Royal Newborns

Today I have been working on a dozen newborn crowns. They are a custom order for a dear friend of mine. I purchased the pattern from krinercreations on Etsy. You can find the pattern HERE.

Caught in Action

Over Memorial weekend Xiera got a hold of my camera and decided to photograph me while I was crocheting.

I must have been either deep in thought in this next picture, or determined. I am not quite sure.

What was it that I was working on, you ask? My cousin had asked me to crochet a Pooh bear baby blanket for her friend who is expecting a baby boy. I finally have it all finished too.

I don't know if you can tell but I made Pooh bear smiling.

I think he looks very sweet when he smiles, don't you think?

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.

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.

Newborn Goodies

I have been working on a few crochet goodies to send to Brittany of Ella Rose Portrait Arts this weekend. I just finished this cute little newborn baby boy pants, newsie hat, with bow tie to match.

I added a few wooden buttons to the hat and one larger one to the pants. I can't wait to see it in action.
Another thing I have been working on is a fringe blanket newborn photo prop. So far I have 300 strands of yarn hooked around. I still have about 150-200 more strands to go.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse Fun

This is the week for Disney orders, particularly Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Yesterday I crocheted these adorable Minnie Mouse barefoot sandals for a dear customer. I really like how they turned out.

Today I made matching Mickey and Minnie Mouse newborn hats for twins. Aren't they the sweetest?

Gnomes and Pixies

I have been a very busy crocheting bee today making a handful of newborn/infant gnome and pixie hats to send to Brittney of Ella Rose Portrait Arts. I can't wait to see the little cutie pies that get to wear these while she works her camera magic!

Sweet Baby Boy

Earlier on this week I mailed a newborn stocking cap and sock monkey set to Brittney of Ella Rose Portrait Arts for a newborn shoot for a sweet baby boy. She sent me the pictures this evening and they are pure PERFECTION!


I am so in love with these photos. Everytime I look at them, they bring a smile to my face. I will be listing these in my store early next week so if you are interested, please keep checking back.

Sock Monkey Love

My friend Brittney of Ella Rose Portrait Arts is having a photo session this Friday with a newborn baby boy. He is going to model the stocking hat I shared with you all a few days ago and this adorable sock monkey hat and diaper cover set I finished yesterday morning. The tail can be either sewn on or made to be removable.

I am so excited and can't wait to see the pictures from the shoot! I know they are going to be fabulous.

What are Little Boys Made Of?

To answer the question above, I believe the modern answer is "Slugs and snails and puppy dog tails", but the traditional version is "Snips and snails and puppy dog tails." A snip is a Cumbrian dialect word for a small eel. Now that you have learned something new, we can move on.. :)
My daughter's teacher told me at her last teacher conference that she is a new grandma. I have to admit that I was a bit surprised because she doesn't look a day older than 35. She had told me that her husband had had children prior to when they were married and then I understood. Well all of the men in her family are fishermen so she was wondering if I could make her sweet grandson a fishy hat. On our drive down to Florida last week, I whipped up this cute little hat for her little fishergrandbaby.

I know she is going to love it!
I am now starting to work with an old friend/customer that I had collaborated with in the past. Brittney used to be the talent behind Abby's Tutu Factory and I used to make adorable leg and arm warmers and shrugs to match her beautiful tutu dresses and skirts. Well about two weeks ago Brittney got in contact with me to tell me that she no longer sells her gorgeous tutus but instead creates them to use as props in her new job; being a photographer. She is the artistic mastermind behind the camera for Ella Rose Portrait Arts. She had inquired if I would be interested in working with her. She was in need of some crochet goodies to have available for her newborn sessions. So to make a long story short, I am her on demand crochet designer for her newborn photo shoot needs. ;) I am thrilled to be working with her and cannot wait to see the pictures she does using my crochet props. If you get a chance, please visit her business facebook page, HERE. Be ready to be inspired because her work is truly amazing.
I also whipped up this adorable newborn stocking cap for Brittney on our LONG drive to Florida last week. I cannot wait to see it in action!
