More Summer Flip Flop Styles

Over the weekend I found about nine pairs of flip flops left to customize so I decided to customize a few to add to my Etsy store. The first pair I pulled out was a brightly rainbow colored pair. The first thing that came to my mind was how perfect these would be for a pool party. I added a few fun colored fish to them and accented them with some fun fringe green yarn that resembles seaweed. You can find them in my Etsy store HERE.

The next pair I found was black with silver hearts. I decided to crochet some Monster High skulls to add to them since they had that punk rock look to them. You can find these fun Monster High Flip Flops HERE.

The last pair I had customized a little while ago. I liked the flower pattern on these. I decided to crochet a flower appliqué that resembled the flowers within the pattern on them. You can find these pretty Navy Daisy Flower Flip Flops HERE.

New Flower Flip Flops

This week one of my dear customers mailed a few pairs of flip flops for me to customize. She told me to surprise her so I had a bit of fun embellishing these.
The first one had peace signs all over them. I decided to put peace signs into the centers of the flowers.

I think they turned out really groovy, don't you think?
The next pair was leopard print. I crocheted red flowers for these and sewed a pair of leopard printed buttons onto them.

I think these turned out beautiful and are my new favorites!

Dabbling a Little Here and a Little There

I recently found a great idea on a lovely blog I frequent a lot. I have a pair of bird sewing scissors that are sometimes uncomfortable to use. They leave indentations around my fingers. I don't use them often because of this reason...until now! I found this BRILLIANT idea to crochet grips around the finger holes on the scissors at One Sheepish Girl.

I adore the colors coral and pink together so I decided to use those colors for the grips. Now they are super comfy to use and pretty too!
I also finished a cute pair of flip flops for a dear customer of mine late last week that I have been meaning to share.

They are a gift for her neighbor who is a friend of her teenage daughter. I call these Lavender Fields and I really like the colors on this one. They turned out very nice.

Cute Custom Creations

I just have to say that I have the best customers EVER! They all have such wonderful custom ideas. My dear friend Bekah had asked me to crochet a pair of custom crochet Bubble Guppy Flip Flops for her daughter to wear for her upcoming Bubble Guppies themed birthday party. She requested the character Oona from the show on the flip flops. This is what I came up with!

I had found the green fun fringe yarn in my yarn stash at the last minute and thought it would be the perfect touch to add as I think it resembles seaweed.
This is a picture of Oona with all of her Bubble Guppy friends from the show.

Another adorable custom I had made late last week was this adorable newborn sock monkey hat and diaper cover set with suspenders.

I used a darker grey on this custom set with accents of blue jean blue and white.

Friday Flip Flops

I have had a BUSY week this week. The girls both had field trips this week with their classes that hubby and I switched off to volunteer for. I have also been working on custom flip flop orders this week.
These cute ice cream social flip flops were made for my dear cousin-in-law in Florida. She has 2 sweet little girls that are going to love these.

The striped infant flip flops were custom made for an old high school friend of mine who recently had a beautiful baby girl.

The Shades of Purple flip flops and Lavender Rose flip flops were custom made for a dear customer of mine. They are for her teenage daughters.


This week we also gained a new member to our family. Meet Cupcake...

She is 8 weeks old and spends most of her day on the girls' bottom bunk bed having sweet kitten dreams. Sadly she has conjunctivitis (pink eye) and had to visit the vet yesterday because of it. She is now on medicine and is starting to slowly feel much better. Isn't she precious?

Flipping For Whimsy Owl Flops

I have been in the mood to crochet owls lately. So I had this great idea....Why don't I put these crochet owls onto flip flops?

Best Idea EVER!! These particular flip flops were custom made for a dear customer so unfortunately they are already sold, but I am going to recreate them so that I can list them in my Etsy.
I also made these Hoot! Hoot! owls in a size 1/2 in little girls.

I will have these available in my store by early next week.
***A little update...As soon as Zella saw the Kawaii Panda Bear flip flops, she put them on and claimed them as her own. I guess I will have to remake them to add to my store too. ;)***

A Beautiful Day to Crochet...

