Better than Farmville

It's been a busy month here at LikeClochework! Last weekend I was in charge of a Mother's Day craft show at Studio B and this weekend I will be at my friend Donna's farm fest! Actually, I've been doing quite a bit to help get ready for the festival, and I can heartily vouch for it being a wonderful event. There will be lots of animals (including lambs and newborn twin goats!), games and pony rides for the kids, food, farmers, and artisans. I'll be selling my hats as well as Donna's signature handmade, all natural soaps and lotions, and we're also featuring local jewelers, potters, glass artists, and even a local yarn and fabric shop. And a spinning demo! Ya'll better be there.

Today I am sending a package to Alaska, which makes me laugh because Mr. LC and I just watched a Discovery Channel special on how everything in Alaska wants to KILL YOU. I've come to the conclusion that Alaska is the United States' version of Australia, except there are real wolves instead of dingos and grizzlies instead of crocodiles. So, I hope my package makes it, and I hope my recipient survives long enough to wear it. If the avalanches don't get her, the mosquitos might...


The latest version of my "Pamela" hat, the bucket.

Am I blue?

In the air...

After all of the snow in February, we are finally in the midst of a glorious "warm" streak here in eastern Pennsylvania. The temperature has been in the 50s, the breeze has been light, and the birds are coming home and singing away on my rooftop. Hope springs anew!

Speaking of new, I have been hard at work on designs for spring and summer. In the past week I released two new hats: the "Pamela" summer cloche with buttons and the "Millie" slouch beanie. They are already posted in my Etsy shop and will also arrive at Hello Bluebird soon!

New items and a GIVEAWAY!

Happy one-year birthday to LikeClochework! In celebration, I am introducing two new items and running my second giveaway. I'm also running a sale in my Etsy shop with free gifts and free shipping. I am also offering a FREE HAT to the first person who gets me to the front page of Etsy (see details here).

NEW ITEMS
Introducing the "Pamela" flapper hat! This retro-inspired cutie is named after my mother, for whom - after much complaining and teasing on her part - I promised to name my next creation. Here it is, mom!



Also officially joining my repertoire is the "Flower Scarf," so named because you can roll this lacey lovely up into a flower. It looks lovely on your dresser when not in use.




GIVEAWAY
Oh yes, the giveaway! It's quite simple, really: Leave a comment on this post and you will automatically be entered to win one of my new "Flower" scarves. You have until February 22 at midnight (EST), after which my husband will pull a name from a hat. The winner will be announced the following day. That's it! Now go eat some cake and enjoy my birthday!
