A Sale and a Contest!

Mar 31

So, tomorrow it is April.  That means a few things.  First, it means my big Boy is almost 4 years old!  Hard to believe . He was such a peanut as a baby.

The Day Beeba 1 came home from the hospital.

But, here he is this past Halloween with his little sister (who will be 2 in may… yikes!)

We had a thomas the train and a little ladybug. Geez they got big.

Anyway… April means other things too.  It means the weather is warming up, and it means April Fool’s day.  it also means I am all the more close to having the next baby.  And these last two things are where this post is heading.

So, the SALE.

Tomorrow only, on April 1, I am offering a sale at my Etsy Shop.  Mention in your purchase notes April Fool’s, and I will give you a random discount between 10%-20% off from your purchase (not including shipping) which will be refunded via paypal.  I will be using Random.org to determine the discount, so that means that everyone has as much chance at the 20% as the 10%. I kind of thought it was a fun idea.

Then, the CONTEST.

Being that as of this week, I am 32+ weeks pregnant… I though maybe we could play a little game.  The only requirement to this game is that you are a member of my ravelry group (its not hard to join, go here).

Now, once you have joined the ravelry group, Comment either there in the thread I will create for this contest, and tell me these things:

1. Do you think I will have a boy, or a girl, this time? (I have one of each right now)

2. What day and time do you think baby will be born? (I am due on May 23, and for reference, I went a little late with my DS, and a week late with DD.)

That’s it.  Join the group and post your answers to those questions.  the person (or persons, if there are a couple that are super close and I am feeling generous when the time comes) will win a prize… the winner may tell me preferences as to yarn, fiber, or stitch markers, and general color preferences, but I will choose something special.  I promise that the value of the prize will be no less than $15.

I will say that the winner should expect to be patient, however, since I will be making a prize specially for that person, and will have a brand new baby, it will probably take longer than usual to get it sent out.

This Contest will run from now till the end of April.  I hope to see lots of contestants.  And hey, once you are a member of the group, why not stick around and chat a bit?

A few notes from me…

Mar 3

Posted by Theresa in CCFibers, Crafting, Family | No Comments

Well, the money is sent, and my new CPW (yes, it is mine now, as soon as the money is received anyway) will be on its way to me very soon.  I am getting more and more excited to see it.

On a more personal note, I am 28 weeks pregnant this week.  Officially in the third trimester, and getting a little nervous.  Not about the birth, but about being ready, and how my fiber business will hold up against the needs of 3 children.

I know that I will keep on persevering, and I hope that my customers will continue to shop with me.  I am planning to take a couple weeks at least for a break from most aspects of the business, particularly the carding and dyeing aspects.  But I will still get any orders during that time shipped within normal times, that I promise.  and, if I am able to build up some stock between now and then, I will attempt to keep listing new items as often as possible.

During the few weeks surrounding the birth of my third child, my plan is to rest, and enjoy the new babe as much as possible.  (knowing that I will have enough interruptions from the older children)  I hope that within a couple weeks I will be back to carding and dyeing as usual, and I even hope to run a spin along on my ravelry group beginning sometime in mid- to late- June.

Which leads to another topic.  Did you know that Crystal City fibers now has a ravelry group?   I set it up so that customers and friends will have a place to show off their WIPs (works in progress) and FOs (Finished Objects).  Also, I would love to begin in the future to do some spin alongs, or even fiber clubs.  I thought the group might be a good place to gauge interest.

Right now, the group is pretty small, having only been established early this week.  But, Come on over and join us, and it will be one person larger.

To join or visit the group, go to Crystal City Fibers Ravelry Group.  All are welcome!

I don’t have any new pictures to share today.  I posted my newest pictures on Friday, and while I intend to take some more pictures this afternoon, and to continue with yesterday’s carding session, I just don’t have any for now.  But I promise to have new pictures on Friday, as usual, and I hope you’ll stop by then!