I have been busy today enjoying the great outdoors while crocheting some new super cute things. Today I finished these Kawaii Panda Bear Flip Flops.

They are a size 12/13 in little girls. I am debating whether or not to add these to my Etsy store or not because Zella LOVES panda bears and these are her size. I guess I will have to wait until she gets home from school to see what she thinks. ;)
Another new item I finished today is this adorable Geeky Chic Scarflette with bow. I made this for Brittney of Ella Rose Portrait Arts to use in an upcoming photo shoot. She is already preparing for Back-To-School photo shoots.

I added a touch of silver in with the gray on the bow for an added glitzy diva touch.

I absolutely love kicking back in my Penelope Purple Flip Flops and crocheting the day away outdoors.

In other news; I took Zella and Xiera this week to get their haircuts. Xiera just got her normal trim but Zella felt a bit daring and wanted a shorter hairstyle.

She loved it at first, but by the next morning she was in tears telling me she looked like a boy. So we sat down at the computer and googled famous girls and women with short hairstyles. First we looked at the very famous Disney princess, Snow White, and then Emma Watson's adorable pixie haircut (The actress from Harry Potter who played Hermione Granger.) She started feeling much better and is beginning to embrace her cute new hairstyle. We put it up in a cute little ponytail today with a big purple bow. It is still long enough to be pulled back so that made her morning.

Kitty Cat Flip Flops

My oldest daughter's birthday is just around the corner so I wanted to make her a little something special. She adores all things with kitty cats so I thought I would custom make her a pair of kitty cat flip flops.

I think they turned out ADORABLE! I have a few more pairs of flip flops in my inventory so I will have to see if I can recreate a pair similar to this to put in my Etsy store.
Brittney of Ella Rose Portrait Arts shared some more beautiful pictures that she took of a pretty little princess wearing the pretty little pixie hat I had recently created.


I plan to add this sweet hat to my Etsy store the beginning of next week.

Handsome In His Bow Tie

Brittney of Ella Rose Portrait Arts shared these PRECIOUS pictures she took of this very handsome cutie pie wearing the newsie hat, pants, and bow tie set I crocheted.
I just love him in his little bow tie with his sweet little toes peeking out at the bottom of those pants! :)

I will have this set available in my Etsy store tomorrow evening.
I have been busy this week embellishing more flip flops.


I finished these two custom pairs of flip flops in shades of blue for a dear customer of mine.

This Penelope Purple pair was custom made for yours truly. ;)

They match my bathing suit perfectly.

A Precious Little Gnome

I just HAVE to share this beautiful picture that Brittney of Ella Rose Portrait Arts took of this little sweetie wearing the gnome hat I made. How absolutely precious.

I can't wait to see more from this session.
I also wanted to share another set of flip flops I created yesterday.

These Punk Rock Princess Flip Flops are one of a kind and are a size 8-9 in little girls. They are listed in my Etsy store, and you can find them HERE.

Embellishing Flip Flops

This past weekend I discovered a box of flip flops I had purchased last year. I guess I got so caught up with custom orders and other projects that I forgot about them. I decided to change these simple and plain flip flops into fun and fabulous flip flops by adding some colorful crochet flowers and leaves.

I have already listed most of these in my Etsy store. The yellow Sherbet Dreams flip flops are already sold but I plan to make another similar pair to add to my store.

These Island Escape pink flamingo Flip Flops are a size 8-9 in little girls. They are one of a kind and you can find them in my Etsy store HERE.

The Pool Side Flips Flops were made to match Gymboree's Aqua Summer Line, and the Gap's We Love Geo Prints Line. They are a size 12-13 and you can find them HERE in my Etsy store.

These next flip flops were made to match Gymboree's Surf Adventure Line. They are a size 12-13 in little girls and you can find them HERE.

Last are the Ice Cream Social flip flops. They are one of a kind and are a size 8-9 in little girls. You can find them in my Etsy store HERE.
