It's been wonderful to write to 'the world' over this past year, I've made some lovely friends and learned so much from them. The cyber-world is a definate connection to people otherwise would of never met!I'm planning some different post for the week leading up to June 5 th (Friday), I want to review the projects I accomplished over this year, set some goals for the upcoming year and may! beee my blog will interview me! (thanks! Tina)! What else, I'm not sure but I'm betting it won't be of the usual postings, crafts/family.
My give-a-way is this adorable set of Ann and Andy, which I made in 1996 and are marked such: Stitch by stitch;
Thread by thread;
I've sewn this together
with lots of love.
Signed: Dawn 1996
Each doll is 18 inches and really...not a play doll, they are more of a display doll. More information can be read here.
And since I'm currently working on a red work project, I decided to whip up this little beauty of a pillow. It's 12' x 12', sashed with complimentary Raggedy material, and flanked with eyelet lace. It's cute! This pillow would be a great eye catcher in any home, who wouldn't love Ann and Andy dancing together on their couch or bed!?
Handwritten signature and date, in lower right corner, on back of pillow.

Good luck to all the participants...(love the pillow) Hugs, Kathleen

WOW!!!! A year already. Where does the time go. Those are really a great prize for anyone and funny as when I was reading about it, I was thinking that I had never seen a family member excempt like on sweeps.
whoops, where did that c come from? .... exempt
Congrats! That is so very exciting. Best wishes to whoever wins your give-a-way! :-)
Dawn, Has it been a year already? Dang, time does fly when you are having fun doesnt it? I have enjoyed your blog from the beginning; it brings back so many memories from my serious crafting days and other fond memories of my childhood as well.
You may exempt me from the contest as well. I have a few dolls I need to give away at some point as I have no children to pass them along to. My nieces are not into doll’s and the great-niece well, lets just say they would not appreciate them as they should be. Plus, we are trying to downsize where the collectables are concerned. Gee, what do I keep and what to part with when the day comes to downsize… arggggg that day will be a tough one but you cannot take it with you when you die and I would rather things be where needed by then…. Sigh, how did your one year blogging date turn into me dying? LOL, who knows how my minds works at times. Duh….
By the way, love the Ann, Andy and pillow too. Someone will be a lucky winner to get those treasures…
Congrats on one year a bit early!!!

Adorable Raggedies, Dawn, and what a whopper of a give-away for your one year "blogiversary"! It takes real commitment to maintain a blog (hence the reason I haven't started one as yet!) so I appreciate not only your doll-making talents but your blogging as well. I'd love to include your treasured Raggedies as part of my family, should I be the lucky winner!

Great Job Dawn!!!! Congratulations! You are an inspiration to us all!
Congrats Dawn on a year of posting. You make beautiful crafts and have such great ideas. I'm thinking your entire family has been blessed with lots of talent. And, thank you -I would've never found Etsy without you:) My lil bundle has three sweaters and two adorable afghan blankets from there:) I love homemade baby stuff and they have great items on that site. Ciao!
Hey Anonymous, Good to see you here!!! You must have clicked on the BlogAnniversayr sign on Tina's blog. Glad you found Esty and got good stuff for the little bundle. We do have a lotta stuff poping out now but the lilacs are close to going by. I just filled 4 vases up with them tonight and it might be the last I had to look hard and pull some branches down from the top to get them without some brown on them. Darn it, they just do not last long enough. :<( My Lupines are just coming out and look really great. Was hoping they would be out before the lilacs went by as 1 year they were together and what a stunning vase full they made.
Congrats! These are too cute.
