Recently I found this fun blog, “Children Are A Blessing From God” A fun blog about family & frugal life. Any way, she currently has a give away for a flour sack! I love the history that is behind them and the thousand uses they have had in the past. Any way pop on over, enjoy a good read and tell her I said Hi!
A few months I found a wonderful Etsy seller LemonDropsShop. I purchased some cute hair clips for Evie hoping they would be the set that actually stayed in her baby wisps
Boy was I (and Erika) pleasantly surprised….they worked! With no fuss or pulled strands! Very well made, no loose or frayed ends. Needless to say we’ve picked up a few other sets.
I looked at them at first and thought I could make these….after checking in to the supplies we decided it wasn’t worth the bother as the pricing she offers can’t be beat!
A Mom of twins, who knows what is useful and works amid all the baby garb..after all she has 2 product testers in residence!
I’d been looking at her bibs for our “Drool Diva” and When she offered a give away a few months ago I signed up!…
And won!
I really like her nontraditional baby prints, bright & cheerful but not overly cutesy. The second bib I ordered after winning. I’m not sure what she uses in the construction but, they are to date leak proof & great size to protect clothing.
I ordered this Star Crayon for Hayden, Its a great size for little hands to hold on to.
I just wish I’d had this post completed early enough for Christmas as her items are wonderful, she offers the customer a variety of fabrics and patterns to select, her customer service is EXCELLENT! Fast shipping and gift packaging!
So, as a belated gift to readers, I’m having a giveaway!
I ordered an extra “Star Crayon” which will be great as a stash gift or for your own little one!
Here are the rules,
Leave a comment telling me your favorite baby item in her shop….(be sure and look at her sold items also) for an entry
Link the giveaway on your blog for another entry & let me know, for a 2nd entry
Tweet and or face book for a 3rd/4th entry..(These can be as many as you’d like)
The drawing will be held Christmas Eve, and announced by the 26th. A quickie!
So, what are you waiting for….go check LemonDropsShop out!
Drum roll please!
and the winner is :
I want a cute little jar of Lanolin! That would be so much easier to carry around than a 1 lb Mason Jar! (when traveling.... I don’t just carry around lanolin!
Be sure and email me you address & this will go in Mondays mail!
Bunny Hop Longies, all they need is cuffs…….When I find the skein! I’ve promised myself I’ll get some of this yarn organized before years end…Somehow in the process, I’ve lost err found a “perfect” spot for “working” skeins..(I’m sure that’s it)…but I have to remember where that is! So, for now they are resting….waiting for cuffs.
These are nearly done now. I have about 3 inches of leg and cuff’s left. I’m using a Cascade marle, Midnight blue and black.
Love the way the color is knitting up..but then, its Cascade. I don’t think they have any ugly colors!
These are just completed, “Rocker Girl” my color way in
heavy Merino from Wool to Dye For.
It’s that time of the year finally when its staying cold…not 30 one day and 60 the next.. Solid 30’s and 50mph winds….Miss Evie needed a hat! I wanted something different, something to tie on & found this. (The photo stinks I know.) I used the “Gnome” pattern from Pumpkinhaus on Etsy. I LOVE IT!! When it’s worn, the point stands straight up! The bottom snug’s up around the neck to keep the wind out & the front rib is just right. Now squeegie marks on her face but snug against her cheeks.
It calls for a bulky yarn but I wanted to compliment her winter jacket a deep pink (of course)…This yarn was in my stash so I used a double strand, its a hot pink, yellow and white twist. Quick & easy. Great for using up those odd bits of yarn. The directions are very detailed and clearly written. Be sure and look at her photos as she shows it being worn, mine does not do her pattern justice. I highly recommend the pattern if you need a quick holiday gift. I think I know 2-3 little ones and that will be receiving this for Christmas. I already have another in chocolate brown started for Evie that will have a bit of embroidery added. She even has adult sizes. I’m trying to talk her into licensing this pattern as I think it will look adorable paired with longies!
And don’t forget to sign up for a chance to win 2 oz of lanolin!
So, what’s on your needles?
This past year I’ve sold a lot of longies & wool covers.
I like to ship my longies lanolized & ready to wear, but sometimes had to really search for a good quality lanolin. Along with others apparently as I have often been asked if it would sell it.
After a lot of searching, I’ve found a supplier that will be able to provide a consistant quality supply & now have it for sale in my Etsy Shop!
As a thank you to my customers & other lovers of wool bottoms, I’m giving away a Jar!
2 oz, enough for up to 50 pair(depending on your use)!
