It's been a year since Melissa and I started our little blog. It has been, and continues to be, an awesome part of our lives. Who knew turning on the computer each morning could be filled with so much happy anticipation? We've met so many amazing people and have been inspired in countless ways by this creative, nurturing blog community. So thank you for stopping by. And thank you, again and again, for your generous and encouraging comments, each of which we savor and really, really appreciate!
We'd like to mark our small anniversary by giving away this simple yellow linen shift dress, made to size for the short person in your life (between 18 mo. and 5T). Would you like us to send it to you, packaged up adorably in brown paper? If so, leave a comment, and we'll chose the winner (randomly, of course) on Tuesday.
So again, thank you.

happy blog birthday! I hope I win the giveaway, my baby's also turning one in a month.
Oh definitely count me in for the giveaway! Such a lovely colour and simple style.
I'm fairly new to your blog so forgive me if this is answered elsewhere but do you sell the patterns for some of the clothes you make? I notice in your archives that sometimes you mention a commercial pattern but often not and some of your little girls' dresses are so lovely! I adore the simplicity of style - particularly in the shift dresses you do, the above being a perfect example.
Wow, I love the shirt! Congrats on the one year anniversary! I just started my blog on May 1, after reading so many wonderful other people's blogs. I have big plans to share on the blog as I have a box full of clothing patterns and a shelf full of fabric awaiting my time at the sewing machine!
I really love reading your blog. It is truly inspiring. And I love that sweet, little dress!
Yes! Please count me in! It's lovely.
The clothes you make are gorgeous. I love stopping in to see what's new on your blog.
Happy blogiversary! I'd love to see that linen dress on my 18 month old this summer!
I have an adorable little princess who woudl make a fine new owner of that gorgeous dress!
