Whimsy Couture Review.....AND My WINNER!!

And the WINNER of my lil' Giveaway is Chantel of My Thoughts and Treasures  !!!! WHOOHOOO Congratulations:)


Today, I am going to review the "Knot Dress"  from Whimsy Couture. First, let me say "I purchased this pattern(on ebay) and Am NOT receiving any form of compensation for this review. This review is entirely My Personal OPINION." Does that sound official, OR what???
Yes, I put that statement together myself.....ARE you proud of me?{{{grin}}}








These dresses are so wonderful to wear over peasant tops and dresses (listed as PEASANT TOPS/DRESSES PATTERN) or over t-shirts. These dresses can also be worn without any tops underneath for Summer! They have knot ties for perfect fit and a straight/plain back. It's a great essential in her wardrobe and perfect for hot days!




(Description by Whimsy Couture )


I LUV this dress! This is why:
MULTIPLE sizes
VARIATIONS
LAYERABILITY (is that a word??)
TOTAL cuteness
SUPER easy!

One of the great things about this pattern is it's MAKER! She offered EXCELLENT 5 star SERVICE with VERY fast shipping. I bought the paper copy on ebay. However, She's got some awesome deals on her Etsy. The dress is available from 6months to size 12 girls.  Whimsy Couture  ALSO gives you the right to SELL on ebay/etsy or locally. AT NO ADDITIONAL cost!!!! HOW Sweet is that????  The tuturial  is easy to follow and loaded with pictures. I simply could not ask for anything more from a pattern!  I am SO coveting(ya know what I mean:)  her other patterns! When you visit her Blog you will also find some great free tutorials.  And  Now for some pics of the Goose.....






































































What can I say...... OH

THAT'S MY GIRL!










So, I would like to say a Big Fat Thank YOU to Whimsy Couture for a Rockin pattern!

And My Proverb of the Day
Proverbs 2:7 He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless.

What does this speak to Me??
There is VICTORY waiting for me. Whether it is on this earth or in heaven, I am assured it IS waiting!
He is my SHIELD. He protects me from Satan and demonic activity, from EVIL.
My walk is BLAMELESS.  No I don't claim to be perfect. I CLAIM the ONE WHO IS! His Blood has covered my sin and selfishness,  my filth and my shame. 
I am humbled with gratitude!!
What do you think?

Happy Friday:)

It's a Curtain Call (Dress)

What do you get when you add........THIS........


















To.... THIS....    ?????

(FREEE curtains from bubba's Lady:)

WElll, at my house, it ends up a little like THIS.......


a dress for  MISS DIRTY FACE!
Why is it that I NEVER notice that until it's way tooo late??? Unfortunately for me she IS a messy eater like, ummm, SOMEONE in her gene pool! (NOT lookin in a mirror, NO I'm NOT) Of course, the fact that I now have to face REALITY  and put washin the walls on my TD list is just ohhh, I don't know, PLAIN OUT discourageing:( Does the cleaning never end???? But, I digress.......

The material was really CUTE!
I had to use 2 of the 4 panels she gave me to keep both  sides of the dress going the same direction. Basically I outlined the the "frog" dress in the first pic with some wonderful chalk that I snagged while at Joann's and Marshall's wedding. ( If you don't know what I am refering to check out the earlier posts:) Chalk is good! The buttons and lace were from some yard sale. I MEAN, thrifting finds:)  So glad I am NOT the clutterbug/"saver" of previous generations....HAHA...glad mom doesn't read this:) Actually, I would love for Mom to read this! So Mom if you happen to stumble upon this, PLEASE, be a FOLLOWER!! I am follower "poor" right now!  On the bright side, maybe by the time I have a "following" I'll actually know what I am doing, but, probably NOT! LOL
