#MBDD-Swag-Bag-Giveaway

Marly Bird Designer Dinner Swag Bag Giveaway

Well hello there, would you like a goodie?

#MBDD-Swag-Bag-Giveaway

Earlier today I shared with you that I have an extra swag bag from the Marly Bird Designer Dinner at the  trade show. Well, I am ready to give it to one of you!! It is full of wonders untold. Several hundred dollars worth of wonders untold; each bag varied a bit, so it’s hard to give an exact figure.

Tamara of Moogly also has one of the bags, and her giveaway runs from June 10th to June 17th. I will link it when it is up. That is 2 chances to win!!!!! Check the end of the post for the link. 🙂

TNNA 2015 Awesomeness

Hello!!! I have so much to share with you today. Before I go on (and on) (and on) about the TNNA summer needlearts trade show, I have a little business to tell you.

Summer schedule: This is going to be a crazy summer for my family and I. We have so many plans! I will not neglect you, I will still post at least 5 times a week. Considering all I want to share with you this summer, it may be more than that!! However, there will be some changes to what is posted when.
Thursdays will still be patterns ~ knit patterns on the first Thursday of the month, and crochet patterns on the remaining Thursdays.
Sundays will still be link blast on social media from 8 to 9 pm eastern time, with a compilation of the links posted here just after 9.
Wednesdays will still be pattern round ups, however, starting in a couple weeks they will each feature a specific designer. Sometimes they will include a coupon code and/or a giveaway for one or more pattern by the designer. They will not all be free patterns. Most of the designers I will be featuring have at least a few free patterns, and as long as they do, I will share some of the free patterns along with some sale patterns. I am REALLY excited about introducing you to other designers.
The rest of the week will be a variety of posts. Most will be yarn related, with some posts about my crazy summer adventures tossed in. There will be giveaways! Lots of giveaways! Some will be patterns from the designers I feature, but there will also be yarn and yarn related products. This summer is going to be a blast, and the fun is going to continue into the fall.

So, almost 2 weeks ago now, I went off to the Summer 2015 TNNA Needlearts Trade Show

Two Ways Drink Cozy

Drink cozies are awesome in the summer! They catch the condensation, keep you from freezing your hand on your cold drink, keep your drink cold, and act as a traveling coaster for your gatherings. These knit can or bottle cozies can also be made in a variety of colors or stripes so that no one wonders who’s drink is who’s. This is a double pattern, one worked in garter stitch, and one in stockinette stitch. The Two Ways Drink Cozy pattern is part of my Patriotic Party KAL.

I am finishing up my super exciting trip to the TNNA summer needlearts trade show! It has been a blast!! Oh the things I have to share with you. And not just words. There will be giveaways throughout the summer and hopefully some other fun things as well. So exciting!!!!

In the meantime, let’s take a look at some placemat ideas for your parties.

Big Trucks, Books, Yarn, and Other Fun

Hello my blogland friends! How was your weekend? We had a lot of fun over here. I’ve been working a lot, but this weekend I did find some time to play with the kiddos. Here is a little about what we did and some photos of the fun!

Some nights the girls like to read bedtime stories to each other. Kyla is a big fan of the Mo Willems books. Here she is with a big stack of them, reading to Vada.
