Updates long overdue

To all my customers and supporters, I apologize for not keeping up with the site in recent weeks.  Everything has been crazy: from recent urgent surgery, to the internet being down, to being frantic about a BIG order, all at once.  So, here are some news-worthy updates about Crochet Madness! events:

* The holidays are JUST around the corner. Time is winding down to order custom items in time for Christmas delivery - December 3 is the last day to order custom items and ensure they are made and shipped in time.  Don't miss out!
 
* Tomorrow is Miss Hannah's birthday party - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed (such a lady).  For the occasion, I have made ninja turtle hats as party favors (thank you again, Jann, for supporting the business AND for having such a creative party favor idea!).  They are adorable!  Pictures will be posted after the party, so as to not spoil the surprise.  The hats look great, and they've definitely been a testiment to the idea that, just because I've never made it before, doesn't mean I can't figure it out.  So to all of you out there reading this, keep in mind that if you have an idea for a style or design that I haven't made and posted here, all you have to do is ask and I can likely whip it up for you!  To order, e-mail me at alynrobertson241@gmail.com.
 
 
* This Saturday, November 17, will begin the last Custom Order Deal Days of the year - and it'll be a big one.  Not only will the parameters of the last Deals Days apply, but I will also be offering custom order matching scarf and hat sets for $25 each set.  So, in all:
 
10% off single item custom orders
15% off multiple item custom orders
$25 matching custom hat and scarf set
(^that's a $10 discount!^)
Combined shipping
 
Please limit multiple item orders to 5 total custom orders, and 10% discount does not apply to matching scarf and hat sets.  And remember December 3 is the last day to e-mail in your order to have it delivered by December 24.  Sale ends November 24 at midnight! 
 
Happy shopping!

Two Announcements

First off:

As you can see, I have finally added the scarves I have been talking about.  My mom has been crocheting too, and has donated a hat and two scarves she has made to sell on the site (Thanks momma!).

Secondly (and this is a big one):

October 20 and 21 will be the first of two weekend dates coming up that I will be taking custom orders.  Tell me what item in what style and colors you want and I'll make it and ship it. 

I will also be giving a 10% discount for multiple items (so if you were to buy two scarves they would be $18 each, rather than $20 each) AND will combine and discount the shipping ($1 off for each additional item, so two scarves would ship for $5, three scarves for $4, etc). 

Payment for custom orders must be paid within one week of order placement, or your order will be canceled.

Certain styles of items will not be available for custom order, such as hats like the Adult Wavy Stripe Hat, and scarves such as Child Woven-Look Scarf and Adult Popcorn Scarf, as I did not make these. 

Orders can be placed by e-mail at alynrobertson241@gmail.com or on my facebook page. 

So mark your calendars!
October 20 and 21 (first round)
November 17 and 18 (second round)
 
Thank you all for your interest!

Note: Orders placed prior to these designated dates will not be fulfilled.  Please wait until 10/20 to begin placing orders.  Thank you.
