Mamachee Patterns Giveaway! ENDED

It's Day 2 of our 12 days of Giveaways! We are thankful to have Mamachee Crochet Patterns for another fabulous giveaway!  Tara Murray is the creative mind behind Mamachee Patterns.

Here is a little about Tara:


"My name is Tara, I'm a wife and a mother of four. I grew up in Alaska (the beautiful and the cold) and I'm pretty sure this is where my family will grow up too. I love to crochet, design, and craft. I absolutely LOVE being able to share everything with you via this blog, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Story behind the names:
Mamachee (actual spelling: Mamatschi) I have German Heritage and so I grew up listening to German music and my favorite songs were from Heintje who sang a song named Mamatschi (you can you tube this if you want to listen to it). Heintje was just a young boy that always song about his Mom and Grandmother....which is what I probably would have sung about too if I had a singing voice. I adore my Mama!

Easy Makes Me Happy Blog
This doesn't have much behind it besides a love for instant gratification. Patience is not a word that would accurately describe me (I'm working on it) and my attention span is a bit low as well....My favorite is EASY! "

Tara recently offered a deal on Belle Chic and Jill was able to score some great patterns.  Here are a few of her new favorites!

Angela Hat with Flower

Birdie Rattle Toy

The Laila Flower

There are three main ways to connect with Tara: Etsy Shop, Facebook, Easy Makes Me Happy Blog.  Send her some love and tell her we sent you!

Happy One Year Blogiversary to Us! Announcing 12 Gifts for you!!!

We officially started this blog a year ago today.  I don't think either one of us realized the time we'd invest, when we first started. There have been times where we pushed forward 100% and times when we had too many other things going on and were forced to put the blog on the back burner. 

During the year, we've: gained some wonderful followers, made some fantastic "blogland" friends, and teamed up with some amazing shops for giveaways.

We are very proud of what we've accomplished and look forward to so much more in the next twelve months.

As a special thank you, for hanging with us, we've teamed up with 12 great shops to offer you exciting giveaways for the rest of the month!
