Wow-what a day!

Ok, so my only sister has been pregnant with her first child (a girl they were naming Ivy) for the past 41 1/2 weeks. We've all been so excited, she has everything ready, and it's all pink! Being the 3 boymom that I am, I was REALLY excited at the prospect of being able to buy some frilly stuff and had already stocked her shelves with quite a few wares.
She opted for a natural home birth and yesterday started an herbal induction due to an excrutiating rash (pregnancy induced) that she had. All last night we listened for the phone in our sleep yet, ironically, I did not hear it at 5 am when she called to say her water had broken and to ask my advice. So all day my family and I have raced to the phone when it rings and been generally expectant and excited to meet Ivy Malia!
At long last, my brother-in-law calls; Ivy is here!! But...Ivy has a penis! Yep, they have a fully stocked girls room for a boy! ;) I say just shut the door and move to the next room!
God sure does have a sense of humor!

We have a winner!!!

CONTEST!!!! Dribble bib giveaway!!!!

Well, I have had a slow couple of weeks with sales so I've been reading and trying to

implement all manner of advice and tips. I've been twittering and posting, blogging and lynking, stumbling and forum posting-most of the time having very little idea what I'm doing. Heck, it took me 5 months on Facebook to figure out the Find Friends feature (it's so much more fun now). I've found some great articles on Etsy and a lot of not so great articles on the web. In fact, I've been spending so much time on promotion that I haven't been doing any sewing, so now I'm faced with a mountain of sewing to be done in order to be ready for that influx of sales that is promised to finally hit me from all my promoting. ;)

This leads me to MY BIG IDEA; I've noticed a lot of people have contests and giveaways and that looks fun, so I am going to have a contest.

Here's how it will work- simply post a comment to this blog answering the question: "What is your favorite Autumn activity?".

The contest will run from 11/3/08-11/24/08 at which point I will randomly select a winner. What will you win you ask?!! The winner will receive this fabulous Child of Privilege Dribble Bib!! Oooohhh, aaaaahhhh!

Bib is Aqua dots on a cocoa background, backed with aqua cotton fabric, and topped with a coordinating vintage button. This pattern is suitable for a boy or girl! Measures approx. 8" X 11".

Good luck and here we go!!
