Giveaway and pictures!

The last couple of months have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to update the blogging world with my turn of products!

I'd like to introduce my new products now. Be sure to read this entire post, as the details of the upcoming giveaway will be at the bottom!

How cute are they!? And there are so many more that don't have pictures yet! Ladybugs, Aggie's, Giraffes, Elephants, Bears and more!

To the Giveaway....

There are only 6 Gardners Markets left, and then I won't be "seen" again until Novemberfest!

To celebrate Sweet Kiwi Crochet's wonderful first year at the Gardners Market I've decided that at the end of the Market, October 16th, I will do a drawing for a free hat! Any animal, any size.

Ways to Enter:

1. Leave a comment! This will get you ONE entry into the drawing. You may only enter this way once. Please leave your name and email address.

2. Come to the Gardners Market on any Saturday and enter at the booth! There will be entry forms there, and you can enter once a week. That means you could have 6 entries this way! If you'd like to buy a hat at the market, by all means do! If you go on to win the drawing but have already purchased the hat you like just let me know and I'll reimburse you your cost!

3. Make a purchase from my Etsy shop. Each purchase will qualify you for an admission to the drawing. Keep in mind, the animal hats are not yet posted to the website. If you would like one, please email me the animal and the age of the person who will be wearing it. I will then email you a link to my Etsy Shop with your personal listing. You can pay online and I'll mail you your hat!

Keep in mind that there are a couple of patterns listed on the site, and they will also qualify you for an entry.

A winner will be announced the evening on October 16th!

Instructions?

Something I've been toying around with is posting tutorials on this blog for people who want to crochet. I have a feeling that putting something like this together would take a long time though, so I don't want to go to a lot of work if people aren't interested!

Any opinions?

Any interest?

Input please!

Lumberjack hats have arrived!

My brothers have been wanting these hats for some time now, and I finally got around to making them.

They're quite amazing if I do say so myself!

So without further ado, my brothers in their hats!

Lumberjack hats are now available in my Etsy Shop!

Tired and ready for bed...But first, more pictures!

Working two jobs and crocheting for a couple of hours a day is exhausting! However, I wanted to post some pictures before I head to bed tonight!

Mention that you follow this blog and headbands are yours for $5 rather than $8!

Finally got a new computer!!!

It's been a long time coming, but Husby and I went out a bought a new computer today!

For the last 6 weeks we have been stuck with one computer that will get on the internet but do nothing else, and another computer incapable of getting on the internet.

It hasn't been fun.

But all of that is over now! Look forward to much more blogging, a lot more pictures, and a completely updated Etsy shop!

Yesterday I had my first photoshoot! My amazing parents spent 2 hours taking pictures for me, and while I haven't been able to see many of the pictures yet, I have stolen some unedited ones from my mom! So without further ado, some of my new products, hitting the Etsy shop this week...

Because of bad weather, I did not make it to the Farmers Market today. To be honest, this is probably a good thing, as I've been very stressed out working 2 jobs and trying to create enough stuff for the market each week! The new headbands have been a huge seller, and I can't seem to keep them in stock! So now I have a whole week to get ahead!

The other nice thing about this extra time I have is that I can finally start working on something I have been promising my younger brother for months. It will hopefully be complete tomorrow and I will get photo's shot this week. If all goes well, it could be in my Etsy shop next weekend...Ready for a hint on what it is?...

Any guesses?..And no, it's not just a mustache

Give AWAY!!!

Hey Everyone! I'm having a give-away for a free$15 gift certificate for my Etsy shop!

Go over to the Simply Utah blog for entry details!

Etsy Friday!

So many great shops to choose from this week!

The shop I picked today is one I've had some favorited items at for a while, and I've been wanting to share!

I have crazy thick hair.

Sometimes I love it, and sometimes I don't. When I found Bonnie's shop, I decided that I hate my hair because it makes it so hard for me to wear the cute hair clips like the ones she has!

Aren't those flowers awesome!?

And she has more!

Rings...

Earrings...

And necklaces, bracelets and keychains too!

Check out her shop here or her blog here!

A new project I can't post!

I have this fun new project I've been dying to post pictures of for days, but my computer is on the fritz! I will give you a hint...

It's based on this:

Pictures to come...

Etsy Friday!

I found a great shop this week, and the best part is, they come from my neck of the woods!

Annie and her sister Andrea have created this awesome shop with darling chore charts, growth charts and cute canister labels!

My favorite thing thing in their shop is definietly the "My Jobs" charts with magnet "jobs"! What a fun idea for kids!

But Annie and Andrea aren't done! They have a great blog called Simply Home & Family where they share cute decor, craft ideas, and awesome recipes!

Check them out!

A blogger after my own heart!

If anyone ever looks at my personal blog, oster-ize.blogspot.com, you would know that last night I blogged about my love for Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs! Well today I found out that I am not the only one with this obsession! Simply Design changed my life today when she blogged a recipe for the eggs!! Don't these look amazing! Check her out, and try out the recipe!

Give Away Coming Up!

I wanted let everyone know that I have a give-away from my Etsy shop coming up over at Simply Utah on Monday, April 12. I'll announce the prize as soon as I get confirmation from the give-away people!

Cheers!

I sold another Hat!!

I promise not to post every time I sale something, but these first couple of sales are really exciting!

Etsy Friday!

I love clocks! Little ones, Giant ones, alarm clocks, everything! I found the greatest clock shop on Etsy last week, and I am now determined to redecorate a room so I can buy one of these clocks! Etsy Friday's shop is...

I've never had the patience to crochet a doily, althought I think they are beautiful! Brenda Rose at "And Furthermore" makes doily clocks out of reclaimed materials like cork, plastic and wood.

Check out "And Furthermore" here.

New Photo's!

My cousin, Megan, sent me some great new pictures today and I'm so exited to share them! You can check her out here. Her site is currently under construction, but follow her now and you'll know when she's back up and running!
