Jenny! Congrats! You won the bracelet from my giveaway! Sorry it took me so long to announce the winner. I’ve been super busy lately which leads to me being a terrible blogger :(

I do have a couple new things to show off. First, I was asked to do a custom order of 20 macrame bracelets. A bit different from my usual ones. I was asked to use these colorful beads from the American Girl crafts section at Michaels.

And I made myself a cactus. That’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while so I’m happy to have gotten it out of my system now! hehe :P

That’s all for now!

To celebrate the opening of my new Etsy shop, The Eclectic Squirrel, I’m giving away one of my macrame bracelets!

This bracelet is made with black cotton cord, a Howlite donut with Swarovski crystals beside it and at the ends of the cord. My macrame bracelets are designed to be girly & dainty. The bracelet is only about 1/4 inch wide. It has a sliding closure so it is adjustable. Slips over your hand. 6 inches when closed, adjusts to about 8 inches max.

To win this bracelet, take a peek at my shop, and then leave a comment on this entry to let me know what bracelet is your favorite (you can pick from the sold items too).

I’ll be accepting entries until Saturday, April 10th and will announce a winner shortly after.

Congrats Stephanie! You’re the winner of the little blue sea turtle! You’ll be recieving an email from me soon! :)

I was so excited to recieve 69 entries! Thank you to all who entered! I enjoyed reading all of the comments. It was good for me to see what people wanted to see more of from me. There were a few requests for tutorials/crochet lessons. This is something that I hope to have available soon. I started making a few video tutorials but still need to edit them before they’re ready. There was a request for knitting versions of my patterns. This is something that I would love to do at some point but at the moment, I don’t know how to knit well enough to write/design a knitting pattern. There were a lot of requests for more hat patterns! I have a few in the works! And thank you for all of the amigurumi ideas. There were some suggestions that I never would have thought of! :)

Thanks again for all of the entries! I hope you’ll continue reading my blog. I already have an idea for the next giveaway!

I thought it would be fun to start doing giveaways to liven up my blog!  For my first giveaway, you can win this cute little blue amigurumi sea turtle.

Want to win him? Just leave a comment letting me know what you would most like to see for sale on my website next. Any specific crochet pattern? More amigurumi? Plushies? Hats? anything!

I’ll be accepting entries until midnight (pacific time) on December 31st. I will use a random number generator to pick the winner. Be sure to leave your email address so I can contact you if you win.
