Just a little something to add to the empire... and another two great Giveaways

Well, while I am confessing all of my latest Stash Empire building - lol! - I saw this pattern on sale on the internet and just had to buy it to add to the Empire.  Do you like it?

Isn't she pretty?

... and she came with her own beads and gold thread.

Now I just have to find some perfect fabric for her,  oh dear, that may mean some more Stash Empire building! lol!

I must just tell you about Lija's 100 follower Giveaway, she is giving away a whole swag of lovely goodies to celebrate reaching the 100 followers milestone.  You can join in the fun here.  Closes, July 31st.

Also, the redoubtable Nancy of Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe is having another floss giveaway, this time though, you nominate one of your stitchy friends to win the gift!  Neat idea, hey?

I entered and although it was a hard decision to make as to who to nominate, I decided upon my DF Linda from Stitching with my Furbabies, who also kindly nominated me to win - lovely!

You can enter Nancy's Giveaway, here.
