This week, I created a unicorn hat for my youngest daughter who LOVES all things unicorn. Her favorite colors are white, rainbow, and silver so I incorporated all of these colors into the hat. The hat itself is mostly all white. The mane and pom pom balls are rainbow colored and the lavender horn has silver stitching around it. It shines in the light.

My daughter squealed with delight when she came home from school yesterday and saw this hat, and then wore it to school today to show it off to all of her friends. I think I achieved the best mom award this week from her. ;)

I have this hat available in my Etsy store now. You can find it HERE.

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.

Feminine Chic Bow Ties
Christmas is right around the corner and I have been a busy crocheting bee, catching up on all of my Christmas orders. One of my beloved customers requested infinity bow tie scarves. She wanted one in black with a cream bow tie clip, and the other in grey with a black bow tie clip.


I just LOVE how these turned out. They are both very feminine and chic.
She also ordered this adorable grey with black bow tie Geeky Chic Scarflette to match her infinity scarf.

They make the perfect mommy and me scarves!
Both of the bow tie infinity scarves will be available in my Etsy store after the holidays.

The Rainbow Fishy Hat

Yesterday I finished this ADORABLE Rainbow Fishy hat for my daughter Zella. The pattern for the hat was created by Mary Angel of Angels Chest on Etsy and you can find the pattern HERE. I did use a different gauge hook than what was required to create the fish eyes. I used a G hook instead of a J. I also started the eyes using the magic ring method.

Zella absolutely LOVES the hat and wore it to school this morning. She was all smiles!
The hat is available for purchase in my Etsy store. You can find it HERE.

Happy The Cheeseburger Hat
My oldest daughter, Xiera, has been wanting me to crochet a cheeseburger hat for her for quite sometime now. She had told me that she wanted it to be smiling and to look super cute with sesame seeds on the bun. At the moment, I am all caught up with orders, so I decided to create this fun little hat for her; especially since it IS hat day at school today. ;)

Meet Happy the Cheeseburger hat. I have to admit, he did turn out super Kawaii. Just look at those rosy pink cheeks.

I think I nailed it because I got her approval. What do you think?

Just look at that smile. She even has a tee shirt that matches!

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.

Little Red Riding Hood

Yesterday I finished a beautiful custom Red Riding Hood cape. The cape is for a dear customer of mine. Her daughter is dressing up as Red Riding Hood for Halloween and the cape completes her costume.

I purchased the pattern from jkdepriest on Etsy. You can find the pattern HERE. The pattern only goes up to a size 12 so I added a few extra stitches and rows and used a J hook instead of an I to make the cape fit a size 14.

The pattern is very easy to read and follow. I was actually able to finish this cape within two days. Of course I worked on it all day yesterday so that I could finish it in time to be mailed out and hopefully arrive this weekend; just in time for her daughter to enjoy wearing it at a Halloween party.

Spooky the Kitty Cat Hat

Over the weekend I tested the most adorable pattern created by the very talented Heidi of Snappy Tots. This cute little pumpkin top hat is very versatile and can be made into a variety of characters and animals. I decided to test the pattern and make it into a cute Spooky the Kitty Cat Hat for my little kitty cat lover.



I think it turned out super cute. Heidi of Snappy Tots creates the most FABULOUS crochet designs. I used one of her patterns to create the minion hats I shared previously. You can find Heidi's patterns available HERE on Ravelry. You can fan her HERE on Facebook.

Crocheting The Days Away
These past few weeks have been BUSY!! My little fingers and crochet hooks have been making some WONDERFUL hats and things for my beloved customers, family, and friends. I actually had to put my Etsy store on vacation until after Halloween, just so I can play catch up! Here are just some of the items I have been working on these past few weeks while I was missing from action in the blogosphere.








The last one is a Valentine inspired newborn stocking hat with matching diaper cover with a bracelet to match. I have a customer that is expecting a precious baby girl in January and I can't wait to see pictures of her wearing this!
As you can tell I have been super busy and this is only half of my orders, so I must get back to work! :)
