Fall Is Here - Let's Celebrate!
So, I'm loving the colder weather! It's around 65 in the mornings and it's only getting to 80 in the afternoons, which believe me - that's cooler in Alabama! To celebrate the advent of Fall, I'm giving away a tie and diaper cover set in TAN. I don't have any pictures yet of this one, so I'm shamelessly hoping whoever wins will send me a picture. :) To enter, post a comment with your favorite fall weather clothing item. I'll pick a winner later tonight using random.org. Good luck!

Getting Ready for Pike Road
Good morning! Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE to crochet? Like, I get soooo excited when I have a new project to make, almost as excited as I get for Christmastime, which is pretty dang excited. I'm beginning to collect ideas for a craft show I'm attending as a vendor in November in Pike Road, AL and I'm pumped about some of the things that I'll be making for it. I found this wonderful yarn (that my husband says is awful) and it's soooo soft and easy to work with! I think I'm going to make some earflap hats and some flower headbands out of it.
And then, there are the fun Auburn/Alabama hats to make! My husband had this awesome idea of making hats that look like the old-fashioned football helmets that each team wears, and I think they'll be a great hit. I made the first earflap hat for the School Spirit line a couple of days ago and here's my 6-year-old modeling it. I will probably do beanies and earflaps hats in a few different styles for each team, and I think they'll be cute.
I'm also working on some newborn gifts for a friend that will be super duper cute! After I get them worked up I'll post a few pictures of those. The stitch patterns on these new little things are absolutely beautiful and I'm looking forward to having pictures to post of these. Check back soon, and if you have any ideas for things you'd like to see at the craft show (or in the shop), leave a comment!

I'm learning a few things from participating in these Facebook and blogging giveaways:
1. It's a great way to make new friends and build new relationships.
2. There's some awesome stuff people are willing to give away for FREE!
3. Who knew there were so many insanely talented people out there?!? Wow. And what the heck is a photoshop action?
4. It's totally free marketing and a great way to leverage customer turnout. Some of these new fans do some pretty cool stuff, and it's so much fun to peep the things they've got on their Facebook pages and Etsy shops.
5. Maybe I'll do my own giveaway around 500 fans...maybe, maybe!
For now, this is what I'm donating to the cause:

It's Third Thursday!!!
Good morning, good morning! It's very early but already the discount code is up on Etsy to save you all 30% on your orders today! I'm excited about Third Thursday because I know we all love a great deal, and 30% off is a great deal!
On another note, I made these sweet little ballet slippers to go with the Soft Shells hat and diaper cover I made for a friend earlier in the week. I realized this morning that I forgot to put the shell edging on them, but they are super cute even without the edging I think! My one-year-old kept putting them on and taking them off this morning, and the 6-year-old wants all of us girls to have matching ones, haha! So sweet! They'll be posted to Etsy soon along with the pattern on how to make them. For now, enjoy the picture!
