Minnie Mouse Hat in RED!

I made some adorable Minnie hats for two little girls who are going on a trip to Disneyworld for a customer on Etsy. She wanted one hat to be Hot Pink, and one to be Red so they wouldn't be wearing the same exact hat. I love the way the hat looks in Red! 

The Minnie Mouse hat has been my most popular item recently, so I wanted to include a photo of the Red version on my blog.

This hat is available for sale in my Etsty Shop!

Chinese Zodiac: Year of the Dragon

A customer asked me to create a dragon hat for a baby girl based on the Chinese Zodiac. She is going to be born soon which makes her the year of the Dragon. This hat was fun to make but also very challenging. The smaller the hat, the harder it is to fit all the details on there. This was my second attempt at the dragon hat, but I am happy with the way it came out.

I love when I get a chance to create something out of the ordinary! This hat didn't photograph as well as I hoped. It is even cuter in person! 

The yarn I used is a tweed yarn called "Sagey Tweed." It has speckles of colors in it. This hat was made for a baby girl, so I wanted it to be cute and girly instead of scary. Let's hope my customer likes it! :) 

Minnie Mouse Inspired Hat

You can't have a Mickey Mouse hat without a Minnie Mouse hat! This hat is super cute and so much fun. It is made with Acrylic yarn in Black and Hot Pink with White polka-dots and a bow. It is available for sale in my Etsy Shop!

Be sure to check out all my other goodies. :) 

Cozy Bunny Slippers

I usually don't follow patterns, but I knew I wanted to buy this pattern for Bunny Slippers from Twogirlspatterns.etsy.com the moment I saw it! Adorable!! I purchased a two pack of patterns and got the pattern for the loafers as well. I can't wait to make those!

The weather in Michigan has been so weird lately. It has only snowed a couple of times and it has all melted. It has been in the 40's and 50's which is definitely not typical for a January in Michigan! I LOVE IT because snow is not my friend. But, I am afraid for when Old Man Winter gets revenge and dumps snow all over us. We'll be snowed in for weeks probably. :) All this nice weather has made me start thinking about Spring, and of course that means Easter. So I knew I had to make these adorable bunny slippers.

 

I made these with different yarn than I normally use. It is Bernat Satin in Sandstone. It is still Acrylic, but it is SO soft and kind of shiny. I love it! I bought a bunch of different colors when it was on sale at Michaels. I love the way these turned out! 

These little beauties can be purchased from my Etsy shop. If you'd like to make your own, be sure to purchase the pattern from Twogirlspatterns.etsy.com ! They email the PDF file very quickly and they are so easy to understand. They have pictures for additional reference. :)

M-I-C-K-E-Y... M-O-U-S-E!!

My son loves Mickey Mouse, so I thought I'd make him a cute little hat with mouse ears. The pictures do not even do this hat justice: it is SO cute when he wears it! He loves to point at it and say "Me mou!" My next project will be a Minnie Mouse hat for girls. :) 

This hat is made with Acrylic yarn in Black, Red, and White.

New Items

I think I have learned my lesson to start making new items for my Etsy shop in the Summer. I wanted to have Christmas items, but I started getting so many orders that I didn't have time! I've been checking things off my to-do list for orders as well as getting all situated in my new house. The holidays really are full of hustle and bustle! 

I usually update my blog with pics of my new items, so here are some of the orders I've been working on.

I am really hoping to make new things but not sure when that happen. Keep checking my Etsy Shop for new items! :)

Busy!

What a busy November! I can't believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Christmas will be here before we know it! I have been so extremely busy with Etsy orders that I haven't really had time to make new items. I did, however, find a SUPER CUTE pattern on Etsy for these adorable Cable Baby Boots! I have only made one boot so far. Not even a set. BUT, I love them and can't wait until I have some time to make more!

My husband and I bought our first house, and we are moving in today! We just need to unpack everything, which isn't easy with two little children running around. Tomorrow we will celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
