Some of my listings are expiring, so I’m having a BOGO 50% off sale! Buy one item and get a second of equal or lesser value for HALF off! I’ll issue a refund minus the shipping cost. Click on the image above to get to my shop. Thanks for the support!
I’m currently working on a few new items, including some brooches, bookmarks, and hats for the fall.

I crocheted and [finally] listed these 3 new bookmarks. You can find them in my shop.
I have 3 others that need to be photographed. I really do enjoy making these. Even with those tiny stitches! My favorite part might be choosing the buttons and thread, though. I arrange about 6 bookmarks, place the supplies in their own little baggies, then start crocheting them off. It’s a nice little set up. I haven’t lost anything yet, so that’s a plus.
My baby turns TWO in TWO WEEKS! ah! This weekend, my cousin graduates college, so my mom and I are taking a little road trip to attend the ceremony. Daddy will stay behind with the boys. He’s taking the big one to his very first baseball game and the little one might (!!!) spend the night (!!!!) with grandma!!! That would mark 2 off of my 25 before 26 list in one day! Ah! I’m not sure I’m ready, though J says Andrew could totally handle it.
By Lisa Gutierrez on 04/22/2010 First, I’m having a tiny sale in the shop, today. It’s Earth Day, so the cupcake containers and cassette wallet (both made of repurposed items) are 20% off. You could get a cupcake container for $12! You still get the free mini-brooch, if you buy any of those items.
Now, onto the giggling two’s….I like this age. He turns two in a little less than a month (!!!!!!). Sure, he throws a tantrum every now and then, but I think the fact that he thinks pretty much everything is absolutely gut-punching hilarious makes up for it. He has giggle fits every night before bed. Then he whines a bit and passes out, but still! The 5-10 minutes where a sideways stare makes him bust into a fit of laughter make the other more pressing and stressful times that much easier to handle.

He still doesn’t talk much, but he understands a lot. He’s a big daredevil, but he can’t jump off of things, yet. He thinks he does, though, so please don’t tell him he’s totally doing it wrong. He likes to play with pens (and markers, but those are messssy)–specifically the tops. He spent a solid 10 minutes pulling it off and putting it back on. Over and over and over! He’s starting to love shoes. If you came over any time through out the day, chances are he’ll be walking around in boots and a diaper. Naked, but with cute shoes on! Who wouldn’t want to do that all day?
Lastly, a big “THAAAANK YOU!” to all who have entered, blogged, or tweeted about the giveaway! I really, truly appreciate it! If you haven’t entered…go! Do so! Only 20 more entries for a runner-up prize! I get a big thrill out of giving stuff away. I may have to change #20 on my 25 before 26 list to “Have a giveaway every month!”

Dun, dun, dun…They have arrived! Bookmarks are now available in the goodknits shop! I started making these when I ran out of pins for brooches. Oooops! I’m glad, though, because these are rather cute. Plus, not everyone is the brooch-y type. Go check ’em out and tell me what you think! It would be most appreciated.
Also, don’t forget that EVERY order until Mother’s Day will receive a free mini-brooch! Don’t worry, I bought more pins.
Don’t forget Mother’s Day is May 9! Order soon, to ensure delivery!

Snag one of the ready-made babies, or send me a note requesting a custom cupcake. I have been hanging on to yogurt, dip, and other random plastic containers, just to make these cupcakes. The 8oz (usually a yogurt container) cupcakes will be $15, if you’re interested in a smaller size. They make adorable party favors! I made about 15, last year, for my sons’ combo birthday party. It was tough work, so if you’re interested, please let me know a few weeks in advance! I’ll give you a great deal, if you buy more than 10. Shoot me an email or etsy convo.
