Blatant Self Promotion, Dig Me. Or Die.

I've been a busy little bee. A buzzing busy bee flitting around from flowers to flower, attacking people with my disproportionate ass, making said people sad and swollen.

I made our dear dear friend Vic a custom set and a hat for her daughter. I'm assuming her daughter doesn't read my blog, otherwise I'm ruining one of her Christmas presents.

Oh well. If you're Vic's daughter and you're reading this, SURPRISE!!!

AND there is no Santa Claus.

This is their order:


Speaking of Christmas, this is a new set I made up last weekend with the holidays in mind. The luxury merino wool yarn I've been using is so freaking soft and comfy it's unbelievable.

I looked pissed in the second photo. Probably thinking 'mother frugging camera...take the damn photo already'.


These are the fingerless gloves I came up with using the luxury 100% Peruvian Wool I recently got my hands in, on. ha.
It's a much more delicate yarn than I'm used to using and I love love it. The buttons are vintage from my grandmother's incredibly large stash. I bet they were from a baby's layette...or something dreamy like that.

I can make them longer or shorter too...I just thought this was a good length for a sample.


I'm working on these darling baby girl hats with handmade posey appliques if anyone is interested in a special gift for a baby girl! I snapped a quick photo of the bottom of the hat, but I don't have it finished, nor do I have a baby model. Such is life, eh?


And if anyone was interested in my dieting so far, I weighed myself yesterday after 20 days of a strict regime and I've lost 14 pounds.

Sooooo a million more to go! Yay Me!

Miss Yvonne's Starts a Hatting Riot!

I guess I shouldn't have mentioned Miss Yvonne in my last post, cause I'm mentioning her again today in this post...Oh well, I guess she deserves it, sort of.

So anyways, a while ago Miss Yvonne asked me to make her some baby hats for her freelance photography business. I said 'Oh yeah, sure, sure...I'll get right at it' and then I never did. Mainly because I didn't have the time, otherwise because she's like my blog sister or second cousin, I decided to put her off until I absolutely had to deal with her and her odd request for the recipe to the spicy chicken dip I made for the Fourth of July party six years ago.

Not that her request was all that odd. I do make hats. Adorable baby hats and Ultra-Cute adult hats and accessories for the winter. But alas, it is freaking hot and I have no business at all...so here at the hats I made for Miss Yvonne.
I'm going to let her pick which ones she wants to purchase and then the ones that are left over will go at the same discounted price that I am giving to her to the first people that contact me at my email. I'll also do custom orders at reduced prices till the end of September.

This is my favorite one, it's for newborns or smaller babies. I think the colors would look great with any hair/eye color. I might have to make one for myself for the winter...


Bear hats are always cute. It's odd that I've never made them before. This is also in a smaller size. It's hard to size baby hats because baby's heads are always so varying in roundness. This could be worn by a larger newborn up to 6 months.




I love stars, pink and yellow! LOVE earflaps and pom poms. So I just threw them all on one hat here.
This hat is larger 6-12 months.



I made this hat for Max last year and got so many compliments on it. I call it 'The Little Red Pixie Hood', I'm so original. This hat is for any size up from 9 months, really. You can make it tighter with the pom pom's strings.




This is Jeremiah's favorite of the new hats. It's larger but can be worn from 6-18 months. It almost fits Elijah and he is a giant, but it would definitely work well a little slouchier for a small infant.



This one is plain tan and lavender, a 'nipple' hat that I did a lot of orders for two winters ago. It seems that some parents or gift givers like the simplicity of them, so I decided to make up one and see if they're still popular. It's a small, 0-6 months.



This one I call my 'Rainbow Brite' hat....I made it for Max and she hated it.
Surprise, surprise. It's a larger size 18mths-3 years.
