*****THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*****
Hey, guys! Happy Wednesday! May is one of my favorite months– the weather really starts to get nice here in the northeast, and there are so many things to celebrate! Last week was my seventh wedding anniversary, next week is Man Friend’s 30th birthday, and we’re just a few days away from celebrating our first Peggy-versary (one year since we adopted our cheerful girl dog from Animal Haven)! But amidst all the hubbub, I missed my second blogiversary on May 11th! But don’t worry– I didn’t forget about you guys!
I picked out some amazing fabric for you guys on my trip to Mood over the weekend! It’s two yards of a gorgeous silk charmeuse, with one matte and one shiny side. My (grainy due to the crappy, dark weather) photo doesn’t really do it justice, but it’s a lovely gray with a hint of lavender in it. Suzanne at Beau Baby made an awesome blouse with a different colorway of this print in chiffon (Mood often carries silk prints that are offered in both chiffon and charmeuse, which is fun)– check it out here!
To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment! If you already know what you would make with it, let me know in the comments, too– I always love to snoop! I’ll ship it anywhere. Just enter by 11:59PM next Wednesday, May 29th, one week from today. Hooray!
Thanks so much for reading my blog over the past two years! It’s been so much fun getting to know you guys through your comments and blogs (and in person, whenever I get the chance!)! Thanks to you, sewing is a fun, communal activity for me and not just solitary time spent hunching over my machine, cursing and seam ripping!

What gorgeous fabric. I definitely think a tunic type top/dress would be in order.
