You Like Free Stuff, Right?

I am hosting a giveaway from my humble little Etsy shop over at Just Another Manic Momday. If you want to win a handmade goodie made from my nimble, little fingers then head over to Amy's blog and enter the giveaway.

Happy Thanksgiving (Giveaway Winner)

It is a glorious, warm morning here in our neck of the woods. We are watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and spilling Cheerios all over the floor. There are pumpkin rolls to bake and eggs to devil, but for now, we are taking our time easing into this Thanksgiving.


When I got Beatrice up this morning, I told her that I was thankful for her. She said, "Dada?" I told her yes, Dada was thankful for her too. "What are you thankful for, Beatrice?" "Bobo." Bobo is her stuffed monkey. I suppose I would be thankful for Bobo too, if I had one.

Random.org has declared commenter #24 the winner of the Christmas POM hat. Kate said, "hi aly! love your blog (and your darling hats, too)! happy thanksgiving to you and yours!" Kate, email me at alysbloggityblog [at] gmail [dot] com and let me know what size hat you need and if you prefer red and white stripes with green trim or green and white with red. Thanks to everyone that participated. 


Beatrice is extra defiant and testy today (no one told me that would start at 1) so I must tend to her. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

A Thankful Giveaway

Every now and then, I crochet some things for craft fairs. I make a bazillion hats and hope that they all sell, otherwise I have a bazillion hats lying around. There was a fair this past weekend and I sold several, however got stuck with some Christmas pom hats. I just proofread this as "Christmas PORN hats." I guarantee you I have never made Christmas porn anything. Especially not hats. These:

Since it is Thanksgiving week and I'm feeling generous, I am giving away one of these festive POM hats to a random commenter. If you want to enter twice, like me on Facebook (look at the top right of the sidebar) and leave a comment telling me that you did. Although probably not as fun as porn hats (whatever those are), these Christmas hats will look awfully cute on a little (or big) head this holiday. I will draw a winner via random.org on Thanksgiving Day.
