Winner

Well, all good things must come to an end, even the blessed month of November. And with that comes the end of the contest I'm so THANKFUL (I finally finished that). I must admit, I'm a little disappointed in myself because I got hung up on a few project 'snags' and didn't accomplish nearly as much as I had hoped. But that also might be due to a terrible obsession habit I have of making lists longer than are even humanly possible to complete. Oh well. I did get a lot done even if I didn't get all of it done.
I was also sorta sad that only 4 people actually entered the contest. Maybe I shouldn't write that publically on my blog, but it's true. So, instead of being sad about it, I'd love your feedback so that in the future I can do better. What do you think I could have done different to stimulate more participation? In hind sight I think one thing I could have done different is to just say leave a comment with a link showing a project you got done. Maybe people think it is too difficult to email? I did that hoping to make things a little more personal...but perhaps it was too much effort? Too weird for strangers? If you have any ideas I would love to hear them--Leave a comment.
Okay, enough said.

I numbered the enteries as from 1 to 4. Number 1 (Melissa), 2 (Katie), 3(Nola), 4(Abby).

On to the winner....

NOLA

Congratulations! I'll email you to get measurements and so you can choose your fabric etc.

Abby

Abby of Sew Much Ado has been working VERY hard to get these adorable Ruby Lou dolls done! She's in the process of making a pdf pattern so you can download it and make a sweet little doll yourself. They are so cute, what little girl wouldn't want one? Here's what Abby has been up to this month and I bet she is so thankful to finally finish that! Good job Abby!

Nola

Good job to Nola who finally finished these cute little leg warmers for her daughter. She is busy trying to move, but squeezed in the time to make these just in time for the cold winter (and for the I'm so Thankful I finally finished that contest)! They turned out so cute! Good job!

Katie

Congratulations to Katie from notes from a very red kitchen who finally finished a darling little stocking for her daughter! She even has a tutorial for the stocking here. She is an incredible writer, crafter, seamstress, and a great wife and mother (and teacher, at least I think so even if she says she's not) Good job Katie!

Dresser before and after

Before.

A free dresser from freecycle needing a little love.

I started this dresser on November 1st. So you might be wondering why it has taken me 3 weeks to paint it?! It didn't. I painted it in one day, but then there were complications. I seriously think it is impossible to do a 'simple one-hour project', at least for me. Oh well. It's done and my boys' room is finally put together (it's only been a little over a year since we moved in=)). All I can say is, I'm so thankful I finally finished that!
