Its my Etsyversary! (Giveaway Time!)

I listed my first item on Etsy around September 15, 2009. Its already been a year . . . and what a year its been! I've learned listing strategies, started using twitter, learned about and complied with CPSIA guidelines, discovered that I don't make enough to be a business (great news at tax time . . . lol!), bought too much yarn, made tons of friends, started my fan page, and bought lots of homemade goodies! Its been super fun! I can't wait to see what this year brings!

So, in honor of my first year, lets do a giveaway! The 1st place prize is super fun . . . are you ready? . . . its 20% off all your orders until September 15, 2011. Woo hoo! 2nd place is free shipping to the US and Canada on all your orders until September 15, 2011 (international customers will recieve $2.00 off shipping costs on each order instead). 3rd place wins a free hair accessory or pair of booties . . . your choice of item and color scheme.

In addition, there will be extra listings this week, sales, and more! Ready to enter the giveaway? Here's how. (each option is worth one entry - please comment with each entry)

A baby gift . . .

Some of you know, its the year of the baby in my extended family . . . so many babies! I think (haven't heard for sure - other than they were being induced!) that my cousin and his wife had a new baby boy last week! They live in a place known for cold winters, so I made him this little hat.

Love, love, love little baby hats!

For Triplets . . .

When my facebook friends heard about my new tiny twin nieces, they came out in full force with words of encouragement. One even found some hand-me-down preemie clothes for the little ones (who knew preemie clothes were so hard to find?!?). To thank the woman who is donating clothing that belonged to her triplets, I've made a set of booties for them!
For a boy . . .

For another boy . . .

And for her girl!

awww . . . I can just imagine all those little feet . . . man, that's a lot of baby! Thank you!

The Whale Beanie

I've had an idea to put a whale on a sun hat, and i got the perfect opportunity to practce my whale stitching skills on this custom order!
The whale has a hand stitched grin, eye, and spout of water.

Light blue with white stripe and edging to add interest to the body of the hat.

Thanks for having me make this, Meagan!

Etsy Sweethearts - Wee Bee Uniques by Julie

Remember I told you I'd been the lucky recipient of some unexpected and very sweet gifts from my new friends? Well, Julie of Wee Bee Uniques had me pick out a couple favorites from her shop as a gift to Big Mac! She also sent shedding snakes for Crazy Pants, but he must love them a lot because he hid them from me and won't let me take a picture. lol! Here's my baby in his brown bear hat with orange stripes . . .
This is only his fourth or fifth time trying on a hat, so forgive the confused expression!

And this is the photo prop hat we picked. Isn't it sooooo cute? Big Mac has an extraordinary noggin (96th percentile!) and my hubby loves these hats so much, he told me not to hand them down to another baby, but keep them for the next. He's a fan of Julie's now for sure!
