Who was Irene Adler? The first FFF giveaway.
Nov 7, 2008 at 11:38
First I want to say that I feel like I lost sight of why I started this blog (well not really, I have just had a lot of crazy going on in my life over the last six months... more than my share I think).
Originally I started Nine Fireflies as an outlet to share my crafty goodness (and all things crafty) and keep my family and friends up to date on what is going on with our little family. Lately it has become more of the later and that is only because crafting has been at a minimum with remodeling and selling our home in North Carolina. Then moving into a small 600 square foot cottage in Florida. Lets just say the environment does not afford a lot of space for crafting. Did I mention it was tiny?
However, with our final move to La Casa in sight, I look forward to pulling my sewing machine, my beast (Gocco), and my fabrics out of storage and start creating until I go cross-eyed or pass out from bliss (whichever comes first).
On with my post... for those of you who know me (and those that do not)... I love all things Sherlock Holmes.
Now, back to the initial question. Who was Irene Adler?
The short answer, Irene Adler was the only person to ever "out smart" Sherlock Holmes (a woman... how fabulous).
The current question... Who IS Irene Adler?
She is the newest member of our family. I found her via CraigsList in Tampa Florida (only 7 hours away), but I couldn't resist her. Big THANK YOU goes out to my sister who drove her up to me (thank goodness she was already heading up this way for a visit). Only had her 3 weeks before I finally named her.
Yes, she is a polydactyl and has extra thumbs! Cute, isn't she!?!
What makes this Fun Fabric Friday?
If you can tell me what two words Sherlock Holmes used to refer to Irene Adler you will win a free fat quarter of fabric. And YES the answer is search-able on the internet.
The fat quarter up for grabs this week... Alexander Henry "Demi Heels" in blue!
You can provide me your answer one of two ways. You can email me at ninefireflies[at]gmail[dot]com or post your response in the comments section (however posting in comments will allow others to see, and possibly use, your answer). Cut off for answer submission will be Thursday the 14th, 9pm eastern time.
I will then collect all correct answers and draw a winner at random.
The winner will be blogged on Friday, along with the next idea for giving away another fat quarter of fabric.
Good luck crafters!
