I've Been Crocheting More Hats!

I made this cute zebra hat the other day.

 

It didn't turn out quite like I wanted,

 

but I think he's pretty cute anyway.

 

I based my hat off of  this pattern by Repeat Crafter Me's pattern 

 

and then another version of a Minion hat

a Mickey hat based off of  Repeat Crafter Me

a cute little penguin

 

and another Minion

    It's fun  making these hats and hopefully someone will enjoy them this winter!

 

 

Getting My Crochet on......

I' m trying out some new hats this year.

 

My first one is a Minion that Jace helped me design.

 

Pretty cute on Jace!

 

 

 

 

Next I made some super cute Candy Corn Hats for dolls and for kiddo's.

 

I found this pattern on Simply Sweets Crochet on Ravelry.

 

I'm planning on making a costume to go with the hats.

 

 

 

I love this little Cupcake hat!  It fits a preemie or an American Girl sized Doll.

 

The pattern I used is from Repeat Crafter Me's blog.

 

She has the most amazing crochet patterns and they are all free!!!

 

God Bless Sarah for sharing her amazing talents with us!

 

 

 

The Minion and the Knights Mesh hats I designed on my own after looking at photo's that other talented people posted.

Jace with his Knight's Mesh hat on.

 

I'm planning on making a costume to go with this hat too.

 



I'm having so much fun making these hats!

 

I've already started making some different ones and I can't wait to start designig

 

costumes to go with the hats!!

Some of The Things I've Made Lately

I'm really trying to get lots of things made for my shop

 

 so I can earn some money for the holidays.

 

Hopefully I'm going to be able to do a couple of craft shows

 

so I can get some local exposure.

 

Anyway,

 

here's a few of the things I've made lately.

 

 

 

 

 a quilted tote bag that I used selvages on

 

 

Lots of scarves

decorative gift bags

 

 



and hats

 

 

I'm hoping to sell lots so we can have a really nice

 and Christmas season with a little less stress!!

 

Is that possible??

 

Here's hoping!!

Look Hoots Wearing the New Hat I Made

I made this Owl hat yesterday

 from a pattern I purchased from http://www.crazysockscrochet.com/

and I think Ezie looks pretty darn cute in it!

A Birthday and A Blast from the Past!

Saturday my 9th grandbaby, Jesse, turned one. I can't believe how fast the year went by! I made these two little bags for him and some shapes and matching squares to put in them.



I also made this hat for my nephew, Levi, who collects hats. Levi is having a birthday soon and my sister wanted a hat similiar to the one our Grandma had made for us out of Beer Cans back in the 70's. Remember those? The hat was easy to make and I think it turned out pretty cute.

I've also been working on my swaps and can't wait to share some pictures of the things I've been making for those. I need to go sew some more and finish up the rest of the, way to many, swaps I joined.

Also if you can please include my Dad in your prayers and send any healing thought towards him in Kansas I would really appreciate it.

Have a wonderful and productive day!!!!

Things I've Been Making Lately

I can't really claim these two outfits, Santa brought them to Mallory for Christmas. Santa brought both of Mallory's American Girl Dolls, Sonali and Addy, a dress, a blouse, a hat, a pillow and a blanket. I wish I had the pattern for these because they turned out pretty cute! This is me and my Mom. I made myself a little scarf out of some of my leftover yarn.

I've made several of these hats lately

and here are a few pictures of some of my favorite people wearing them.

This is my grandaughter, Olivia wearing her blue hat

These are two of my beautiful sisters, Cathy and Stacey.

looks so cute in her hat!!

This is my niece, Jessica wearing a gray hat I made for her.

Isn't she beautiful?!?!?!!!!!

I love making the hats and I'm glad all the girls are enjoying them!

I have more things to show you, but I'll save them for another day.

Have a wonderful day!!

I Think I'm Going to be Busy!

Here's the same hat as yesterday just in a different color and size.

I already have 3 requests to make hats for people.

I love when people like what I make!!


Have a wonderful day!

You know what I'll be doing!

A Summer of Sewing and Crocheting

I have been doing a lot of sewing and crocheting so far this summer. Here's some of the things I made during the last week. I have more, but they're for a swap so I'll have to show them later.

Here's a newspaper boy style hat that I crocheted. Jace isn't happy about modeling it for me, but I don't have a girl that size so he's stuck.

I made another bag and was going to use it for a swap,

but I decided to keep this one for myself.

I made this bag for my sister Cathy

and this apron for my sister Cathy.
The receipt for the fabric was dated Nov. 8.
Thanks for being so patient Cathy!!


I have been having a blast sewing! I'm making Mallory a dress for her to wear on her birthday on Saturday and she wants another one in plaid, so I'll be working on those. I'm also almost done with another hat but in a cream color.
Busy, Busy, Busy!!
I love it!
