Week 18: A Free Panda Pattern, Crochet and Quilting Tutorials, and a Giant Anteater
Plus - 20% off Flowers, Birds, Chimps, and a Goofy Praying Mantis
The heart and soul of Shiny Happy World is in the archives. There are hundreds of free patterns and tutorials and it’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the information. Every Friday I share just a manageable sliver - a peek at what was happening during the same week of every year since the start of Shiny Happy World. This is Week 18.
If you’d rather not receive these Friday emails you can turn them off and still receive the regular Monday news.
Scroll down to where it says Notifications.
Click off the button for Oldies but Goodies.
Easy peasy!
This is a free post, with links to many free tutorials and patterns. If you know someone who’d like to read it, please share! 🥰
The archives are almost all free - but sometimes I released a new pattern in the shop during that week in history. All those patterns are on sale this week!
Shiny Happy World has been around for a LOT of years now. That’s a lot of photos - possibly too many for your email provider to handle. If they chop off the end of the post, look for a link at the bottom where it will say something like “View Entire Message.” Depending on your email provider, it might just be a cryptic set of three dots. Click there to see the rest. 🙂
