October Design Contest - Think PInk!

We had a great success with the scarecrow design contest last month that I though it would be fun to do another on this month and maybe every month! I love seeing you put your own twist on my designs! There are sooo many possibilities! Instead of doing a Halloween theme, since most my items are considered costumes, I've decided on the theme "Think Pink" - In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. My sweet grandma is a survivor of breast cancer and it's a cause important to my heart and our family!

The rules are simple.

1. It has to be from one of my patterns. It can look just like my pattern or it can vary with your own creative ideas added. This can be from paid or even the free pattern posted here on the blog so this gives anyone a chance.

2. It has to be mostly shade of pink(s).

3. Email your Photo submission to me calleighclips @ att. net or you can post it to my facebook wall.
It doesn't have to be a professional image or even on a model. So don't feel like if you don't have professional image you wont win because it's mostly random draw.

4. I will make an album on facebook through out the month.

5. I will accept submissions from Oct 5th - Oct 31st. Winners will be chosen the week after.

This will not be a voting contest to give everyone an equal chance. I will pick a few at random, I will pick my favorite and my kids love to pick a couple favorites too. The more that enter the more random draws I'll pick!

If you have questions at any time just contact me! or leave comments below!

I can't wait to see your entries!! Have fun and be creative!

The Sept Design Contest had some fabulous entries. Our theme for the Month was using the scarecrow pattern. The only Rules were to purchase the pattern and put your own creative spin on it and take a picture. Will all the great entries is was hard to pick winners. So I just made some random categories and then pick several at random to give anyone a chance to win some new patterns!!

Birthday Gift's Crocheters and Yarn Artists Would Love

I just wanted to say thanks so much for all the birthday wishes. Turning 30 is weird to me. I don't feel different but something about that number is troubling me! Oh well got to grow up sometime! LOL! 

I got some fun gifts. A few I bought for myself that I'd been eyeballing for a while! 

Check out this awesome bag my mom got me! It's from ThrityOne and I'm in love with it. I want to get a matching tote bag for all my crochet supplies. This is now my postage bag. They know me in the post office pretty well now and one of the regular mail ladies said it was a nice upgrade from the cardboard box I was using. LOL ! Something tells me it may get filled up with yarn though. 

I finally bought some really cute stitch markers. I know I don't need them. I usually use a safety pin or a contrasting color of yarn but these are just to adorable. I purchased these from Day by Day Crochet. I asked her to make me five that matched my logo colors and she did them perfectly! Aren't they lovely! They are very light weight and don't pull on stitches. I have them hooked on my crochet coffee cup pin cushion so I don't lose them. haha! 

This last gift I purchased myself is just for fun. It's a heart shaped yarn ball stamp with a crochet hook in it. I bought it from a cute shop called Hoffee and a Nuffin. She hand carves these herself. I thought it was great quality and turn around time was fast. You can find these and some other fun stamps in her etsy shop.

I picked up a rainbow colored ink pad and used my 2 inch circle punch with card stock and made these little thank you circles! I may just use it to add a special touch to my packages, but we'll see how crazy busy this fall/winter season gets! 

So if you know any crocheters or other yarn artists. These would make really great gifts if you don't know what to get them besides well yarn....but you can't have to much of that right?
