UPDATE: Spring is in the Air {Giveaway! Closed!}

Congrats Shana!  You've won my Spring Giveaway!  Contact me at elliebands@gmail.com to let me know if you want the ellieBands or a custom ellieBeanie!  (and I love that your favorite memory of spring is DEFINITELY one of my favorite--although I seem to remember we stole more kinds of flowers from people's gardens than just lilacs haha).  <3

Can anyone else say "FINALLY!"??  This nice spring-ish weather has been a long time coming, and boy have we here in Zoo-Town needed it.  It's a rough enough winter, but then when it takes two extra months for the sun to show its glowing face and for those cleansing rains and winds to blow in, it makes living here challenging.  But then give we Missoulians two days in the sun like we had last week, and voila! We forget there ever was such a thing as winter!

Lucky for me, I have a fun little hobby I can do rain or shine, and I've been up to my usual production of 3-4 hats per week.  This is a small Herculean feat, as I have also been busy doing about a million other little things, but I am so excited to see more little kids give my hats the true personality that they deserve.  After all, a hat is nothing without the perfect head to sit upon, no?

And in celebration of being in business for 6 weeks, and the fact that my Ellie B. turned 6 months old on Sunday, I'm announcing a new giveaway opportunity. Comment me (below) and tell me your favorite childhood memory that involves Springtime! Everyone who comments will be entered in a drawing for either one beanie (any style/size) or a full set of my "Rainbow" ellieBands.  

Ellie B. turns 6 months!

See, Spring sunshine must make me feel generous, because there is no purchase necessary to enter (but a purchase or two would be appreciated nonetheless, this yarn doesn't buy itself! tee hee)  


Happy Sunny Days, everyone!
<3, Ellie B's mama, Heather

**Enter from 5.16.11-5.20.11, Drawing will take place on Saturday, 5.21.11**
