Dear customers, I was thinking to start using Merchant Account, kind of
a system which allows to get Credit Card payments.

If  you compare it with PayPal, you can see 3 major differences:

1. Merchant Accounts accept most Credit Cards from many countries.
2. They don’t work with PayPal accounts. I mean you can’t enter your
   PayPal email/password.
3. I, as a Seller,  have better  protection from  PayPal based types of
   fraud.

So I decided to ask a question: How tightly are you bound to your PayPal
accounts? And  if so, will  it be OK for you to  use your  PayPal  card as a
Credit Card?

And to lightening this boring process to read post and reply questions… 
Oh well, you know me, I really do not need a motivation for contests ;o) 
I Love them so much and it’s always my absolute Pleasure! So today my 
GIVEAWAY is for Euro yarn Kit in such Autumn rich colors, which is perfect
for your fall projects and includes: unbelievable soft Gedifra Tecno Hair:

Cotton Rope (50 cotton, 45% acrylic/50gr/58m (63yds)):

Have you seen this? :o)

When I brought this picture for Kristin to look at her first reaction was…
"and what’s about rain?"… Seattle’s kid… ;o)

… Oh my, where to start?! First of all,  just look at these pictures, taken
by Natasha Titanoff! Funny that we are leaving in one city, pretty often
visit the same parties, I know that Natasha loves photography and she
knows that I’m knit/crochet. But I never saw her pictures and she never
visited my site ;o) …Well, I’m so glad it’s happened and below is a result
of our first collab… Isn’t the pictures simply ADORABLE?! I am so in LOVE 
with Natasha’s Style and such Talent and with this little girl!!! She is SO
Charming and Pretty! Thank you SO MUCH girls!! You are AMAZING!! 
  
 
And below one of my new designs Headband and Scarf 2 in 1. Still need
to write pattern. And another one it is Coral Reef scarf/fingerless gloves
and flower pin set. Still need to picture it, but pattern is done and sent
for editing. I’ll keep you updated ;o)
 

In the other news…  I can’t believe it, but looks as we’ve got a Summer
here, finally! I can’t say that 96 degrees is my favorite temperature, but
at least it’s something different than 46 degrees and rain for weeks ;o)   
 
Also, we’ve had  our friend Eugene  from CA to  spend this weekend with
us and join to celebrate Igor’s Birthday. The party was Awesome, well as
another ones too. We’ve had a BLAST!! …And sure a Firework, one of my 
favorite thing since childhood, doesn’t yours too?! ;o)

I Hope you all had Awesome and Safe holidays!

A Wonderful another one to you all!
HUGS,
Alla

This scarf  with tassels was  created by  very special  request and I’ve got 
a cool  experience  to play with  Two-color spiral motifs. Such a fun project,
which takes just a couple hours and can be made in any color combination
and with any weight yarn. Light  weight yarn  is perfect for belts and sport
weight baby  yarn work great  for headbands and  bracelets. A perfect gift
idea too! The detailed tutorial how to join motifs is included.

I was SO Fun to work on these tops and I’m so glad I finally done some
in Under sea theme planned for years, but never had a chance LOL! The
only thing I do not think I’ll ready with these 2 patterns this season, but
at least you know what to expect on beginning of next one ;o)



 
And below is one more top, which is more basic and can be turned in any
theme: from sea, BTS to patriotic… Just change ribbon(which is attached
by invisible nylon snap-fastener) or add some flower pins and get a new
look!) 
 
In case… pattern for this top is scheduled already and I plan to work on 
it in about 1-2 weeks.

A WONDERFUL and SUNNY weekend to everyone!!

… Oh my, is it Friday already? REALLY?!!! Well… just another AWESOME,
crazy busy and productive week ;o)

This week I’ve finished 3 patterns, which will be available right after tech
editing:
  

Yesterday I was SO happy finally back to my 2 baby lines, which I started
at beginning of March, but never had a chance continue to work on them…
Sneak peak coming soon ;o)

Also, we had contractors this week. They worked hard and really did great
landscape restoration on our front and back yards and now I’m so enjoying
our landscaping and was so glad to add a couple more of my favorite plants
like Hosta, Japanese Forest grass, Yucca… just to name a few.  
 
Oh and if trust weather forecast, today is last day of rains here… We are
so ready for the Summer and I really hope that we finally get temperature
warmer than 53F LOL!

And last thing, I believe I reached the point when hot yoga became not
just fitness but JOY first of all!
 
To visit yoga class together, Igor and I found that 6:00 am class works
the best for our schedule. The only thing is I still need assure itself that
wake up at 5:00 am is fun and tomorrow it will be much easy  ;o)

HAPPY and WONDERFUL weekend everyone!!

HUGS,
