It's hard to believe that March is almost over! I'm taking a break today from posting crochet tips to mark the end of another great National Crochet Month. I guess an upside to being at home all of the time now is that I had a chance to see all the beautiful posts by other crochet designers during Crochetville's month-long celebration. I hope you'll get a chance to catch up too, and if you missed my post for NatCroMo, here it is.
But Many Creative Gifts is not yet ready to end the party! Since it will be our 15th Anniversary on April 5th, we've extended the one-time use 50% off coupon code for your total purchase in our Ravelry store. The offer is good until April 5th (11:59 PM EDT). Just use the code "50for15" in the coupon section at check out.
I hope you've been enjoying the crochet tips, we've got 10 more to go, but if I don't cover something you wish I had, please leave a comment here or on our Facebook page!

Happy NatCroMo 2020!!
Hey Crocheters, it's National Crochet Month, and I'm celebrating until Many Creative Gifts' 15th Anniversary on April 5th. Keep reading for a great coupon code for my Ravelry Store.
It's so great to be a part of Crochetville's Designer Blog Tour in celebration of NatCroMo, and I've really been enjoying this year's theme of Crochet Memories. I feel like I have quite a few of them at this point: There are memories of learning how to crochet from my favorite 6th grade teacher and my aunt; there are memories of crocheting my first sweater with royal blue yarn and feeling like I could actually wear it in public; there are memories of making cute little baby clothes for dear friends' baby showers; and there are memories of creating Many Creative Gifts as an entrepreneurial endeavor to test out design ideas and new technologies!
Speaking of technology, I've been going live on Facebook, with a quick crochet tip each time. My goal is 30 days' worth of videos to give you a taste of my ebook 101 Crochet Tips. I'll be posting the tips on this blog as well, and, as a result of this journey, I'm going to put together a new edition! Stay tuned for launch details.
And, in celebration of NatCroMo 2020 and our 15th Anniversary, I'm offering my best discount yet -- a one-time use 50% off coupon code for your total purchase. Just go to my Ravelry Store here and type in "50for15" in the coupon section at check out. The offer is good until April 5th (11:59 PM EDT).
I hope you've enjoyed visiting my blog and want to subscribe to future posts (see subscription box in left column). I have a feeling that 2020 will be a great year in which to create some new Crochet Memories. Thank you for celebrating NatCroMo2020 with me, and Happy Crocheting!!

A New Year, A New Approach Going Forward!
Hello Crocheters! I'm sorry I "ghosted" on all of you, but my mama passed at the end of July, then my godmother in August. Things just had to give, both before and after. No regrets, but I do need to make amends with those of you who have supported me and Many Creative Gifts all these years! After all, it's our 15th Anniversary this year!!
So, in this new, fresh year, I'm shifting my focus to connect with you all in different and hopefully more helpful crochet ways, and I hope you'll agree and continue to stick with me :-). In addition to occasional blog posts, I want to make better use of other media to convey meaningful crafty information to you.
For the next 30 days, starting Wednesday, January 29th, I'll be livestreaming on my Facebook page (go straight there) with a different crochet tip or trick each day to help you refresh your crochet knowledge and hopefully experience something new and different! All of the crochet tips, and way more, are in my ebook 101 Crochet Tips, available on Amazon (this is my affiliate link).
For those of you who no longer utilize Facebook, I'll be figuring out other venues in which to post the videos, so check back here for more alternative links.
Happy 2020, Crocheters, it's going to be a great year!

Happy NatCroMo 2019!
Welcome Crocheters (and knitters too)!
Thank you for joining me on my blog day for National Crochet Month (NatCroMo), it's hard to believe how quickly March is passing by.
For my followers, thank you so much for sticking with me as I experiment with crochet-related topics and blogging formats. For the newcomers, I'm so glad you're taking the time to visit and check me out -- my goal is to provide practical and useful information that will make your crocheting time easier and even more fun!
First, a big thank you to Marie Segares (the Underground Crafter), who in conjunction with the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA) revived the Crochet Designers' Showcase for NatCroMo. Every day this month, a different crochet designer who is also a member of the CGOA will be featured, and each designer will share a free crochet pattern or a 25% discount on a premium pattern (I'm doing both, read on!). I love being a corporate member of CGOA because the organization provides so many resources to small crafts businesses and the dedicated officers and members are so supportive. And Crochet! Magazine is such a great collection of patterns and the newest happenings in crochet.
Marie and CGOA also have partnered with some of our favorite companies to offer great prizes, including yarn, crochet hooks, notions, pattern books, and more! Find out more information about the other participating designers, the schedule, and how to enter to win the prizes in this post.
Next, a huge thank you to Laurel Hill, who generously sent me this beautiful crochet hook in celebration of NatCroMo. And I mean that! I'm usually so skeptical of free stuff for my "honest" review, but this opportunity was better than I could have expected. The hook is so smooth and comfortable to hold, and I really like the head of the hook as well. I'm usually not a fan of wooden hooks, but this hook feels substantial and sturdy, and did I remark on how smooth it is?! It really is a quality hook at a reasonable price. Check out my previous blog post with a video on "How to Cleverly Start a Double Crochet Row" to see the Laurel Hill hook in action!
In preparation for Easter, I also recently recorded a video for my YouTube channel (please subscribe, I'm really getting into this movie-making thing!) to demonstrate how to create a Crochet Bite-Size Bunny, and the written pattern is free on Ravelry and LoveKnitting.
I was hoping to also have a brand new premium crochet project and pattern available for discount for NatCroMo, but "due to technical difficulties", it's not quite ready yet, soooooo... I'm giving a 25% discount on ALL of my patterns for purchase in my Ravelry store! Just type in "NatCroMo2019" as a one-time-use coupon code until April 11th (11:59 PM EDT).
