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!

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?

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.

I Dream of Cream

Yesterday I finished this gorgeous creme scarf for my sweet customer and dear friend, Bekah. It is made of the softest textured yarn, Yarn Bee's Cameo Bulky in Cameo Cream. I loved every minute crocheting this because it was so soft and fluffy to work with. She wanted a touch of pink, black, and grey mixed in to match her coat so I added an elegant flower design to the ends.

I crocheted pink roses with grey leaves and white flowers with silver centers. I added a whimsical black stem design to tie it all together. To finish it off, I put a bit of fluffy fringe onto the scarf ends.

I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. I know Bekah will love it too.

Summer Days

We have been having fun enjoying our summer. I hope you all are too! ;)

A Sweet Sneak Peak

This coming Saturday is my cousin's baby shower. The following Sunday I am hosting my best friend's baby shower. Both are expecting baby girls. My aunt told me that my cousin was wanting to do the baby's nursery in butterflies, so I got an idea and worked with it. Her set is all finished but I unfortunately cannot share it quite yet because I don't want to spoil the surprise. I do have friends and family that visit my blog, so I will instead share a tiny sneak peak. :)
Now I am working on my friend's baby shower gift. Her baby's nursery is going to be done in pink with brown teddy bears which is also the theme for her baby shower I am throwing for her. :) Summer officially starts in one week from today, but it already feels like summer here. The girls are out of school for their summer vacation and the weather is starting to heat up. The sweet smelling summer flowers are blooming and are beautiful.
