SUMMER SALE

During the entire summer save 15% on everything in my shop -- patterns and finished items. On the Etsy checkout page, click on the link that says "Apply shop coupon code" and then enter the coupon code SUMMER15 in the coupon code box that appears. Entering the coupon code in the notes to seller will not apply the discount (and therefore not reduce the fees that Etsy charges me). As a result, I can not honor the coupon code unless it is redeemed correctly. Thank you :)

New Crochet Pattern: Home Tweet Home

Here is a sneak peek of a new crochet pattern that I will be adding to my shop this week -- it's a birdhouse with 3 sweet little birds. It has been finished for a long time but it finally stopped raining enough for me to photograph it in good lighting. I have some other free patterns and new pattern that I need to find time to post. The baby came a couple of weeks earlier than I was planning so it is a little hectic around my house lately. I'll post the new stuff as soon as I can :)
