It's Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas

Our tree is up...

And decorated with our favorite treasured ornaments.

The stockings are all hung and we have a new little friend who came to visit us from the North Pole.

Her name is Holly and she is such a sweet yet mischievous little elf. She has been very busy popping up in different places in our home every morning. She is Santa's spy and she leaves us every night to tell Santa Claus if the girls were being naughty or nice.

The girls simply adore her as do I! :)
Last week Xiera and Zella took another art class making Christmas ornaments. They made many different kinds. They made puzzle piece wreathes, stamped Christmas cards, gingerbread people, and glitter ornament balls.

I am finishing up the last of my custom Christmas orders this evening and mailing them out in the morning. I am really cutting too close this year. Note to self: **Remember to switch your Etsy store to vacation mode right after black Friday to ensure all orders will get out in time for Christmas.** I have come to realize that people do not read the BOLD notice at the top of my store stating that I am no longer taking Christmas orders after December 2nd. I have pulled many late nighters because of this but even with the lack of sleep that I have had, I still have been very pleased with a few custom orders I have created.
One of my favorites was this custom stocking hat I made. It is reversed in color compared to my original Holly Jolly Elf hat and features a holly leaf and berries on the front cuff band with a red pom pom ball dangling from the end instead of a bell.


It turned out VERY cute I think!

Ruffles and a Valentine Treasury

I would like to thank ImSewCrafty for including my Euro Floral Cloche hat in her adorable Valentine treasury. Everything looks so pretty and sugary sweet. You can view the treasury HERE. This treasury has really put me in the Valentine mood! I think I may crochet a few hearts this evening. There is a heart swag pattern I have been wanting to work on.
I recently finished a pair of girly ruffle leg warmers in shades of green for a special mommy customer. I really like this style in green.

New listings, New Designs

Sugar3 Faze2 is having their Boy Meets Girl Valentine themed launch this week. I listed a brand new leg warmer design for the occasion.

I have been busy today adding a few more designs to my Etsy store. A few oldies like the Cat's Hat and The Elf Hat. And a few newbies too!

Xiera has been asking me to make her a kitty cat hat for a long time now so I went ahead and made her one similar to one I had made for a customer last year.

I have another brand new design to share; The Fun Fringe Tassel Hat.

This cute hat can be made in an infant size up to an adult size. It can also be made in a variety of colors.

You can find Kitty Cuteness and the Fun Fringe Tassel Hat both listed in my Etsy store.

Holiday Custom Gifts

The Christmas holiday is approaching faster than you can say "Ho! Ho! Ho!" And the custom orders are pouring in! All of my lovely customers have been keeping my fingers busy with elf hats, gingerbread men hats, candy cane leg warmers, and custom gift orders for their loved ones.

Here are a few custom orders I mailed out this week! I had Zella model this adorable hot pink cowgirl hat trimmed in black right before I mailed it out yesterday. I really like the pink and black combo for this!
Here is the front view..

and the side view...

The mini me hats are still as popular as ever. This week I made one for a baby boy! I really like his little blond curl I stitched on. :)

I also wanted to announce that I am now a proud member of the Ebay Boutique Group
