{cozy up!}

I crocheted this neckwarmer for my dear friend {who also happens to be my future sister-in-law}, and I love how it turned out! The picture doesn't quite do it justice...I'm still working on making my photos better. But it's a gorgeous shade of green, and the texture is just lovely. I hope she enjoys it!

For those of you who crochet, I used this pattern from good knits - it's easy and works up very quickly. Have fun!

{be thankful}

Christmastime is my FAVORITE time of year.

It might have something to do with the fact that Christmas & my birthday are on the same day...

but I love it.

That being said, it's easy for me to skip right on by Thanksgiving.

So I'm reminding myself to {be thankful} this season.

{this adorable printable is from Libby - I love it!}

What are you thankful for today?

I enjoyed my break from blogging, really.

But now I'm back in my blog "home", excited to share.

I've been working on projects, planning for Christmas {only 46 days!}, crocheting like crazy.

I haven't been taking any photos {oops!}, so that's next on my list.

Putting together the celebration for next week.

Trying to stay organized & on top of things.

What have you been up to while I was away?

{celebrate with me?}

update :: I've filled the 5 giveaway spots! Thank you so much!

The Sweetest Petunia's blogiversary is coming up very soon!

I'd love to be able to host a week of giveaways {especially handmade items!}, November 15th - 19th.

Will you help me celebrate?

If you'd like to donate something for a giveaway, please send me an email,

or leave a comment with a way for me to reach you.

If I could get 5 shops {one for each day}, that would be perfect!

See you there!

:: details ::

You'd have your own feature post, links to your shop, blog, twitter, etc.

Great exposure for your handmade items!

Please be sure to ask if you have any questions. :)

{pretties for your hair}

Good morning! I'm not quite returning to the blog world in full force, but I wanted to share this with you...have a happy day!

*****

I adore headbands.

They're the perfect hair accessory when I want my hair to be a little fancy.

I've been making plans to add headbands to the shop for a while, ordering supplies, stitching away...and I'm happy to announce that they are now available!

These are all just lovely, and affordable.

They'd also make fabulous gifts!

{each item purchased from Petunia Blooms is carefully packaged as a gift,

so no extra work for you} :)

Which headband is your favorite?

*****

If anyone is interested in custom orders, I am more than happy to oblige.

I can make zippered pouches, petal pins & headbands in custom colors/fabrics and quantities.

However, I'll only be able to accept a limited number of custom orders.

Please email me if you're interested!

Also, I only have a few petal pins available, so if you'd like to snag a free one {with any purchase}, you'll have to do it soon!
