Winners: Beaded Bookmarks Bloggy Giveaway
February 3rd, 2008
Good fun! There were 890 giveaways in the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival. I was number 887 on the list (um, I did mention I made it in at the last minute!). I really enjoyed participating and visiting many new blogs I likely never would have stumbled upon otherwise.
To draw the winners of my Beaded Bookmarks giveaway, I used the sequence generator at random.org. I had 160 comments on my giveaway (I wish I could send a bookmark to each and every one of you!), so I used the first four numbers given by the sequence generator. I matched those numbers with the comment numbers to draw four winners.

Bloggy Giveaway: Beaded Bookmarks
January 31st, 2008
Just in the nick of time, I’ve slipped into this round of the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival hosted by Shannon of Rocks in My Dryer. I noticed the summer one after it was over and thought it sounded like fun. You can read more about it here, but in a nutshell, giving stuff away is fun and a bunch of bloggers giving stuff away is even more fun!
If you’re new to my blog, hello! I’m a crochet designer and work-at-home mom. So, anyhow… I’m giving away four of my handmade crocheted beaded bookmarks. They’re made from my free crochet pattern available at crochetme.com. To enter my giveaway, just leave a comment on this post. If you want, you can list the bookmarks in the order of which you like best. The first winner drawn will get their first choice and so on.
This is a giveaway, so it is totally free to you; I cover the shipping cost. I will ship internationally. On Sunday afternoon at around 2 pm (maybe a little later, depending on my toddler’s naptime), I’ll randomly draw four winners and each one will get one of the beaded bookmarks shown below.
Bookmark #1 - Blue and Red
Bookmark #2 - Off-white and Light Blue
Bookmark #3 - Gold and Dark Blue
Bookmark #4 Green and White
Uncommon Threads Re-Air
August 28th, 2007The Uncommon Threads episode I was in will be re-airing tomorrow (Wed, Aug 29, 2007 @ 1:30 pm Eastern time on the DIY Network). It’s been on a few times since it first aired in October 2006, but I haven’t been keeping up with it.
I’m in the episode with Kim and Cecily. The theme is a party, and we demonstrate crocheting a wine bottle cozy (me), flowers (Kim), and a spiral bauble garland (Cecily).
In the final segment of this episode, we each show a few more crocheted party things, but don’t demo them: wine glass charms (me), crocheted sushi (Kim), and crocheted mini boxes (Cecily).

Meeting Amy
August 1st, 2007Amy and I have been running Crochetville [est. 2004] together for well over a year and she has been fantastic to work with. We talk nearly every day on the phone: we discuss and decide and plan.
But we hadn’t met in person until a few weeks ago. Amy was on a summer vacation with her family in Emerald Isle, a short drive away from my town.
So we arranged to meet downtown at my LYS, Weaver’s Webb…
…and we petted the yarn and shopped…
…and, of course, had our picture taken!
Amy’s wearing a top she crocheted, the Bell Sleeved Pullover by Doris Chan from the Crochet Collection 2006 booklet published by Tahki Stacy Charles. Made from Tahki Cotton Classic in the color (Amy thinks) blue slate #3818. And she crocheted her purse, too, a blue Fat Bottom Bag. Me, I’m in my “uniform,” a V-neck T-shirt!
We intended to hit the bead shop after that, but instead decided we’d better head out to pick up my son from the babysitter and some lunch from BearTown. For my little guy’s sake (he fell asleep in the car) we ordered carryout and ate at my place.
We wanted a really good photo of us together, so we did our own little photo shoot in my backyard. With the two of us, a tripod, and an eager toddler, it wasn’t easy but just laughed our way through it!
Our time together went by in a flash. I look forward to our next visit!
Happy Birthday Crochetville!
