Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!!!
Happy Monday to you :)

Since there are so many new readers {hooray}, I thought I’d introduce myself and officially welcome you.

Hi, I’m Gussy!
I have brown curly hair, big blue eyes, and I like to wear headbands that my husband Zack so lovingly calls barrettes. Sigh… He does that on purpose ;)


There’s lots of great things to talk about this morning: sewing, giveaway winners, and some more updates. I know I don’t show my face around here very often because let’s be honest: why post pictures of myself when there are ruffle’s to showcase?!

However, I have to show you this pic:

That is my reaction to doing laundry. I love doing laundry. Yes, that is our dirty laundry. Don’t be grossed out. I had to show you all that picture because a few weeks ago I blogged about how much I love to launder our clothes and my friend Kim @ Everything Etsy laughed at me. I knew someone would ;)

Don’t hate me because I love to launder, OK? Just be my friend and laugh with me when I mix up phrases.

Next topic!

A few days ago I showed you all this picture:

I was hopeful to transform all the fabric pieces into something lovely, something luscious, something legit. Yesterday afternoon, while hubbs took our one and only car {yes, we sold the VUE!} to get an oil change, I jammed away in our little {big} Minneapolis apartment. Just me and my sewing machine. And a mug of cream with coffee. And my ruffles. Ahhh… it was bliss :)

Today folks, on the third Monday of the month, I am here to show you the scraps of fabric have been transformed… Pardon my drool on the ruffles.

Hello, Shady Gus’:
They are great for your sunglasses {tee he he}, your iPhone or iPod, chapstick, crayons and maybe a barrette or two. But not a headband {too big}.

Hello, Lovely Gus’:
The perfect ruffle’d Gussy item for your purse, bag, diaper bag, or ya know, ______. I keep one in my messenger bag for work, in my purse, and maybe three more around the house. Zack, if you’re reading this, don’t be upset I am using a few zipped pouches. I’ve only sewn 250+ items and if I keep just five things… Well, I find that appropriate {to say the least} ;)

Hello, Ruffle Gus’:
These soon-to-be wallets are darling. Just darling, I tell you. I have them stacked on my sewing table and I keep going in to check on them. To make sure they are real. Because they are darling. Very soon I’ll sew on a button, add a magnetic snap, and then sew up the sides.


Once everything is listed I’ll be sure to let you know!

In other news, the Gussy Giveaway was a huuuuuge success! There were 159 comments left and a total of 216 opportunities {with all the entries made available}. Last time I offered this type of giveaway there were 72 comments left. I don’t know about you, but I’d say this time around was ahhh-mazing. A big THANK YOU to all that entered and shared my blog!

I know so many of you are sitting on the edge of your seat, just waiting to know who the winners are… Shall I tell you?
A big congrats to Liz Spencer!
She wins one item in-stock at 100%-off.

{hooray}

And a big congrats to Suzi,

who wins 59%-off one item in-stock.

{woot woot!}

Liz and Suzi, please contact me!
