Now, I have added to my reportarie! Slippers! The first ones I made were these adorable dino booties!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/308800_166317640119400_121805004570664_335835_1395202632_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="480" width="640" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/308800_166317640119400_121805004570664_335835_1395202632_n.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Then, I made my niece & nephew some Santa slippers for Christmas.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/390238_213247998759697_121805004570664_460521_1721563730_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="720" width="960" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/390238_213247998759697_121805004570664_460521_1721563730_n.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Last week, I made OWLS! A friend in town ordered these 4 owl slippers for her daughter & 3 nieces. I posted them on my Facebook page, and instantly got 4 orders for them! I think I need to make myself a cute pair too :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/305948_271969286220901_121805004570664_600157_1582388553_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="960" width="717" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/305948_271969286220901_121805004570664_600157_1582388553_n.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
One thing I did make for myself was a skinny scarf! I love scarves, and now that it`s spring, I thought it was time to hang up my big, bulky scarves. Still needing that little extra for some outfits, I thought these would be a cute & fun way to jazz up some shirts!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/535997_271951386222691_121805004570664_600135_197683265_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="960" width="717" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/535997_271951386222691_121805004570664_600135_197683265_n.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I have been one busy little bee!! I unveiled Ethan`s Hat to roarinig response! In one week, I got orders for 30 owls! THIRTY!! You are all so amazing, to help me support such an amazing cause!!<br />
<br />
Our current total donation from Beyond Top is $150! And with Ethan`s mom & dad matching my donation, a grand total of $300 has been collected so far!<br />
<br />
Remember, $5 from each Ethan`s Hat will be donated, no matter when it is purchased. Seven days from now, 7 months, 7 years, it does not matter. A donation will be made! This is not a one month promotion, just like the hospital is not a one time need. <br />
<br />
Even after the hospital opens, it will continue to require donations to help buy new medical equipment, and supplies neccessary to help these children and their families. <br />
<br />
Ethan`s Hat will forever be my symbol of hope for all of the children in Saskatchewan that need this hospital, and I will continute to do what I can to help raise money to get this hospital up & running!<br />
<br />
Thank you all so much for helping me by purchasing Ethan`s Hat!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06177908760752916434noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416326951422325747.post-70794514716706431222012-02-03T16:36:00.000-07:002012-04-09T09:33:37.229-06:00Doing Our Part<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-98G3WxjQsqU/T4MBNFrGfYI/AAAAAAAAASc/gl6LhhZ0Fns/s1600/DSCF1458.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="150" width="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-98G3WxjQsqU/T4MBNFrGfYI/AAAAAAAAASc/gl6LhhZ0Fns/s200/DSCF1458.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Is this not the cutest owl hat in the world? I love it! It is so bright & cheerful!! I made this adorable little guy for one my classmates, Lisa. I have know Lisa since eighth grade. Lisa is due with her second baby this August. She also has a little angel, Ethan. Sadly, Lisa`s little boy Ethan passed away May 1, 2011. He would have been 1 year old on May 15, 2011. I was absolutely honored when Lisa, who I consider to be an amazingly strong woman, asked me to make the new baby it`s very first hat! <br />
<br />
In honor of Ethan, & to help so many other babies out there, I have decided to name this owl hat Ethan`s Hat, and to donate $5 from every Ethan`s Hat sold to the Saskatchewan Children`s Hospital Foundation. And to make Lisa even more amazing, she is matching my donations made from the sales of Ethan`s Hats!! <br />
<br />
Saskatchewan really needs this hospital. Currently, parents with sick children have to travel to other provinces, & even to the US to get treatment for their children. They are far away from home, family, & their support systems. Having the Children`s Hospital in Saskatoon would mean so much to these families. There would be far less travelling, less expenses, the list goes on.<br />
<br />
I personally know of the need for this hospital. My 7 year old son was born 6 weeks premature, & we were told he would likely need immediate open heart surgery once he was born, which would also include an air transfer to Edmonton`s Stollery Children`s Hospital. Thankfully, after closer monitoring, he did not require surgery, but was in the NICU for eight days. He is still monitored, & may one day yet require heart surgery.<br />
<br />
<br />
