Cute Stuff In My Life

First of all, I got some customer appreciation photos, which I adore.

Next, my cousin's wife is having a baby! A little boy. And of course, I get all excited because I get to knit things for little tiny people. This pattern was floating around online, I changed it a little to suit my needs. It's a Blue Berry!

More cute stuff later.

Eco-Pet Beds - A Give-Away!!

In honor of the encroaching holiday season and trying to find eco/environmentally friendly gifts, I am holding a give-away. That way, if you are looking for a kick-ass cat bed for your loved one, you can score one here free. I know, that's sweet right? Details...

This is a raffle of sorts. By going down yonder to the comments section and entering your e-mail address as a comment, you enter yourself to win one pet bed. You have your choice of green leaves or yellow leaves, two beautiful prints from Robert Kaufman's GreenStyle line. So take a gander and give me your e-mail address. On November 1, I will write you all down on little slips of paper, photographing everything of course, and I will pick one winner. Who knows, maybe I will pick two.

NOTE: If you don't have a blogger account, go here and send me a message, I will add you to the hat!!

Then I will send you, the winner(s) an e-mail to the address you enter below, so make sure it's right. Good Luck!!

My NieNie Purchase

It was like a frenzy trying to get in on the goods today during the second half of the NieNie Benefit Sale. But I got up in there and came out with a new brooch. Here is a fantastic photo of my new brooch by Litchy7. It's awesome. And by the by, it appears that there will be several more days of sales.

Wow.

I got a little teary eyed at how incredibly quickly everything disapeared from the NieNie Benefit Sale that started today. In what seemed like 5 minutes, 158 items were sold. Wow. Both my beds were snatched up and if you who bought them find your way here, Thank You. Send me some pics if you want to.

Make sure to check them out tomorrow for the second day of the sale. Links can be found all over this blog.

Again, thanks to everyone who donated, bought or even just watched the sale today. They will truly appreciate the support.

Oh Yeah...

Today, go here. Help some people out. Get some pet beds.

Here Comes Fall

Thank god it's time to say good bye to heat and humidity and say hello to hot cider with whiskey, knitting, woodfires and pumpkins. Last night was the first night of what I hope will be a regular stitch'n'bitch. Here is the outcome...

It's a really, really short scarf. Crocheted using the broomstick stitch that I found on Ravelry but you can get it here at Roman Sock (you will also find some quick crocheted animals at this blog). I will say it again, I am not very good at crocheting. I can't understand the directions, let alone follow them. Next project will be knitting. Probably from this book, which is really, REALLY badass. Casey gave it to me for Christmas last year, or the year before, and I haven't made anything from it yet. This is the year!

NieNie Benefit

After reading about this awful situation I decided to donate a couple of beds to the NieNie Benefit Etsy Store. Take the time on September 23 and 24 to look around at their Etsy Store.

More information about the Nielsons and their family can be found here at this beautiful blog. Once you read it, you will want to help, I know it.
