As Promised, A Great Giveaway!

I've done giveaways in the past but since this is a fresh-start to my formerly lack-luster blog, I'm going to be making this one extra special.  I have high hopes for this blog, and this year in general.  I'm looking more into how I can become a stay at home mom, and even though that may not be attainable in the near future, the success of my Etsy shop is critical in keeping my growing family in food, clothes and essentials.  It helps pay the bills and keeps us afloat in a sea of endless bills, car repairs and other 'emergencies'.

I'd like to be able to give something back.  I don't only crochet for profit.  Its a great way to express a lot of creativity that I don't have another outlet for, and I love being able to pick of a hook and a wad of string and know that something beautiful can come from it.  With that said, I'll soon be offering Gift Certificates at BJC on Etsy, and the very first one will be given away right here!  Gift Certificates are easy to use, and can be used toward anything in my shop, including ready-to-ship items, patterns, and custom orders! 





Gift Certificate can be used toward any pattern, item or custom order, including sale items.  Instructions for how to redeem the Gift Certificate included with the Gift Certificate.  Not valid at any other Etsy or online Shop.  Must be used within 1 year of purchase/prize date or available funds will be lost.

*UPDATE 1/15/12:  My Shop has moved to Artfire!  Gift Certificate will be for my new ArtFire shop (all the same items and prices as Etsy, just a different name!)

Please tell your friends, families or any new or expecting mommies you might know!  I can make anything for any size but babies and tots are my favorite customers to please!  $25.00 is enough for mary janes and a matching headband, or a ton of patterns, or an owl hat... tons of stuff!


• Become a follower of this blog (1 entry)
• Become a fan of my FB page (1 entry)
• BONUS ENTRY:  Ask me a crochet-related question that I can blog about!  Ever wonder how to do a certain stitch, or have a technical question?  I'd love to be able to answer it if I can!  
IMPORTANT!  For each entry, post it in a separate comment on this blog post.  Multiple entries made in one comment will only count as one entry.





• US and International Guests eligable, but please consider that shipping charges are more for international packages, so the usable value of the Gift Certificate for actual 'stuff' will be less for international customers
• Gift Certificate will be mailed to you with instructions on how to use it





Deadline for Entries is Friday, January 20th.  Winning entry will be selected at random Saturday, January 21st and will be contacted that day.  Winner will have until Saturday, January 28th to reply or a new winner will be choosen January 29th.

See you soon!

  5. Thank you for the chance to win! I have been working on a butterfly hat pattern for awhile now. I have a problem with my tension and am trying to hide my joins all the way down so that when I get to the butterfly portion of the hat, you can't see all the joins up the hat. Do you have any advice? Thank you!

  6. I was wondering if you could show the meaning of various stitches in crochet patterns. Most patterns take it for granted that we know all the basic stitches but how would a beginner start. I know how to do basic stitches with a hook but I don't know which is called what. I guess I'm asking for some sort of super basic cheat sheet.

  7. Hello, from Greece. I've purchased a pattern for mary jane shoes today and look forward to start crocheting. I wanted to buy a pair of mary janes but the shipping cost is too high for my country so I 've desided to give it a try and make one of my own. I've read the pattern and looks very detailed (nice job)though I would prefer if you had included more photos (a close-up of the sole etc). I am downloading from etsy some additional photos to help me with the stitches.
    Anyway, you've done a great job and I wish your sells on Etsy to reach 10000 and more...
