Tara opened her etsy store in October of 2008 with these things in mind: "My dream is to be able to stay home all day with my husband and kids, working together as a family. With the help from etsy and you lovely buyers on etsy, this may be able to come true for me....and I am so thankful!"
I hope that her dream is coming true. It sure looks like she is quite successful! She's made over 4000 sales with 100% positive feedback! She also has a thriving blog that offers many free crochet patterns, tutorials and other crafts. Check it out here!
Here is a closeup one with full flower showing!
We actually got the this last picture in black and white with the flower being the only thing in color. It was beautiful! I really feel the headband and flower just made her pictures extra special.Mamachee patterns are well written and very easy to understand, even for the beginner crocheter. What is even better is Tara is more than willing to help you if you have questions or struggles. She also has deals when you buy more patterns.
Here are some items that are on my list to buy:
Buccaneer Booties
Elizabeth Headwrap
Flower Shower
Oma House Slippers (for adults!)
One of the neatest items on her blog is a measurements guide to help you make your own creations. This is definitely at the top of my list!
Okay, enough of my love for Mamachee! I want you to share in the love. Tara has been nice enough to do a giveaway for all our fabulous readers! How does FIVE free patterns to a lucky winner sound? I think that is awesome! For those of you wanting to learn to crochet, this is a great way to start off with some fantastic patterns.
Here is how you enter to win the 5 free crochet patterns:

That is 5 chances to win 5 free patterns! Remember, you don't have to do all 5 entries, but it sure would make us happy and increase your chances.
