August Break, the 29th

I busted out the Knifty Knitter for a new project today.... This is just round one (aka not what I wanted), but I am loving the results so far!

August Break, the 28th

Matt and I worked in the new garden today.  I looked up from where I was pulling weeds and mixing dirt and compost and saw the kitten just like this.


Oh what I wouldn't give to relax like that and have no qualms about it!

August Break, the 24th

The giveaway is still open -- check it out!

A few months ago we had a Mary Kay makeover night at Bible Study (well, in lieu of...).  I thought I would share my before and afters today.  :)

Messy hair, major breakout, uneven skin tone (yes, I ruffled my hair to make it an even better "before" picture, I also tried to look sad and pathetic.  You should see the outtakes haha)

Even skin tone, eyes popping, hair fixed.  What wonders a little makeup can do.
It is funny because I look at these pictures and immediately see the flaws.... there's my big nose... that's too much lipstick... my eyebrows look funky.  Instead, I need to look at them and think of the beautiful creature that God made me to be - awesome blue eyes, long hair (even tho it is hidden), sparkle in my eyes, etc.  Remember, we are each beautifully and wonderfully made!  Oh yeah, and happy hump day!

Giveaway

Okay.  So I do not know what the deal is.  Yesterday I thought that I had offered up a sweet giveaway.  But maybe my intro paragraph threw everyone off (about a winner for the crochet along).  I dunno.  Regardless, I'm  hosting a giveaway right now.  Anyone can win. It is for a coffee cozy from my shop.  I think that is a sweet deal, right?  So, go check it out.  And maybe I will stop feeling like everyone hates me and no one has picked me for kickball! haha

Ps. I am posting this so it will show up in all of your readers.  hehehehe

-------------------

8/30/2011:  It seems like comments may not be working, so you can totally email me your entries!  Just click on to my email through "view my complete profile."  Good luck!

-----------------

8/24/2011:  I have no idea why, but not a one of you has commented on this giveaway... and you can totally win.  So I am reposting in hopes that you find it.  And that I stop feeling like you all do not like me. I'm nice, I swear.  And there is no gimmick.  I just wanted to brighten up your day with a giveaway.  So go ahead... leave a comment for a chance to win a cozy!!  Anyone can win.  See that?  This is not just for the crochet along participants.  Invite your friends to play too.  There are 6 whole days left!!

-----------------

8/23/2011:  Hello again!  I hope you all enjoyed your 40% off coupon yesterday-- you actually have a couple more hours left to use it.  Anywho, a couple months ago I said I would give something away to someone who entered my Patriotic Crochet Along.  I was trying to decide what to give.  I was thinking about making a patriotic cozy, and then just got busy.  So, I will give the winner of that giveaway their choice of a patriotic cozy (which I still have to make) or another cozy in my shop.  You (crochet alongers) do not have to do anything to enter, you are entered just by participating.  However, you can enter the second giveaway, for a second chance to win!

Just one of the coffee cozies that you could win-- it's winner's choice!
So, you did not enter the crochet along and you still want to enter.  What shall you do?  Merely leave me a comment with an idea of what I should make next for my shop.  Autumn colored cozies? A certain pattern or fabric for coasters?  You can also let me know what kind of patterns you would like to see on here.  I have created my own patterns for a French Press Cozy, Ladybug Hat, and a Bella Beanie.  There are a few extra ways too... let's get technical.  The prize is one coffee cozy from my shop.

Here's the skinny:
  1. One entry for a comment detailing what you want to see in my shop or a new pattern that you would like to try.
  2. Another entry if you are a follower -- just leave a comment letting me know that you are!
  3. Extra entry for tweeting about the giveaway (leave a comment).
  4. Lastly, you get five entries if you or someone you referred buys something from my shop.  Once you hear about it or buy an item, just leave five comments!
Good luck to all!  Contest closes on Tuesday, August 30 at noon, PST.

Midsummer Doily

Looking for the giveaway?  It's here.  :)

Anywhoozle, I think that it is pretty sweet that I finished a doily entitled "Midsummer Moon," right as summer is dwindling down.  Wait, who am I kidding?  It is definitely mid-summer in So Cal!!  haha


The pictures are not the greatest, but they are taken (at 10:30 last night)!  So there.  One more pattern down, only way too many  more for me to think about!  And yes, I have like 100 projects on my hooks right now! haha



I wasn't sure if I liked the crazy colors at first, but it is starting to look good to me.  It is not as florescent as it looks in the pictures though, more pastel.  It is going in our Easter bin.  As always, you can check out the original page with pattern link here (Midsummer Moon, Sept 25).  And yes, this counts as my August Break photo for today.  Deal.
