It is a crazy rainy day here in Pinkerville (as you might be able to tell from the windows in the background) which makes living on a dirt road just that much messier. Such is life, I guess they can’t all be sunny. My cut goods, jelly rolls, layercakes etc… have all arrived on my doorstep and I hate to cut them up. I found this little pattern on Wee Wonderfuls, her stuff is ridiculously cute. So I thought hey, what an awesome way to use a Jelly Roll without hacking it to pieces. I just love it when problems solve themselves. I adore a good contradiction more than anything, you know like angry cupcakes. How snails became known as cute I will never understand. They are relatively gross and slimey in person but you put those little suckers in pink and give them starry little eyes and they completely transform. So I just made the body from the pattern and stuck a Jelly Roll on his butt and voila! I have never worked with wool felt before so it’s a bit sloppy but it is still pretty cute so I say job well done.

Oh hey wait…I bet you would like to know who the tote bag winners are. I am so enamored with the snail that I almost forgot. Due to some confusion last time I will be e-mailing the winners as well so if you see a name down there that might be yours go ahead and check your in box. Apparently many people have the same first name, go figure.

And the winners are…Michelle, Jeff, Sunny and Jen

Hello happy contestants! You have made me very happy. I feel so popular like a cheerleader with perfect hair and tons of lip gloss. If I weren’t a chubby brunette with a secret sci-fi obsession I might actually believe this little fantasy.

Before I announce the winner I am going to ask you to sit through a review of my findings. This was something of a market research scheme for my future fabric groups. I want to know what you want. Why? because I’m a giver. The clear favorite was the noble dog. This group was also the most specific, almost every dog vote was followed by a particular breed and of the 46 votes for dog there were 22 different breed faves. So I declare this group a dedicated one. The close second coming in at 35 votes was for the cat. These were followed closely by the owl, the giraffe and the bird. I have to say that my favorite was probably the one vote for unicorn followed by a near vote for “husband” as their favorite animal. All in all I am impressed by the diversity. So thanks again for playing my game.
