She makes me look good- giveaway!

You wouldn't know it if you were to see some of my projects through out the years, that there is an actual sister behind the title of my blog. While my selfish knitting has increased, I still make things upon request (demand-heh) from the sister.

Some of you that have read this blog for awhile may recognize this scrappy granny blanket I made for her in early 2011. If you don't, that's ok because it puts my pics to shame. She makes my projects look good.

I will probably make her more granny blankets, but there will only ever be one..Marie Antoinette. To say that she was a labor of love is putting it mildly. This poor dear was knit with so many curse words it would have made a trucker blush. Alas, the sister loves her (despite her crazy eyes)  to no end, so it was worth it. Again the sister photographed her wonderfully.

This sister is wicked talented with the lense, right? Here is what all the hubbub is about. My beautiful sister is having a giveaway on her blog. She has some goodies for you.  It is the perfect girly-girl giveaway. So go enter it runs till noon (Pacific standard time) on the 29th, she will draw a name on the same day. I will be back this weekend to visit with you all.

 

Have a great rest of your week!

XO

The afghan you crocheted IS gorgeous! It's not just the photo :) although it is a beautiful photo :) I wish I could find the endurance to finish a granny blanket... I never can. I started on recently, so here's hoping!

Marie Antoinette is darling!! Love love love her!!

There is something about having a sister! I love mine and we are very close. Great photos of your creations :)

My little sister (13) has a pretty long list of things she wants me to make her for Christmas. I don't think she realizes I'm in college sometimes. Anyways, I love the doll, she looks lovely and I know your sister must just love it!

What a beautiful doll! I can see why your sister loved it. It's adorable! You are very talented Andi.

It is so sweet that you make such lovely things for your sister. That doll is wonderful, her wig is so cute! She is definitely good at taking photos, I'm thinking that it probably runs in the family.

Wow, that doll... ! Big ups to you for finishing it ! It looks like a nervewrecking project to me I admit.. those tiny details and all... But I can totally see why your sister loves it ! ( and am somewhat relieved that I have a brother instead... :-) )

I love Marie Antionette. What great details on the whole doll. I guess you can't blame her for having crazy eyes. It didn't end very well for her did it. I live near French Azylum in LaPorte, PA. Some French aristocracy fled there during the Revolution. It was rumored that they had prepared a place for her but she was unable to get there. Some people stayed in LaPorte but many returned to France after Napoleon allowed them safe return. Helps to pay attention during the video tape tour.

I think Marie is amazing! I'm having some knitting envy, I'll admit. She looks very challenging, but so worth it :)
