A Little of This, and a Little of That..

I have been a busy little bee, crocheting custom orders. Leg warmers seem to be very popular this time of year. I have made so many pairs. I recently made a pair of custom ballet leg warmers for a 4 year old ballerina. Her little legs have been so cold during her practices so her mommy ordered a sweet ruffle pair of leg warmers in black and pink.

I adore these, and decided to list them in my Etsy store. You can find them HERE.
Speaking of being a busy little bee, I crocheted a few adorable bumble bees, daisies, and ruffles for embellishments.

My dear customer and her little pageant star diva, needed these for her adorable little yellow bathing suit. :) I can't wait to see it all come together.

About a week ago my grandparents in law celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.

They are the parents of 2 daughters and 1 son, grandparents to 9 grandchildren, and great grandparents to 17 great-grandchildren. What a wonderful journey their life has been.

One of their cakes was an exact replica of their original wedding cake.

What a beautiful cake it was! Simple yet elegant. :)

Diamonds were the theme as it was of course their "Diamond" Anniversary.

Congrats Iris and Jim! May you both enjoy many more beautiful years together making memories!

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.

Happy New Year!!!!

Wishing everyone a very happy and wonderful New Year in 2011! God bless each and everyone.

Wordless Wednesday The Countless Ways to Play In The Snow!

No Naughty Girls Here

Santa's list must be different than mommy and daddy's list, because the girls woke up to stockings full of goodies and a Christmas tree full of presents underneath. Well I guess they can't be good ALL of the time, right?

One of the girls' favorite gifts were the Lalaloopsy twins. The girls just adore these dolls right now. Xiera wants to collect them all.

Another favorite that Santa brought was their very own look alike American Girl dolls.

Xiera calls her "Little Xiera" and does just about everything with her.

Zella likes to have tea time with hers and offers her occasional candy treats.

Merry Christmas from our happy home to yours! :)

A Crochet Treasury

I would like to thank Sue of The Handmade Emporium for including my rainbow leg warmers in her beautiful crochet treasury. I really adore the little mini crochet cupcakes and tote bag in this too. You can also visit the treasury HERE.

What a View

Yesterday I woke up to THIS!

It was the school's first snow day and the girls made the most of it! It was WAY too cold to enjoy it outside so we enjoyed it by admiring the view indoors.

While the girls were playing dolls, coloring, painting, playing with playdough, and hiding Phoebe the cat in the hamper, I was busy crocheting these.

I made the hair clips for my niece. I think they turned out so adorable.
I also finished this cute custom cat hat for a beloved customer of mine.

It was made to match their family cat. Her name is Katty, and she is a cutie.

Dear Santa,

Xiera wrote a list out for Santa this year and she went over it with him. The funny thing is that Santa turned it over and exclaimed, "And there is back?" Xiera then told him that she circled her favorites because she knows he isn't able to get everything she wants. :) It was so cute! Zella is pretty easy to please this year. "I just want Princess Jasmine."

We also were able to get our Christmas family portraits done this year and I couldn't be more pleased.

We went to Sears for pictures this year. As soon as we entered the studio Zella's eyes became fixed on a colorful little bear wearing a tutu and balerina slippers. She pleaded for that bear and we all knew ballerina bear was going to be apart of our memories forever.
We were able to get a few pictures taken without Miss Ballerina Bear but only a few.. :)

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.

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..
