I think the best way to start this week is to simply say, "I'm back." I have a very long list (as do all of us on any given Monday) but this list has much more breadth to it than the one before I left.
And to make you like me again-- A bag to giveaway! I did a pattern review for the fabulous Sew Mama Sew site and this is the resulting bag. You can read all about the pattern review here. Leave a comment here- anything you'd like to say (although I would love to hear about it if you have been searching for a sewing pattern for something specific but just have not been able to find one.) And if you'd like to follow me on facebook, head on over there, twitter too. There are no extra entries for those this time but I you can get an extra entry for adding my blog to the list of blogs you are following, just follow it and then head back here and leave a comment as such.
I'll keep it open until Thursday and announce it on my Friday Style File post (yeah, the weekly post I so promise and have not not posted the last two weeks, yes, that one-- again, I offer a bag as my apologies) If you visit every day, leave a comment every day, but only one per day please!
Enjoy.
luvluv.

A Promise & A Giveaway!
Sorry to have left you all for so long! 12 days in between posts! Ouch! I promise to never disappear off the face of the earth like that again! I have so much to tell. To say The Creative Connection Event was beyond would honestly not do it justice. The classes were phenomenal, the panel discussions invaluable and the connections made were lifelong. It was amazing. It will take a few different posts to get it all out as I really want to let you all know about the wonderful people I met. So, stay tuned...I promise I'll post something new each day about it.

I just love how you combine fresh, bright patterns with vintage, romantic pins. This bag is a perfect example of that!
Wow, that's an adorable purse! Love the color combo.
Very beautiful bag. And thank you for the thoughtful review. I think it's interesting that you pinned this in the intermediate sewist category because she just did a blog post on Friday?? talking about a new bag pattern book where she loved, loved, loved that it wasn't dialed down to the beginning sewist. I'm still largely a beginner myself, so it is good to see this perspective.
I saw this bag on Sew Mama so and thought it was beautiful! I would love to own it :)
Hi Simone,
wonderfull bag, discovered your jewel blog a while ago already and added you to my blog roll. I desperately hope to win...
Started to sew bags about a year ago, made some patterns, far away from perfect, but improving with every project...

Fantastic bag, as are all of your bags.
What a pretty bag! I love the color combination. I'm making one right now from Lazy Girl Desings -- the Miranda Day Bag. I'm hoping to adjust the pattern by adding a zipper closure. I'm hoping it turns out ok.

Sew Mama Sew has led me to your fabulous blog...so nice to 'meet' you! Your fabric choices are fabulous and the bag you made is divine!
Wow, Simone! You took what looked to be a rather bland looking bag from the picture on the pattern and made it truly come alive! The bag is gorgeous and the colors are just right for autumn in New England!
