Tracking Santa
| December 25, 2008 | Filled under Holidays, Kids |
We’ve spent last eve tracking Santa and watching pictures and videos
of the cities as he was visiting them. You still can go to the site and take
a look at all pictures. Santa visited Seattle at around 11 PM, sneaked in
our house unnoticed and left few presents near our Christmas Tree.
Everybody is excited, especially Kristin 🙂
Merry Christmas!!

… Just finished this sweater as a gift for my friend’s son. Can’t wait
to see it in person! This sweater features the detachable sleeves by
invisible nylon snaps and can be worn as vest too.
And a funny thing is that my Kristin felt in love with crazy frog applique
and asked me to create something for her with this applique too. Well,
I promised… 🙂
Happy weekends to everyone!
Fruits or vegetables… Contest time
| December 9, 2008 | Filled under Giveaway |
… decisions… decisions… Could you please help me? ;o) Any opinions will
count and much appreciated!
I’ve got several requests to continue work on my fruit collection and sure
never don’t mind and so glad to add a couple more! Also, some time ago
I was asked for a vegetables collection, which sounds interesting too, but
I should make a choice, because not sure I’ll have a chance to complete
both. So, my questions are:
1. What’s your favorite: fruits or vegetables? … Or you’d like them both?
2. If fruits, which ones you want to see in my knit/crochet designs (so far
I have strawberry, watermelon, pineapple, cherries and 3-4 in mind).
3. If vegetables, which ones and do you think it may be some sweaters,
jackets designs too?
And now for contest. I am offering a free Surprise Euro
yarn basket and a $50 Gift Certificate to my Shop, Etsy
or eBay in exchange for your opinion! You must enter
the contest by Tuesday, December 16, 2008 midnight by
PST time. The winner will be randomly picked up and
notified on Wednesday, December, 17th.
Hugs, Alla
