Merry Christmas to me Part 7

I have started to get some Christmas goodies in the mail from my dear friends, so I thought to start sharing them with you and make you drool! 

You do know how much I love my friends at the Trading post, not only for the goodies that I can trade for, but for all the love they send to me every day. 

 Each Christmas we do a Secret Santa gift exchange, meaning we create a list of people who want to participate and our organizer will match us randomly. 

I got to be the Secret Santa for Cindy at Seabreezejewels and I was delighted to send her my new product to test: reusable swiffer pads  

 My Secret Santa instead, was Nel from yesterdaytrunk that sent me some lovely vintage crochet magazine and instructional books and delicate napkins 

Download my patterns!

Yes people, from now on you don't have to wait for me to email you my pattern, you're welcome to purchase them and download them right after. 

How cool is that?? Way cool I say, so go and check out Little Cupcakes on Craftsy and find something you love :)

Happy 2011!!

 

Hi there to all, this is Lu. Here it is newsletter #16.

Another year is behind us and I hope 2011 will be full of wonderful things for all!

I have many many things to tell you!!



What happened?



After 10 months of hiatus I decided to re-open my Etsy shop and re-lauch it in another direction: I'm proud to announce that some of my patterns are available for sale and I will be adding more in the next months.

Free patterns and tutorials will be available every week on my ArtFire blog. Check it out and watch out for video support coming soon!



Take a pick of my 50% off sale and take advantage of hot prices! The money will go to support a dieing Arfire artisan. You can read about the details on my blog.



Least, but not last, if you are an Etsy seller and you'd like to promote your shop and your blog, me and Cori from Blue Eyed Blessings are hosting a blog hop every Wednesday.

Come and join us!

Featuring hollanddesigns

I've know many crochet designer in my year at Etsy, but no one is talented like Lisa at hollanddesigns where you can find the most beautiful and sweet patterns for every taste and very affordable.
I just want one of each!

Let's know Lisa more in details:

I learned to crochet when I was 5 years old and grew up playing with balls of yarn and making gifts for family and friends. To this day I absolutely love going to the yarn shop; it makes me giddy!

I began to design "officially" in my early 20s and have published several baby afghan patterns in such magazines as Crochet World, Crochet Fantasy, Crochet Home & Holiday, plus a couple Annie's Attic publications.

I am originally from Wisconsin, but now live near Auckland, New Zealand. My husband is a Dutch/Kiwi, having been born in NZ, but having also lived in Holland for several years. We've been married 2 years and have a little baby girl, Holland Grace, who models many of my designs. I am now a stay-at-home mom and crochet/design in my spare time.

My blog, "The Life of a Crochet Designer" is viewable at

"She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands." (Prov 31:13)

She's also the amazing designer behind the slippers than I'm proud to sell in my shops.
So, don't waste any more time, go check her shop out! If you're a crocheter you'll enjoy making her patterns and if you're not a crocheter...well, you might ask Lisa to sell you a finished product or she will refer you to somebody that can accommodate you!
