Still emptying my UFO box

Detail, originally uploaded by indiaeden.

This kimono has sat in my UFO box for such a long time. I whizzed it up on the sewing machine the other day, and now it needs a new home. I should warn you, my stitching on this is not up to my usual standards,but it's certainly serviceable. So if you have a little one you'd like this for just leave me a comment and I'll do a draw for a winner in a weeks time.

Still working through my UFO box

The kimono is made from cotton needlecord in a chocolate brown, and fastens with two little ties, one inside, one outside. The sizing on this is generous and will fit most 12-24 month olds. Looks lovely over a long sleeved t shirt or turtleneck, and with jeans or leggings.

And now for the winners of my last give away:

Using Random.org and some jiggery pokery with a pen and paper, these are the winners:

Green Dress : Ann-Marie Dewhurst
Red Dress : Beth
Bibs: Samantha

If you guys drop me a line at jeanette dot archer at gmail dot com with your addresses, I'll pop these in the post asap.

Don't be shy, say hello!

  9. I'd love to be entered into the draw for this gorgeous kimono please Jeanette. I still cram Violet into the gorgeous pink spotty trousers we got from you when she was small but they are getting a bit tiny for her now and this would be a lovely replacement. xxx

  15. That is beautiful work, Jeanette, and I would be very honored to put it on my littlest daughter.

    I am glad to hear that you found some small comfort in some of the information given at the inquest - knowing that Florence passed away in the comfort and love of your arms must be a great relief.
