Designs By Tami *Giveaway*



Designs by Tami is kind of my go-to shop when I need a little jewelry fix. I think to myself: "Well, it's only $5.00" and then before I know it, I'll have 5 or 6 things in my cart! They are all just too adorable to pass up! I think Etsy needs to come up with a widget that will let you "throw a dart" at a someone's shop or a random shuffle or something. I would use that to buy from Tami, because I love everything she has.

What I really love about Tami, is she's always willing to make whatever I want. If you want a set of alien knitting needles, Tami could make them for you- I have no doubt.

This month, Tami sent in some sweet skull stitch markers and some cute and candy sheep pendants! I love the skull stitch markers! I'm normally not really into pirates or skulls, but how could you not like these, they are just too cute!

Everyone, tell Tami she needs to make drop spindles! We've been experimenting with designs and I think she's really on to something! You've read it here first, Tami has come up with a really neat drop spindle design- go bug her about it!

We're giving away a set of three sad-eyed Alpaca poly clay stitch markers! The cuteness is just beyond words!
Please visit Designs by Tami and find something you like (I know, it's *so* hard!) and write about it in the comments section below here. I'll be drawing for a name tomorrow, so be prompt!
Use your social networking skillz to net you extra entries! Just let me know you did it!

Thank you so much, Tami! Now get crackin' on those spindles girl! *Evil grin*

    I am in love with those skullie markers! They're so cute!

    From her shop... Wow, I'd seen her hooks/needles, but never her jewelry! The pinup cuffs are amazing - I might have to pick one up as a gift for my mom! =D

    I've had Tami on my Etsy favorites list for some time, between her pirate knitting needles and her gnome stitch markers.

    The sheep stitch markers are cute, however, I would request that one of them be made black.

    Oh my heavens! She has a couple of pairs of monkey stitch markers that are SOOOO cute! And if I ever used straight needles anymore, I'd be all over the pink flamingos. Maybe she could do those as a stitch marker, or did I miss them? So many pretty things.

    Wow, I love the long tailed and "Hear no, see no, speak no evil" monkeys. Both sets of markers are amazing.

    I'm having to slap my paws for a few more days on the Bitten pendent. I'm a vamp nut too, though not really from the Twilight books. Though I'll change my mind when the kid playing Jacob turns 18 ;)
