not huge...but my little Noah has 4 of these gems and still uses them constantly. To be fair, and remain objective, I have decided to have my mom choose the winners for the first few giveaways.

So leave a comment if you want to win! We will decide the winners on

Sunday November 1st...so don't miss out!

PS. Remember to keep in mind that I am not a professional, nor do I claim to be :)
