Yarndemon and *Giveaway*









I am so thrilled to tell you all about Yarndemon! It really is a slice of happy on the internet!
Anita, the poly clay maverick, has sent in stitch marker samples for both February and March and now, she's doing orifice hooks!
I got a special orifice hook surprise in the mail and it's almost silly, how proud I am to have a personalized tool from her!
Anita hand sculpts all of the "critters" you see in her shop and I am stunned she isn't selling these for 2x what she has them listed for. I purchased a set of her colorful Easter egg chickie stitch markers for a swap partner last month, and they came packaged in a jewelry box/bag and were extremely well received!
Well, in the March box- Anita went the extra mile and sent in loads of the most adorable hand sculpted sheep stitch markers! I know several of you want to string them about your necks, they are so adorable!
I am so excited to be giving away an orifice hook of your choice to a lucky commenter here! Anita has made me both a sheep and a flamingo one, and I honestly can't decide which is cuter!
All you have to do to be entered for this giveaway, is leave a comment here about something you like from Yarndemon's Shop. I will be drawing for the winner on Tuesday, so you've got time to scope everything out! Remember, always leave a way for me to find you- and tweeting and blogging etc about this contest will net you extra entries!

The little robin and nest stitch markers are the cutest things ever!

Elaine said...

Every time I think that I've found the cutest ever stitch markers, I scroll down and find one that it even cuter.

I think I'll say (for now) the pea stitch markers. I just love them.

I'm posting this on my blog

I just love Anita's items and am a lucky receiver to an Oreo Tape Measure :) In talking with Anita and having an extra she custom made me one for my yarn bag that I take to the bowling alley, now I'm the proud owner of a bowling ball tape measure that even has a bowling pin on it..lol The girl is outstanding in her crafts!!

Nice goodies you have and they are all great ones! Always hard to choose..lol

Cindy said...

If I have to pick, and I shouldn't have to, I would choose the Sweet Pea stitch markers, but then, I want a flamingo oriface hook, too. If I don't win, I will have to buy. You are cruel;--)

Unknown said...

Love the penguins - they're just too cute.

I don't exactly know what you do with an orifice hook, but it sure does look nice.

The Hot Pepper stitch markers, I love them since I'm such a "hot" old lady...yeah right! Seriously they are way to cute!

purple-power said...

The peas are too cute to be true. I decided a while ago that I had too many stitch markers and didn't need any more. These might be the exception.


My Rav id is: purple

Beltway Spinner said...

OMG The Cuteness! Anyone who sculpts miniature food and puts eyes on it, is a very clever crafter. But when you make it useful, you are a creative genius! Peas are my fave veggie and now my fave stitch markers. And the Orifice Hook with a sheep? ADORABLE!

Melissa's Kre8tions said...

I absolutely adore the stitch markers! The lobsters are my favorite! I was lucky enough to receive the sheep stitch marker in my march box and know where to go for adorable gifts this year! Fabulous job yarndemon!

I thought the sheep stitch marker I got in my PhatFiber box was the cutest thing ever but--ohmigod--those lobsters and penguins are just hysterical!! I think it's the eyes! And did you see the crocheted chocolate chip cookie covered tape measure? If I had that around, I'd be hungry all day!

She rocks, that's all there is to say... As for the spinning wheel orfice- FANTASTIC! She is very talented.I can't do anything with clay except make the color brown. I adore her little lobster stitch markers (grammy who taught me to knit is from Boston).

Great work!

Remeinds me to start working on my blog...

Robin said...

I LOVE all of Anita's creations. Having the name Robin - it wasn't hard to decide which ones to order first! I love my set of stitch markers containing a robin and her nests!!!

Melissa @ Banana Migraine said...

I'm having trouble picking just one! I think I might have to go with the stitch markers. They are so cute.

Terrye said...

The cutest stitch markers ever, the Robin and eggs in the nest are my faves. Will probably buy some even if I don't win them!

Oh my, I love Anita's shop. There is a problem though...she's turned me into a stitch marker addict! I never thought stitch markers could be so adorable and there are too many I want. Congratulations!

Bren said...

Everything is so cute! I *think* my fav is the flip flops. They make me think of summer time but the robin w/her little nests of eggs is super cute too!

Anonymous said...

Anita's shop is the best.. she's my go-to gal for swap gifts, or just things I need. My favorites are the lobsters she made for me when she had me as a swap partner once! :-)

rebelhousewife said...

I think it is a toss up between the bunnies and carrots stitch markers and the chicken ones. Great stuff.

They're all very cute, but I adore the penguins!

Susan said...

I was one of the lucky ones to get a sheep stitch marker in my March box and I love it! But, being a Bostonian, I really think I need the Set of 4 LOBSTERS Knitting or Crochet Stitch Markers! Love all of her stuff, though!

Gina said...

I really like the stitch markers that are shaped like ribbon candy. That is one of my favorite Christmas-time candies.

She does great work, I also like the mice with cheese markers. Too cute.

I said I liked the sweet pea the best, but I ended up ordering a set of the farm animals and a set of the turtles, for crochet! It was hard to choose...:)

I love sooooo many of the stitch markers!

They were all so cute. The barn yard animals and the purse. Hard to pick a favorite and if I had to pick a favorite it would be the purses.
