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

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!

New Yarn, Creations and Ideas!

Hi, I've been a good girl and not bought anymore thick n' thin handspun and hand dyed yarn in a while. I love the yarn and it's always so lovely and fun to work with. I've justified it in my mind once I made money back from my original purchase I would let myself buy more. That was made easy when I wrote out my simple Thick N' Thin NB Beanie pattern. 

I can't believe how popular this pattern has been and with buying more of this yarn I plan to write out a few more patterns like a pixie/stocking cap, gnome hat, chin strap  hat and a few other things in mind.

I've only bought yarn from one seller and I just really love the colors she has to offer. Her shop is Ilashdesigns  -

I ordered -  Tea Party , Squirtguns andWoodland Faerie. 

I'm so excited to work with these today! 

Over the weekend I made up this adorable unicorn. My own design! 

I just love the Rainbow mane and tan horn. 

What do you think?

I also finished up the zebra hat and cuddle critter cape! Isn't this just adorable! 

I'm so excited because my photographer was able to do three newborn sessions this weekend and is in process of editing photos of them in some of my cuddle critter capes and other hats. I'm thrilled with the sneak peaks she's teased me with and can't wait to share them with you soon.

On a side note I only have one more week of Piano lessons, a recital and some finals to test the following week and schools out for summer! I'm thrilled to get to focus on my kiddos and crocheting this summer! 

Have a great week everyone!

Zebra- Collection

Our Zebra print bandana dress was shared in a lovely collection on Artfire tonight! Check out all the cute zebra print items in this collection!

All things Zebra

I'm on this Zebra print kick! I've been working on new things for The Gift Garden was looking for things more trendy. Zebra and Hot Pink are my top sellers.

First is our new Granny Square hats - I made them with Simply Soft yarn in Black & White with accents in Hot Pink and Lime Green. Don't you just love how the Color pops. These can be made in a variety of size from newborn to adult. 

Next is my newest Bandana dress in Zebra print with pink and black Polka dot trim. I love that Bandana Dresses fit 12m - up to 4 years as a dress and still fits 5-7 years olds as a shirt. Of course we can always add more fabric to the bottom to make them longer or cut them to be smaller.

Not only to they grow with your child but there light weight for summer and make a great swim suit coverup  and in the winter you can put a shirt underneath and add some leggings. It's great in all season. 

of course I had to make a bow to match !

Another favorite bandana dress is the hot pink zebra! It also comes in lime and orange. 

The second bow was inspired by a friend of mine. I'd accidentally bought brown zebra so I had to put it to good use. This is super cute if you love animal prints.

I have a several other animal print ribbons and I'll be working on new flower ribbon bows too! I can't wait to show you more!
