My Liebster Award :-D

October 15, 2014October 15, 2014Blogging8 Comments

I was so thrilled to receive an email last week from Kristina at My Own Home Blog, telling me that she had nominated me for the Liebster Award! *cue grinning face and fist pumps in the air :-)*

I had seen this floating around on a couple of other blogs in the past and thought it looked fun! A little way of telling people a bit more about the person behind the blog.

“The Liebster Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome. Awesome!

The time had come to make something that was a little more complicated. I had picked up 2 old patterns a couple of weeks ago but was a bit hesitant to use them as I have never used a ‘proper’ pattern before. I have cut around items, used simple printed patterns from the internet and freestyled a bit. I decided to go for the Butterick 3664. I wasn’t really sure how to find the year the pattern was made, but it was bought in an antique store so that makes it old right?
