Art Yarn and a Give Away!

February 8th, 2010 / 3 Comments » / by mandyadmin

To promote my new Art Yarn of the Month Club this weeks give away will be some fun art yarn! Every day this week I will be posting a new art yarn that I have made and all you have to do is leave a comment to get in the drawing. That means if you leave a comment every day you will get your name in every day! Also, the same goes from last week. If you purchase something out of the shop you will get in 2 more times. Or if you purchase a YOTMC subscription you will get your name in 3 more times.

Here is the yarn you will win this week…

Some fun coiled yarn.

Is Your Tongue Numb? Art yarn based on Fox in Sox. I embroidered these little signs and then spun them into the yarn. There are also a few felt socks in there too.

Go ahead and leave a comment now, but don’t forget to come back for the rest of the week and check out some new yarn.

Cheers!-mandy

Here We Go…

February 2nd, 2010 / 8 Comments » / by mandyadmin

Okay friends there is a lot going on this month so get ready.

Stay tuned over the month because there will be changes throughout.  Right now we are changing the look and feel of things so don’t be surprised if it changes a little every time you stop by.

Now for the fun stuff. I will be having give aways all month! Pay attention so you can win something.

Every week there will be something up for grabs. To get  your name into the hat all you have to do is leave a comment on that post for the week.  You could also get in an additional 2 times if you purchase something from my etsy shop. (where everything is on sale for now.)You could get yourself in an additional 3 times if  you purchase a subscription to the Yarn of the Month Club for you or for someone else.

It doesn’t end there.  Anyone from the beginning of January to the end of March who purchases a subscription to the Yarn of the Month Club will be entered to win one month free. So all new members will be put in a separate hat to win one free month of yarn!

Oh, and it doesn’t end there!  Any time your name gets put in hat for anything above your name will get put in a third hat to win the Ultimate gift of a 3 month subscription to the Yarn of the Month Club!  That’s a $60 value!

This weeks fun free gift is a Valentine’s Surprise Package! I will give you a few photo hints over the week but I won’t show the whole thing until after I mail it. Leave a comment on this post to have your name put in the hat. Of course you will also be added to the Ultimate YOTMC hat too!

Let me know if you have any questions! -mandy

Tortilla

January 26th, 2010 / 5 Comments » / by mandyadmin

Have you ever seen this stuff before?

We use tortillas for everything so it’s nice to try new things every once in awhile. So, sometimes I make some from this Quaker mix. All you do is add water and wait a few minutes. Then you can roll them out and cook them on a skillet. Very fast. Very easy. You can kind of make them however you want too, which is nice. They can be thick or thin. I like to make small thick ones for stuff like fajita fixings.  What do you like to put in your tortilla? -mandy

Interweb

On Wednesday we and the rest of Iowa were being bombarded with a nice winter ice storm. Mediacom was down all over so we didn’t have internet connection all night. I did not think this was a huge deal because I really don’t use the computer that much.  I check my mail, write on my blog(sometimes), and check facebook every once in awhile, but that’s about it. For the most part. What I realized the other night though is how many times I will do something small on the computer, something so small that I don’t even realize how much I use it. If I want to look something up, geographically, or a word, or a company, or product. There was probably 8-10 different times where I wanted to look something up quick and had to remind myself I couldn’t. Then the time came where I wanted to look up a word. Guess what? I had to look all over my bookshelf to find a dictionary! Who knew? A real paper dictionary full of paper pages. Crazy. Do you still have a real dictionary on hand? Do you know where it is? -mandy

Here are Harriet’s friends that I told you about a couple of weeks ago. She put them all to bed in a laundry basket all lined up on a doll quilt.

Celebrate!

One reason why Birthdays are so fun. The Food!
