Seven Year Anniversary!

I seems every year I say "I can't believe how fast that year went!" but honestly as I look back on these past seven years it has been an incredible rollercoaster! From super highs to way down lows. Running a home business isn't always easy but you know what I'm beyond thankful for each and everyone of you who read the blog, watch me on youtube, follow on all things social media, enjoy free patterns, buy paid patterns or just chat about our love of all things crochet....even knit! I've made some incredible friends along the way. I've loved getting to share my journey with you even if I've been a blog slacker for the past few years! It's hard to do it all! If I could just crochet all the time I would, I'm pretty sure you would too! 

Of course we can't have a celebration with out a sale! It's actually been live all weekend but I think people are avoiding social media right now! (we won't talk about that). I should probably have blogged sooner but life....So I've extended the sale!

Zazzle Review and Giveaway!

I just discovered Zazzle!! They like to make your unique visions come to life! 

Did you know some of my favorite crochet buddies have some Zazzle swag! 

Check out the crochet and yarn goodness in storefronts 

by Moogly,  Repeat Crafter Me, Petals to Picots and Mobius Girl Design.

(had to get crochet in the post somehow right!) 

Are you a techy? Do you have to get the latest gadgets? I'm not! LOL. 

However I'm so super thankful for them because I can get my work done from virtually anywhere! My hubby however is an Apple fanatic so of course he recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 Plus. Yikes I have to say that is a big phone. Finding just the right case for these new iphones isn't always easy especially if you are picky, but we recently discovered this awesome site called Zazzle where you can choose from 100s of unique quality case or even more fun a custom case. 

Since the case was going to be hubby's phone I let him pick one out. 

Now there is a story behind this case. He used to ref roller derby and they are called 

zebras so he picked out this silly case just for fun! 

This is an iPhone 6 plus Case-mate tough case. The phone fit perfectly in the case which has a hard sturdy shell but also has a soft shock absorbent liner! My hubby has broken a few iPhones so durability is important. You can also purchase a barely there case for a few bucks less if you do not want it so "tough".  The case is perfectly cut so you can get to all your sensors, ports and controls. The case is not super heavy and does not seem to add to much weight or bulk to the phone. The rubber liner gives a nice grip around the phone so it is not super slick. It is also raised a bit so your screen does not hit directly on surfaces to help prevent scratching.

The printed image is great. Not smeary and does not scratch off. The picture clear with vibrant color and trendy! The case it self has a glossy finish. 

The cases ship super fast and are printed in the USA! The price is worth the great customization options! Zazzle is always having great sales too. So be sure to see what sales they have going on so you can get savings! 

I wanted to customize a cool yarn or crochet related case! Which you can do! It is super easy to add a picture or your own text. You can view it as you create it! No surprises here. Maybe I will design a special case with my logo or business card info on it! Makes it great for designing marketing products! 

Want a chance to win $25.00 credit 

towards your next purchase!! 

Just vist on over to Zazzle look through the cases and let me know which one you would choose or maybe tell me how you would customize one!

Just leave a comment on the blog with your full name! 

This Giveaway will end Wed Oct 1, 2014 Midnight Central! 

Winner will be posted on this post on Thursday Oct 2nd!

15,000 Facebook Fan Celebration!

WOW! I can't hardly believe it! In just a few short months Calleigh's Clips will have been in business for five years! We just rolled 15K Facebook fans and I think that is just amazing. 

 It's already time for busy season so I know that you would love to get a deal on a whole bunch of patterns to help keep you busy! I'm about to tell you about a steal of a deal. I've never done this and honestly it's a little hard for me to but I think we can both benefit from this! 

(coupon code and link at bottom of post!) 

I'm going to be open on honest with you! Business isn't as busy for me as it was a few years ago. Some of that is partially due to me taking a step back the last 8 months but I knew that is what I was supposed to do for my family and for me! It was the best decision, but that took a bit of a hit for our finances. God has provided in so many ways and I'm thankful. Unfortunately we can't seem to hit a break about not needing to visit the emergency room or hospital visits over the summer.

 I can count on both hands!!! I'm out of fingers :(  

 My little man fell at the playground this summer and broke his elbow and had to have surgery and those bills are coming in. WOW! Yikes! 

My sweet hubby sliced open two different fingers two different times while helping my bro with his Jeeps. 

I had to have a planned proceeder done that unfortunately my insurance doesn't completly cover.  

My sweet Calleigh well she's going to need her eyes checked. 

She ran very hard into a wall the other day! She is fine but that bump and black eye wasn't pretty. 

A little too much excitement in the last few months. 

 We are doing great and everyone is okay, 

but we really need to make some extra money to pay for these unexpected doctor bills, 

boy did they add up fast! Lets just say $6,000 to $8,000 after insurance. 

So all my patterns are on sale for 3 days for $1.50 or less! 75% off. 

That's like 10 patterns for $15.00 or less! 

I like to dream big and say if 1/2 of my fans bought one pattern this would be covered and God can work miracles but Facebook won't share with everyone and well if I did sell that many I would be surprised because that would be one awesome sale. Is it possible? Well only you make it possible! 

So I'm hoping  that with the great deal maybe you will share it with all your crochet friends too and help out a fellow crochet mom just like you! 

So visit on over to: 

Ravelry

use the code 15KCCCC at check out! 

Go wild! Buy a bunch and if you can't spend a $1-2 then be sure to watch for some freebies coming or just be so kind as to share the sale! 

Thank you in advance! 

Giveaway : Cabled Button Hat and Mitts

Recently a friend of mine made an amazingly adorable hat and shared it in our Facebook group! Many people asked about the design which she freehanded. Many hoped she would design it but she'd never written a pattern before. With encouragement, she decided to give it a whirl! I'm so glad she did! It's a great design that I had the privilege to test!

 It's seriously my new favorite hat! I know that you will love it too!

It is an intermediate pattern, but not to difficult. I love the way she explains how to work the cables and she's given me a new love for reverse single crochet. (we kinda had a love hate relationship but I think I have it down now) The construction of the hat is great! If you love slouchy hats (which seem to be the popular style this season) then you will really like this hat! The cabling on the brim make it thicker, so it's warm and cozy. 

Add some personal flare by adding a big button or 2-3 small buttons. I've even seen few make the brim one color and the hat body another or variegated! So many options! This makes the perfect gifts by pairing it with the matching fingerless gloves!

Here are my samples:

Made this one with impeccable, I can't remember the name but it's black with jewel tones metallic thread. It's really pretty in person. The button is black with glittery sparkles too! 

It's my new favorite!!

Wanted to make another because I loved the pattern so much! Chose a more neutral tone and a soft yarn. My new favorite Lion Brand Heartand. It's a cream heather. 

I wanted to make matching gloves with the Heartland but I ran out on the 1st glove so I told my hubby to pick a color. He said purple. I found a skien of Bernat Sheepish in Plumish. Gorgeous color!! I added a winter touch of sparkly snowflake buttons. 

So let's get to that giveaway! 

Rachel of Silly Stitches has graciously allowed me to offer you a chance to win both crochet patterns and offer a 30% discount on the pattern today only (Monday) in Raverly!!
