Things I Have Been Working On

I am officially all caught up with orders! What a wonderful feeling it is to actually say that! I have had quite a bit of orders this month and just finished and mailed out my last one today.
The hungry caterpillar hat was made for a sweet little girl who is turning one next week.

At the last minute her mom requested I stitch her name Elea Heart somewhere on the hat with her age 1. I decided to stitch her name onto the caterpillar's body and the last segment near the caterpillar's head, I stitched a heart to represent her name and a number one to represent the age she is turning. I think it turned out very cute!

St. Patrick's Day was earlier on this week, and I had quite a few bearded leprechaun hat orders.

What I love the most, is the customer pictures I received of the cuties who wore these hats on St. Patrick's Day! <3


For Etsy orders, I recreated another cute Dave the minion backpack.

And today I finished and mailed out this fun and colorful Rainbow Fish hat. It is a gift for a young man who loves fish.

Minion Mayhem This Halloween

Yesterday I finished my very last Halloween order and am so thrilled to begin working on Christmas items! But first I need to work on a few items my daughters have requested that I make for them. This Halloween is all about Minions this year. I cannot even count how many minion hats I have made. Even my own daughters are dressing up as Despicable Me characters this year. ;) The order I had just finished was for a family of 4 who are all dressing up as minions. They wanted each of their hats to look completely different so I came up with this.

I think the evil minion with two eyes turned out so funny and cute!

Another minion order I had made recently was a Dave the minion hat with matching backpack.

The backpack was a lot of fun to make. I have to admit that the drawstring part was a little tricky to put in at first, but I figured it out.

I found the patterns to create all of these fantastic minion creations on Ravelry. Heidi of Snappy Tots created both the minion hats and backpacks patterns. Her patterns are very easy to follow and fun to create! You can find the pattern for the minion hats HERE and the pattern for the minion backpack HERE. You can also keep updated on her recent pattern designs on her Facebook PAGE.
