New Baby Hat Patterns Coming Soon!

Kaylea Brooks bought a taupe flower hat from my shop for her brand new baby girl, Hannah. Kaylea owns White Willow Studio  White Willow Studio, which is a new photography business specializing in wedding and family. I sent Kaylea an extra pixie hat as a way to say "congratulations." Doesn't one-week old baby Hannah look so sweet in both hats!!

                           The pattern for these two hats is coming soon to my Etsy shop Prop Shop .

Crocheting pattern for thick and thin newborn pixie hat coming soon!

Boot Cuffs

This is a new pair of boot cuffs in charcoal gray. I really like the color and may have to knit myself a pair.

Shipping Day

Getting 7 packages out today feels good. Only 13 orders behind right now and knitting around the clock. Yikes!

Cupcakes Just Because

Just felt like baking. Even though I am 18 orders behind. That's the beauty of working from home. I can stop anytime and just bake cupcakes. Now I need to get back to knitting. It seems that boot cuffs are my big hot seller right now. Who knew!
Midas loves to help : )

Project #2 - Victorian Lace Bonnet

This is my first project using that gorgeous vintage lace I recently acquired. I really like the way it turned out. A combination of super soft thick and thin merino wool in powder pink, a yummy cream colored rose pin and long flowing tassels of two types of vintage lace in cream make this a nostalgic photo prop for baby girls. I have other projects planned for this lace, just you wait and see!

Size 0-6 months

$30 plus shipping. To purchase this bonnet, just leave a comment with your PayPal email address and I will send you an invoice. Since the rose pin and lace are OOAK, your hat may have a slightly different flower and lace but I promise you it will be just as beautiful as this one!  Or you can just go to my Etsy shop and purchase it here:   http://www.etsy.com/listing/87620365/victorian-lace-baby-bonnet-powder-pink

 

 

Bird Nest Pins

I've decided to start making bird nest pins and bird nest hair clips for my Etsy shop (Prop Shop).www.propshop.etsy.com   I think they are pretty cute and they are just $5 (plus $2 domestic shipping and $5 international shipping). Wouldn't they make the perfect stocking stuffer or "just because" gift? I plan to attach them to my springtime baby hat photo props.

                                                                What do you think?

If you want to order the nests directly from me, just send me your email address and I'll email you a PayPal invoice. Be sure to let me know if you want a pin or a hair clip.

Vintage Lace

Awwwwww,  I LOVE this bundle of vintage lace I found on Ebay. For just 20 bucks, I got four pounds of glorious, frilly, girly lace in shades of cream, ecru, white, and tan. I was super excited when I received this huge lot of lace!! When I found out the substitute mail carrier had delivered it to the wrong house, I was not happy. Thankfully, she was kind enough to return to the wrong house, get my package and deliver it to ME : )

My 15-year old daughter, Sarah and I went through the lace together. She kept telling me to just dump it out but I found it much more gratifying to pull out each piece of lace one at a time.
I ended up dumping it out later so I could take a photo.

I can't wait to show you my new Victorian bonnet line for the shop : )
