3 Month Milestone Triggers a Giveaway at Norah's Knot!

Yesterday, Norah's Knot hit a huge (to me) milestone!

Three months ago, I officially claimed my own little corner of the internets! It has been an absolute joy and a whirlwind of activity. Every custom order, every chance to get an idea out of my head and work it through to completion has been insanely satisfying, even if blogging has taken a bit of a backseat. I do apologize for being MIA.

Here is a snapshot of just some of the dolls I have shipped since opening..

I think 93 days of business calls for a celebration, and so I am thrilled to announce 

"Giveaway, Part 2!" 

Here is the deal. All you have to do is tell your friends about the Norah's Knot  Facebook Page. When the page hits 100 likes, a randomly selected follower will be the new owner of a handmade, Norah's Knot doll. It couldn't be easier!

Word on the street is (don't shoot the messenger) that Christmas is 19 weeks and 3 days away. A Norah's Knot doll would look fantastic under any tree! Just sayin'.

Remember, 100 likes triggers the giveaway!

Crocheted Doll Makeover

Last October, Glen asked THE question being asked in almost every house..."Norah, what do you want to be for Halloween?". Yes, she is three years old, but we probably shouldn't have been so surprised at her answer:

"NOT a princess!"

This was quickly followed with: 

"Maybe a chicken?"

Jedi Master Yoda

Made up of mostly spheres and cylinders, this pudgy little jedi master was so much easier than Caleb's dog. For a few minutes, I got a bit hung up on the fingers and toes, and made the mistake of suggesting that Yoda's hands could possibly be "ovalish" and stacked on top of a walking stick. That went over about as well as you can expect, with a raised eyebrow and a "Julie, things can't always be easy and simple. " So basically, suck it up and figure it out.

"It's exactly what I wanted!"

Caleb has been feeling left out of the "pillow pals" scene lately. Norah and Will both have these cozy pillows that transform into a stuffy and to add to the insult, Will's bear even shines stars in alternating colours onto the ceiling.

"Mom will you crochet me a dog? One of those pillow dogs? It could look like Chaz, with one ear up and one down, one leg a different colour, and it could be blue....or lots of different blues. Oh and his mouth could be doing this (cue dog face impersonation). And then, you could put a couple different patches of colour on his body and I could name him Patches.  "
