I just got back from a 6 day Sit & Sew tour visiting all the Allbrands stores which started in Louisiana and ended in Texas.  Fabulous trip, but definitely dragging a little today.  I will be sharing details of the week as soon as I organize all the photos.  In short, I met so many wonderful people, ate some amazing food, got over my fear of bridges, I now have official Mardi Gras beads …

In the meantime, I posted this message to facebook and realized not all of you are on facebook, so I thought I would THANK YOU again.

2015BlogAwards_600x2004Saturday was the last day of teaching and I was flying out the next morning.  Super tired, but before crashing I decided to scan my emails and came across one from Craftsy with the title “Are you a blogger award finalist?”.  I clicked on the link and couldn’t believe it!   You nominated my blog to the top 4 Best Sewing Instructor Blog again.  You all are AWESOME!  This means so much to me, thank you, thank you.  I also know it is a little work to nominate a blog at the first stage, you have to fill out a lot of things.  Thanks so much for going through the effort, you inspire me to keep at it 🙂

One More Round of Voting

Now, there is a last round of voting that ends Wednesday at badge 2015midnight.  This vote is quick and easy:

  • Click here to vote:   Scroll down the page to Vote Now! Best Craftsy Sewing Instructor’s Blog and you will see my name.  Vote and then watch the tally live.

Just being in the top 4 is such an honor and knowing it’s because of your effort to nominate me really makes my day and a huge THANK YOU is all I can say!  By the way, while you are scanning the page you might want to check out a few of my friends blogs that also made the top 4 in their category:  Leah Day has a great one for quilting and  Lisa Shaw in Embroidery.

WARDROBE CHALLENGE

stars

The 2014 Wardrobe Challenge was so much fun!  Seeing your outfits on flickr and following your Pinterest boards has been a treat and a quick way to get in the sewing mood, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have.   There have been a few hiccups on my end, so thanks for your patience.  (Note to self:  Never plan anything while I am traveling to teach, tape It’s Sew Easy, or shoot online  classes – just not enough time and brain space )  In fact, I still need to post the list of winners, but I wanted to give you the last challenge.

LAST CHALLENGE

I told you the last challenge would be an easy one.  Take a picture of the clothes in your closet that you have sewn this past year and post it on Flickr before February 15th (the same way you posted the other photos – click here if you need help uploading to flickr).  Even if you only have 1 garment, your photo qualifies you for this last challenge.  Winners will be all random drawings from the entrants, so even if you haven’t participated yet or you feel intimidated by the rock stars who have really used the challenge to fill their closet, let us see what you have made.  Again this is just 1 photo, just like mine.  Good luck and thanks again to all that have participated.

I don’t know if you read my last post about the cooking adventure, 2but many of you gave the best tips for cleaning the pan!  the baking soda worked like a charm and I wrote all the cleaning tips down so I am ready for the next burn.  Well, I am off to edit pictures and explain to Winn how I got my mardi gras beads 🙂

Cheers and one last thank you,

Angela Wolf