My friend Lisa`s little Ethan had Tetrology of Fallot, a congenital heart defect. He also had a second defect, called pulmonary atresia (meaning he had no pulmonary artery at all which is how the body supplies oxygen to the lungs and back to the rest of the body). Even when he was sick, Ethan was the happiest baby! I loved to looks at his photos, he was always smiling! To treat Ethan`s condition, his mom & dad fought long and hard. They ended up in California! So far away!! His surgery was a success, and we need to bring those surgeries to Saskatchewan. Adding travel plans to the stress of a sick child is just not fair. <br />
<br />
A very good friend of mine has an 8 year old daughter with Pulmonary Hypertension. Liv is on oxygen 24 hours a day, because her heart has put so much pressure on her left lung, that it won`t work properly. Every 2 to 3 months, Liv & her mom make the nine hour drive to the Stollery Children`s Hospital for testing. Can you imagine how much easier it would be if they only had to travel to Saskatoon, a mere two hours away? <br />
<br />
Those are 2 stories of children who need this hospital. If you`d like to do more, please check out both the <a href="http://www.childrenshospitalsask.ca/page.aspx?pid=329">Foundation`s webpage</a>, and their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Childrens-Hospital-Foundation-of-Saskatchewan/139806579654?sk=info">Facebook page</a>. Also, as Lisa progresses through her second pregnancy, say a little thought to big brother Ethan in heaven, to watch over his mommy, daddy, & new baby sibling.Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06177908760752916434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416326951422325747.post-49265878886716444932012-01-26T13:54:00.001-07:002012-01-26T13:54:11.895-07:00Sweetheart Sale!To celebrate Valentine`s Day, I am having a Sweetheart Sale!

I have come up with a fabulous way to increase traffic for us both! AND, you will be rewarded with free Beyond Top items!!<br />
<br />
Details!<br />
I will be creating a photo album for photographers who have bought (and used!) props from Beyond Top. If you are willing to "give" me your photos using an item made by me, I`m going to give you hats! For every 2 photos you let me use in my album, you will get a $15 credit towards an item from me! There are, as always, rules we all need to follow, so here they are!<br />
- Prop in photo MUST be made by me. <br />
<br />
- I ask for a smaller watermark, & then I will link to you (either personal FB page, or if you have a website, whichever you`d prefer, or both).<br />
<br />
- You are able to "save up" your credits, however, you are only able to get 2 credits a month ($30/month). <br />
<br />
- All overages, including shipping, must be paid through Paypal before your item is created and/or shipped. <br />
<br />
- Please email your photos to beyondtop@hotmail.com<br />
<br />
If you are interested, let me know! Thank you for shopping at Beyond Top!!<br />

To do so, I am reintroducing my blog. I hope you subscribe! Here, I will post specials, giveaways I am involved in, & what I am working on! <br />
<br />
In the last year since I`ve posted, I been very, very busy! In November & December of 2011, I made a total of more than 200 hats. I also learned how to make adorable little slippers! I am hoping to expand to even more acessories (mitts, scarves, etc). <br />
<br />
I will get photos posted, albeit slowly. Be sure to check back often! I will also categorize the hats as well, so if you are looking for something specific, it will be easy to find. <br />
<br />
If you have any questions, please don`t hesitate to ask!<br />
<br />
Happy Monday :)<br />

Here is a sample of some of the recent ones I have done!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmvC9Sz-SI/AAAAAAAAAM0/JMnopryH7Ho/s1600/IMG_1813.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmvC9Sz-SI/AAAAAAAAAM0/JMnopryH7Ho/s200/IMG_1813.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510628084412578082" /></a><br />This bear is made with purple `fluff`, mixed with a strand of plain purple as well. It is very thick & warm! I think it`s adorable!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmvCvQGz_I/AAAAAAAAAMs/AYhbhJeKRPk/s1600/IMG_1812.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmvCvQGz_I/AAAAAAAAAMs/AYhbhJeKRPk/s200/IMG_1812.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510628080643133426" /></a><br />The owl is also made with `fluff`, this time in brown & black, double stranded with a matching brown. This guy is VERY popular!!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmvCFWLNuI/AAAAAAAAAMk/-3t9nL7HTns/s1600/IMG_1811.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmvCFWLNuI/AAAAAAAAAMk/-3t9nL7HTns/s200/IMG_1811.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510628069394298594" /></a><br />M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! Mickey! A friend of mine is taking her 2 little boys to Disney this fall, & wanted something for evenings/nights when it`s cooler. What else do you wear to Disney but Mickey??<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmvBrwJTVI/AAAAAAAAAMc/4agoeJEEe5g/s1600/IMG_1908.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmvBrwJTVI/AAAAAAAAAMc/4agoeJEEe5g/s200/IMG_1908.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510628062523903314" /></a><br />This penguin just screams winter to me!

