Falling in love with Beezy Mom's Creations

I have just recently discovered Beezy Mom's Creations by Olesya Pronyaeva, and I am in love! She sells her patterns on Ravelry, but if you plan on purchasing more than one, I would recommend going to her etsy store where she offers package discounts. I was able to purchase 6 of her patterns for only $20. Within hours of receiving the pdf files, I was off to the races. One of the soldiers in my husband's unit announced that his wife just gave birth to a boy. What is more perfect than creating a newborn polar bear hat for an Alaskan baby? I was delightfully surprised at how very quickly the hat worked up. I think adding the eyes, nose, and ears took longer than making the actual hat. I can make this hat in newborn all the way up to size 4, and if you don't want a polar bear, I can make a brown teddy bear instead. I also purchased her sleepy owl hat, giraffe hat and diaper cover, football hat, reindeer hat, and elf hat with bells! Expect to see some of these creations in my etsy store soon! Don't forget the discount code, ECHOFRIEND, for a 10% discount on your purchase (not including the shipping).

New Year, New Focus

Has it really been nearly a year since I last posted? Wow, how the time flies. Since my last post, I have moved twice. Been robbed twice. Lived through a Hurricane, a Tropical Storm, and an Earthquake. I have driven with my family and dog across the continent of North America, and I have reopened my Etsy shop! On top of moving from Virginia to Alaska, I am currently homeschooling my 7th and 9th grade children. Life is busy, but I love every moment of it. I am going to redirect this blog for my friends and family who would like to keep up with what I am doing with my homegrown business, Echoes in Thyme. If you are reading this blog, you are a friend. Here's a coupon code for my friends that will give you 10% off your entire purchase in my store: ECHOFRIEND. Now, between custom orders, homeschooling, and the holidays, my store looks a bit bare, but it won't be that way for long, so check back often. I love to create custom orders and always welcome requests. I appreciate each and every order I receive and I pour love and care into every stitch! Even the smallest purchase helps me to help my family. It enables me to stay home with my children. In January I will be starting the Master Knitter program. If I complete the entire program successfully, I will be one of only 255 in the entire world with that title! So, if nothing else, buy a piece of history in the making and you can say you knew me when. ;o) Here's a link to my store: www.etsy.com/shop/echoesinthyme. Please mention that you follow my blog in the comments section, and I will throw in an extra goody with your first purchase. Christmas is right around the corner! Hugs and Stitches, Kellie
