Business Cards

It's amazing how one little thing can either make you super excited or supply you with enough anxiety to last the rest of the year!!
I ordered some business cards from VistaPrint and they arrived today. I couldn't wait to get them but now that they are here...I am like ...woah!! THEN I started thinking of places I could put them!! The excitement has set in!!

First Order!!

I have been pretty busy over here at Dandalynn Gifts!!
I had my first order a couple weeks ago and let me tell you!! I was nervous, excited and dumbfounded!! 

My first customer ordered a Pig Hat for his girlfriend, now fiance!! Congrats you two!! :) Maybe the piggy had something to do with it? I like to think so!!

I bought the pattern from here, the PDF email arrived within minutes of completing the transaction (always a plus)!!

Here is the little piggy!! I did change a few things from the original pattern, which are minor! One thing I love about crocheting, once you get the hang of it you have a little bit of creative license to alter your needs or vision!

As a free gift (for being my first order) I included the bow, I attached it to a pin so the recipient could take it on and off when she wanted!!

I used the tutorial found at Devin Likes to Knit (link will take you to the bow tutorial). I made my bow a little wider but her tutorial is super easy to follow, so it's easy to make slight changes to fit your needs!  

Since I made the hat I have had 2 more orders come through!! Yippee!!!! 
If you would like to order a Pig hat for yourself or someone who loves pigs! Shoot me a message I would LOVE to make one for you!! 

Happy Creating!!! ~ Amanda
