Christmas Cards?! Too Early!!?

Yeah, I know it's only October, but I've started putting together my Christmas card list! And like last year, I'm willing to send anyone a Christmas card, wherever you are in the world :) And like before, I won't use your address to send you junk mail or anything. I just love snail mail lol!

So, if you would like me to send you a cute Christmas card, simply send me your postal address and I'll send you one towards the end of November :) I'd email your address to me rather than comment with it below (Esshaych@hotmail.co.uk), as you don't want everyone seeing your address lol!

I want to send LOADS of cards! Yay! :D

Win Len!

Just a reminder that there is one week left to enter the giveaway to win Len, the Super-Happy Super-Monstie!

If you would like to give Len a new home, please see the original post here for details :)

Thank you to everyone that has entered so far - Len is very happy that so many people are interested in him! He's even happier than before! :D

July Giveaway - Win Len!

You may remember back in January on this blog I had a giveaway? Well it was so much fun I thought I'd have another one this month!

This time round you can win...

Len, The Super-Happy Super-Monstie!

There will also be 2 runners up prizes of a free crochet pattern from my Etsy Shop!

Len is made of acrylic DK yarn, with a felt mouth and safety eyes. He stands at approx. 6'' tall and has 3 horns on his head/back. He even has a heart button sewn on his bum!

Len is a very happy Super Monstie; his favourite things are lively rock music, lemon sorbet, watching Wimbledon and relaxing in the garden on sunny days...

Len will be greatly missed from my ami collection - he's like an agony uncle to all the other ami's and often helps me name them too when they're being made.

But, alas, Len is getting bored of his surroundings and said he'd like to fly the nest. So I said I'd find him a nice new owner on my blog!

If you would like to be that 'nice new owner', all you have to do is answer one question:

'What would you like to see in my Etsy shop?!'

I've recently started putting some of my amigurumi up in my Etsy Shop with my patterns, but I don't really know what people want. So here's your chance to tell me exactly what YOU want to see! It can be anything amigurumi - whether you've seen me make it before or not - I'm up for a challenge!

Simply comment below, or email me at esshaych@hotmail.co.uk , and list the top 3 things you'd like to see up for sale in my shop. Please also leave a contact email/website where I can find you and tell you if you win.

***If no contact email/website is left I won't be able to contact you if you win! Please make sure you leave one!***

The giveaway will finish on Friday 16th July at 12am GMT. I will pick one winner at random and that person will win Len, and 2 runners up will win a free crochet pattern from my Etsy shop.

So that's it! If you'd like to give
Len a new home Please get in contact - he's very excited about all this!

Another Giveaway?!

I'm thinking about having another giveaway on this blog next month. The thing is, I don't know what to give away!

So I was just wondering, what would you like to win?

And the Winner Are...

I made the draw for the Monsties Giveaway this evening with my Mum in the kitchen - names were sorted into 3 different bags according to which colour Monstie you wanted. All draws were fair - we don't like to cheat!

So the winners are -


Captain Coppermane won Blue Monstie!


Kerry won Green Monstie!


And Jill won Pink Monstie!

Congrats to all 3! And Thank you to everyone that entered the giveaway - I wish I had enough Monsties to let everyone have one :(

This giveaway went very well, I'll probably be having another one in the future. If I do, which one of my ami's would you like to win? I'm open to suggestions!

Thankies!
