Shop of the Week - CROCHET MEDLEY

I'm pleased to share my friend Erin's shop with you this week!  Erin owns Crochet Medley, a crochet shop (obviously) where she sells an awesome variety of hand-crocheted goodies!  She has a little something for everyone in the family in her shop!  I have purchased a few things from Crochet Medley over the past 2 years & the quality of her work is excellent!

SHOP: www.erinmedley.artfire.com

FB:  www.facebook.com/crochetmedley

She sells a wide variety of amigurumi animals... I'm wasn't always a huge fan of crocheted animals, but hers are super cute & the details are amazing!!

 One of my favorite items from her shop are these fun button necklaces. They're perfect for girls of all ages & she can customize them in any colors!

She also sells beanies, scarves, cloths, cozies, and more!  

Take a few minutes & browse Erin's shop!  I'm sure you'll see lots of stuff you'll love!

She loves custom orders, too!

Weekly Wrap Up

I'm now 37 weeks pregnant, so I'm not doing much of anything these days.  I'm not terribly uncomfortable, but I'm definitely unmotivated.  This "nesting" thing everyone keeps talking about has NOT happened to me at all.  Oh well.  I did manage to get some orders mailed out this week, of course!  And I had a little extra time to make some new hats & work on a new pattern!

This is the newest hat in my collection.  It's called the Swivel Beanie.  THIS exact hat is (so far) still available in the RTS sale on my AC fan page!  The pattern will be available "soon"...

I've been making Golf Visors for over a year now, but I finally just sat down and typed up the pattern.  The pattern is available HERE... or you can customize one HERE.

 I didn't post an update, but the Summer Rose Beanie pattern was released last week...  it's a great hat for summer & is available in all sizes.  Pattern available HERE.

Shop of the Week - DIAMOND BOTTLE CAP DESIGNS

I just love seeing all of these bottle caps being up cycled into really cute stuff these days!  This week's SOTW belongs to a friend of mine who customizes some really great things using them!  Teri from Diamond Bottle Cap Designs creates wine glass charms, pet ID tags, key chains, magnets, badge reels, and more!  She's very friendly & loves custom orders, too!

SHOP:  www.diamondbottlecap.etsy.com

FB:  www.facebook.com/diamondbottlecap

I love these pet ID tags!  They're cuter (and cheaper) than the custom ones you can buy at most pet stores... and she will customize them with your favorite color, font, address, phone number, etc.  Plus, you know they're lightweight, so they're perfect for small dogs/cats too!

Save the date magnets.  Better than those small cards that will probably just get tossed out anyway...

Promotional keychains for your business.  They're really nice, don't you think!?  Great idea!  I might need some of these in the near future, Teri... I'll be in touch.  :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all moms!  

I'm proud that these 2 little monkeys call me Mommy.

I love them so much & I can't wait for their baby brother to join the family, too!

I hope all of you moms out there are having a fabulous, relaxing day!

Please enjoy 15% off of your entire purchase today at www.crazysockscrochet.com AND www.ameliacalvin.com with coupon code MOM15.

Shop of the Week - HAFF IT YOUR WAY

This week's featured shop is Haff It Your Way.  The owner & crocheter is a good friend of mine... Shala is a hard-working, fellow army wife, SAHM of 2.  Her hats & creations are made with love, and she loves custom orders!  Please take a minute to check out her fan page & shop!

FB:  www.facebook.com/haffityourway

SHOP:  www.haffityourway.bigcartel.com

This sack hat is one of my favorite items from her shop.  So cute & colorful!

Drop by her page & tell her I said hi!  :)