Perfect for a newborn!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmr8o7iXhI/AAAAAAAAALk/L7_uNye-zik/s1600/IMG_1914.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmr8o7iXhI/AAAAAAAAALk/L7_uNye-zik/s200/IMG_1914.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510624677332147730" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmr7x9hssI/AAAAAAAAALc/zs7wvpaiEMQ/s1600/IMG_1912.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/THmr7x9hssI/AAAAAAAAALc/zs7wvpaiEMQ/s200/IMG_1912.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510624662576542402" /></a><br />This fluffy cocoon is made with white mohair yarn, & I think it make an adorable prop for a winter baby!!

I filled pages & pages of a notebook with ideas & now to find some guinea pigs!! Here is just a sample of ideas for you to consider!!<br /><br /><strong>Hats</strong><br />Oscar, Abby Cadabby, Zoe & Cookie Monster<br />Elephant<br />Winnie the Pooh & friends (Tigger, Eyeore & Piglet)<br />Fall color ideas - brown & orange, brown cream green & orange, black & orange for Halloween<br />Candy Corn & Jack O`lanterns<br />PLUS more ideas for Christmas!!<br /><br /><strong>Clippies</strong><br />I was playiing around with some embellishments I found in my scrap stash & came up with "Posh Clippies", fun little clips with a felt or wood embellishment glued onto them! Then I wondered if it would would with little crocheted embellishments (I am going to call them Bitties!) & came up TONS of ideas! Flowers, fruit, ladybugs, characters, the list is ENDLESS! <br /><br />The crocheted bitties can also be sewn onto a hat, making for a cute option if you don`t want a flower!! Examples to come soon, as I gear up for fall/winter & try to get a bit of a basic hat stockpile going!! So many ideas are swimming through my head, I had to grab a notebook to make I don`t forget anything!! Keep watching for pictures, either here or on FB, I am hoping to get some posted today!!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06177908760752916434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416326951422325747.post-38644847816771489382010-08-24T18:50:00.002-06:002010-08-24T18:53:01.652-06:00I Am A Hat Machine!Hello all! I am still around, just busy busy making hats :) Sadly, my desktop, with my pictures, is dying a slow & painful death, making it next to impossible for me to upload pictures to my blog!! I keep trying, & hope to get some of my latest work up soon!!<br /><br />This past weekend, I was in my first craft show, at Greenwater Lake! Art in the Park was a huge success, & I had lots of interest!! Now, I am just getting an order ready for an online store based out of Lloydminster, & staying on top of other hat orders as well. Thanks for reading along :) And hopefully, pictures will come soon!!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06177908760752916434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416326951422325747.post-44297139179522980722010-07-31T14:48:00.000-06:002010-07-31T14:54:35.767-06:00The Stork Pouch/HammockThis is a Stork Pouch! It is a very adorable photo prop!! An off camera assistant (usually mom or dad) holds up the end out of the camera's lens, and the baby snuggles down in the little pouch. The result? The cutest little baby photo!! <br /><br />This can also be used as a hammock for a baby. The flat end is long enough to tie to 2 ends, creating a little siesta spot & the perfect newborn photo!! I don't have photos of the stork pouch/hammock in action, but I will post them once I get some!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TFSMpesJeFI/AAAAAAAAALE/fvVWWSu9kmo/s1600/July+2010+108.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TFSMpesJeFI/AAAAAAAAALE/fvVWWSu9kmo/s320/July+2010+108.