I don't plan on shopping "out there" today, but am loving the awesome drawings and deals on Hyenacart! Stop by Gillyweeds if you want some fun free for shipping action, too!

The Spotted Box is here!

Wow! It was tiny, but full of fun:

a bitty knitted hat
fold over elastic
an ounce of yarn
a crocheted strawberry shaped sachet bag
a full sized card and gift tag
a sample of mineral foundation
two flannel wipes (which I use, anyway)
grass seed
a flannel makeup remover pad
a diaper doubler
a crocheted facial scrubbie
2 red nosed reindeer magnets
a bookmark
two wax tarts
a beaded stitch marker
a crocheted flower magnet
toffee!! (I think this one was my favorite!)
2 bead magnets
1 hair clippee
and a calling card (this was what I sent in)

All in all, a good haul. I will definitely do this again!

The Spotted Box!

I am appearing in The Spotted Box this week for Gillyweeds. I was stressing about this so much! I have never gotten a box, but I have always wanted one. I can't imagine the wonderful things that will be inside! I have already seen some of the offerings for this month...full sized items given as samples -- I can't wait!

I didn't really know what to offer, so I did a variety of things. I wanted to send 60 samples so I could receive a free box. I did some one ounce samples of my dyed yarn, I sent some facial scrubbers, and I sent some of my Calling Cards. I hope they are recieved well. I felt really pressured to get these samples done, so I could get my free box, that I overwhelmed myself a little!

But I can't wait to see what I get. Should be here soon, and I'll be sure to post what comes. I will totally do another one, but this time I'll pace myself. If I start now, I can have my stuff for December done by the end of this month!

The Spotted Box is on sale now on Hyenacart!

Some recent accomplishments...

Northern Lights newborn longies on BBR Black Berry Ridge Merino. These were so fun to crochet! I love BBR, and have decided that all my longies for Khloe will be on this or Fisherman's from now on. I love how it is so low maintenance, and it dries super fast!

Neopolitan (Wooly Wonders By Nada) newborn soaker on BBR, using Freckle's soaker pattern. I love this colorway!

Calling cards! These were sooo much fun to make! I hope to get some more done over the weekend.

All these items are in stock (except the calling cards) at Gillyweeds today!

And in progress, calling the church about my crocheting/knitting group at church. I hope to have something started in the next month or so (probably after Christmas), and I am so excited! Pray for me!
