12 Weeks of Christmas

Penelope Designs is being featured in Week 3 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas, a great giveaway blog contest by SewArtsy.

Each week for the 12 weeks before Christmas, SewArtsy is featuring a different Etsy artisan and a free giveaway item from that seller. Head on over to her blog to see what to do to to enter the contest!

For my part of the contest, I am offering a red, white and blue button bracelet and matching earring set from my Etsy site. Great to wear on patriotic holidays, or any time you feel like showing your country pride

Art on the Avenue!

Tomorrow is Art on the Avenue, a fun festival of food, crafts and music on Mt. Vernon Avenue in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria. There will be dozens of crafters there, including yours truly, hoping against all hope that it doesn't rain!

I have been knitting like crazy for the past several months to get ready for this show, ramping up my baby hat collection, as well as introducing fingerless gloves, coffee cup sweaters, and my newest favorite, puzzle balls!

Come by and visit if you are in the neighborhood - I am in booth W172 between Hume and Uhler Streets.
