Long Over Due Update

I'm now working on that jellyfish finally, despite pain in my back that's causing me to have to pause repeatedly. Hopefully this back issue is resolved as it interferes not only with working on my shop, but daily life.  If you have any suggestions, please send them my way.  I will gladly work on custom orders.  My turn around time is now at about a week however due to my back.  I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding.

Finished order

This is the cream scarf with black edges. Its just over 70 inches long and made if a wool acrylic blend. This yarn is SOOOOOO soft! I was shocked at how soft it was.

Please forgive any typing errors as this is being posted from my phone

Sale Info

The Twitterversary sale I had going on was a success if I do say so myself.  Though I didn't get as many sales as I was hoping for, I did get myself out there and the word spread around about my shop, which is important. I'm also starting a repeat customer special.  When you order, you will receive a special code for your next purchase.  This code is good until the end of the year, however, if you buy close to the end of the year, I will have another code then.  Repeat customers get 15% off their next purchase!  This code will be sent to you via either a conversation on Etsy (if you purchase the item through Etsy) or through your invoice on PayPal (if you purchase through my Facebook fan page).  I'm also in the process of working out a referral program as well.  This will only be for those who share my links on Facebook and Twitter as I have no other way of keeping track of sharing links.  Once I have finalized this special, I will post here the details and on my Twitter and Facebook page.

I'm working on some great custom orders.  Right now, I'm working on the red, white, and blue throw (thank you Jill for the open time table), a great cream scarf with black edging, and a hunter green and gold yellow striped scarf.  The cream scarf should prove interesting as I will be combining loom knitting and crochet!  This will be a interesting project as I've never combined the two before.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to try something new!

As always, if you don't see a color scarf you would like, please contact me for a custom listing and I will get it made within 48 hours of your paid purchase of the item!  I really do enjoy working on these great projects and enjoy working with you, my customers and followers!

Don't Forget...

I have a special going on in the shop!  If you use code SCARF11 you receive free shipping!  This is great since scarf season is right around the corner (and they could have been used today here in Colorado)!  So check out the shop here and pick out a scarf!  If you don't see a color you like, please feel free to contact me and I can make a custom listing for you.  If you feel more comfortable with receiving an invoice via PayPal, you can contact me here using the contact tab stating what color scarf you want and your PayPal address.

Crochet Time!

I'm so excited!  My husband is heading back to work and with that means I'll be back to alone time to crochet after cleaning the house.

Projects in the works:
perfecting the Lion Brands arm warmer pattern I found
a fun jellyfish that I'm tweaking from this pattern with fun bulky yarn
custom red, white, and blue throw
ferret hammocks (only have red fleece right now)

Scarf season is upon us though and I really want to encourage people to get in their orders now.  If you purchase from my shop here, use code SCARF11 for free shipping!  Once I have the arm warmers perfected, I will be putting them up and I will be offering a special of matching scarf, hat, and arm warmers as they're made out of the same yarn as the scarves!!!  I have not decided on the specifics yet, but will post once I've decided.

And as always any crocheted or knitted item in the shop can be completely customized to the colors of your choice.

Fall is Coming!!!

Well here in Colorado Springs it is 56 outside and drizzling outside.  The highs have decided they are done reaching into the 90s and we are lucky to hit the 80s.  Oh fall is definitely on its way!!!  The mountains have already started getting very small amounts of snow.  Oh we are coming up on my personal favorite time of year, winter!

But we're not there yet and this is the perfect time to start thinking about and buying your winter gear.  A good scarf is useful here from October till April and sometimes into May.  This is the perfect time to think about purchasing this years fab choice.  Because of this, a scarf special will begin running in the next couple of weeks to run through Halloween (my personal favorite time of year).  Use code SCARF11 at checkout in the Etsy shop and receive free shipping.

Shop status: custom orders are definitely open and I am working on one as we speak.  I'm definitely back into crocheting now that the highs are no longer in the 90s (too hot for me to deal with yarn).  I'm also working on a throw for personal use that I can't wait to share with y'all.  If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask!

Giveaway update!

The winner has been contacted. They have 24 hours to respond with their shipping information and what item they want, priced $25 and under, from the Ready to Ship or Sale Item albums from the fan page!  If they do not contact me within 24 hours I will draw for another winner!

GIVEAWAY TIME!!!!

Ok, it's time for the giveaway for the fan page!  This should have been posted at 9 am when I woke up, but things got a bit hectic this morning seeing as one of my ferrets thought it would be cool to get himself stuck in the loveseat LOL.  Ok, here are the rules.  The giveaway will be open until 5 pm MDT (the next 5 hours).  Everyone that comments in that time will be given a number (based on their order in the comments) and I will have random.org choose the winner.  Please make sure when you comment that you allow for me to email you so that I can contact the winner.  I will also post a blog with the winner as well.  Please include your name in your comment.  The winner will get to choose any item priced at $25 or less from the Ready to Ship or Sale albums on the fan page.  Once I have contacted the winner and got their shipping information I will mail out the prize.  I will give the winner 24 hours to claim their prize and then I will choose another winner if they have not contacted me.  So here we go! Comment away people.

One entry per person please!

Custom Orders

To place a custom order, comment under the pattern or item you would like custom made with the specifics (size, color, etc) or you can email that same information through the contact tab!  Access the patterns for custom items here.  Most dresses for girls are $35 for calico cotton fabric or $40 for ACU fabric.  Other combinations should be discussed in a pm or email.   Shipping information is $5 in most cases right now, but if that changes, I will update that information on that item.

Last day for custom orders is 7/21 and custom orders, as of right now, will resume on 8/15.  As things change, I will update the page.

Giveaway Details

We're almost to 100 fans and I thought it would be wise to get the giveaway rules in writing now!  What we're going to do is once we reach 100 fans, I'll post a blog post about it and the first people to comment will get put into a drawing.  I haven't decided how many comments yet, but I'll figure that out when we reach 100 fans.  The winner will get to choose any item in the Ready to Ship and Sale albums on the fan page that is under $25 as their prize.  I will ask the winner to send me an email with their mailing address and which item they would like and I will get it into the mail.  Please note, that I will only enter each person once only!  I can't wait for the giveaway and for a lucky fan to get a free item!

Here is a blog for the shop

Due to Facebook changing the rules on how giveaways are done, I've decided to create a blog just for my shop.  Once the Facebook fan page hits 100 fans, I will post a corresponding blog here, and the first five people to comment will go into a drawing.  The winner, will win a yet determined prize.  As of right now, we only need 25 more people until the giveaway!  I'm so excited about all the new things that are to come, no matter what my heath says about it!  Also, this will be where I will note when I will be away from the shop and another place for people to request custom items, as well as the Facebook page and my Etsy shop.  Please note that items on Etsy will not be listed for sale on the Facebook page due to Etsy's rules.  Once an item drops off Etsy, it will then go into the sales album on Facebook for 15-30% off.  The shipping cost will have to stay the same due to sheer cost of mailing items.  As always, individuals in the Colorado Springs/Ft Carson area can have free shipping if they arrange for a pick up location, however I would prefer if you still pay on PayPal.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  You may contact me here, on the Facebook fan page (this will take you to the page) or you can email me here or contact me through Etsy here.  I will try to remember to update this regularly, especially with new items and where they're available at.