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500175689166977106" /></a><br /><br />This will hold babies up to 13 pounds! I tested it on my cat (hehe), & she is 12 pounds, so she fit nicely into the pouch, as much as she hated it!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06177908760752916434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416326951422325747.post-8397617403705217442010-07-15T14:40:00.000-06:002010-07-15T14:54:49.328-06:00The Most Popular Granny!In the custom work I have done, the most popular for little girls (and mommies alike!) has been the Granny. The hat is "hole-y", but you can add a cuff, a brim, stripes, flowers, buttons, scalloped edges, it's endless!! I have done solid colored hats, hats with 2 strips of another color, mutli-colored, really, whatever your heart desires!! Here is a small sampling of some of the Granny hats.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91avV5rxI/AAAAAAAAAK0/2_fl3KPQujA/s1600/February+2010+172.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91avV5rxI/AAAAAAAAAK0/2_fl3KPQujA/s320/February+2010+172.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494239172660670226" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91aKDAquI/AAAAAAAAAKs/qlfzm7b_d7Y/s1600/May+2010+055.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91aKDAquI/AAAAAAAAAKs/qlfzm7b_d7Y/s320/May+2010+055.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494239162649324258" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91ZktEDjI/AAAAAAAAAKk/9q0GfcnRVhE/s1600/May+2010+053.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91ZktEDjI/AAAAAAAAAKk/9q0GfcnRVhE/s320/May+2010+053.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494239152625159730" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91ZBpYAWI/AAAAAAAAAKc/jFs6LXV9f3Y/s1600/May+2010+046.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91ZBpYAWI/AAAAAAAAAKc/jFs6LXV9f3Y/s320/May+2010+046.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494239143214448994" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91YY885zI/AAAAAAAAAKU/PleMtt8UkB0/s1600/May+2010+004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD91YY885zI/AAAAAAAAAKU/PleMtt8UkB0/s320/May+2010+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494239132290705202" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9zwFW3q-I/AAAAAAAAAJk/xeDQn6d8Vzo/s1600/February+2010+166.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9zwFW3q-I/AAAAAAAAAJk/xeDQn6d8Vzo/s320/February+2010+166.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494237340324309986" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9zvnuIc2I/AAAAAAAAAJc/A6di9MLZtNc/s1600/January+040.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9zvnuIc2I/AAAAAAAAAJc/A6di9MLZtNc/s320/January+040.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494237332368814946" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9zu-GB3fI/AAAAAAAAAJU/RIXTKnrB4vA/s1600/June+2010+105.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9zu-GB3fI/AAAAAAAAAJU/RIXTKnrB4vA/s320/June+2010+105.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494237321194757618" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9zuevX_rI/AAAAAAAAAJM/xFJTf8_lo3Q/s1600/June+2010+090.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9zuevX_rI/AAAAAAAAAJM/xFJTf8_lo3Q/s320/June+2010+090.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494237312778239666" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9ztlXWbWI/AAAAAAAAAJE/PH4kTOHlY60/s1600/June+2010+005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sEFlR2x1FUw/TD9ztlXWbWI/AAAAAAAAAJE/PH4kTOHlY60/s320/June+2010+005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494237297376652642" /></a>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06177908760752916434noreply@blogger.com2
