Welcome to Giving Tuesday! I'm doing something special from Tues 12/3 to Fri 12/6 to give a little back. When you purchase items from Jilly & Kiddles, I'll give YOU 10% off your order (applied automatically) and I'll give 15% to a great local cause. All you have to do is buy something for yourself or someone special during that time, and you'll be contributing to Child & Family RI and their Adopt-a-Family Holiday program. Please join me in making a child's life a little brighter! Thanks for your help :)

  • Random Thoughts...

    by Jill Leary

    Things have been a bit all over the place around here...

    So in the spirit of chaos that is my life right now, here are some random thoughts.

    Seeing your own ad on Ravelry for the first time is surprising and wild!  I was adding my new project to Rav and I saw a Jilly & Kiddles ad for the first time.  Dudes, it was amazing.

  • (Yarn)Bombs Away!

    by Jill Leary

    Well, the word around here is college.  Yup, my first child is about to fly the coup.  You know, in about 9 months or so...

    Last week my daughter, my husband, and I went on a little trip to check out a couple of schools.  We zipped off to NYC for some fun and to see two of the schools on Irene's list.

  • Photoshoot of the Century

    by Jill Leary

    The photoshoot during which I learned how to capture yarn.  ...So I googled it.  I researched.  I read articles.  You name it.  My shots were getting better, but not quite what I wanted yet.  Naturally, I thought maybe if I had a really great camera, if would make a difference.  Maura agreed to bring the camera along, and sounded excited to use her new skills to help me out.  Trying out a “professional” camera without having to buy it?  Yes, please!
