Some More Mohawks.

It`s Rider season here in Saskatchewan, so I have been making Rider hats like CRAZY! This is a brimmed hat with a mohawk, and then 2 more earflap mohawks, with different details.


These hot pink & black mohawks are for a mom & her daughter. How cute are they??

In getting ready for winter, a lot of moms have been ordering hats! Here is a sample of some of the recent ones I have done!


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!


The owl is also made with `fluff`, this time in brown & black, double stranded with a matching brown. This guy is VERY popular!!


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??


This penguin just screams winter to me! He`s so cute, & will be so warm & comfy!! My mother in law loves penquins, so I may have to make her one for Christmas!

Posh Clippies!

Here are some examples of the `Posh Clippes` I came up with! I plan to get some more seasonal ones made up, once I get to the city & buy some! Right now, I have Easter, Hallowen & fall, bugs/animals & stars.

Some Photography Props

Here are some more props!

I made this sweet little rosebud hat with some very soft, light pink yarn & then sewed on 2 rows of cream colored petals. Perfect for a newborn!



This fluffy cocoon is made with white mohair yarn, & I think it make an adorable prop for a winter baby!! It`s very soft, & doubled up with some basic white yarn to make it thicker.


This is my latest favorite hat! I love the colors (aqua blue, lime green & hot pink), and the little circles just make it fun!!

Swimming With Ideas!!

I was online last night & hit a jackpot of ideas for hats AND clippies!! 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!!

Hats
Oscar, Abby Cadabby, Zoe & Cookie Monster
Elephant
Winnie the Pooh & friends (Tigger, Eyeore & Piglet)
Fall color ideas - brown & orange, brown cream green & orange, black & orange for Halloween
Candy Corn & Jack O`lanterns
PLUS more ideas for Christmas!!

Clippies
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!

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!!

I 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!!

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!!

The Stork Pouch/Hammock

This 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!!

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!




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!
