My Hats Are In A BOOK!!

The other day we were at Hastings browsing around at books and movies and I made an AMAZING discovery (to me anyways).  We were just about to leave when a cute baby in a cute hat caught my eye.  I recognized the photo on the cover because I had seen it before on the web.

  I got looking at the book a little closer and realize the book had tons of pictures form Tracy Raver... a very talented baby photographer.  I remembered she had purchased a few of my hats a while back so I started flipping threw the pages and I found TWO of my little hats pictured on the cutest little babies!  I was ecstatic of course and purchased the book.  Take a look..............
So so SO cool I think :)

Oh and in other news my shop was featured HERE  for Market Place Monday.
If you have a little shop you should definitely link up on Mondays.
What a great week so far.  Hope your week is going just as well.

Totally Worth Checking Out!

I scored a few FREE Florabella templates for photos yesterday on Facebook.  All you have to do is "like" them and you can download the Merry and Bright Holiday Card Collection.  I LOVE them!
I have been playing around with them......

Westy's tiny baby toes.
Sigh. Oh how I miss them so bitty.

Me and the hubs looking so fresh and young ha!

My little niece Emma for a couple years ago... awe.

Also stop by later I am going to post a tutorial for this fabulous rose :)

Frame Face-Lift Make n Take

My darling niece recently celebrated her 5th birthday.  I didn't take a ton of photos for this tutorial but I hope you get the idea.  It's all pretty simple :)
Gather your supplies.
• An old frame ($1 or less at the thrift store)
• Spray paint or Acrylic paint works too I discovered
• Bead necklace or I used a Christmas tree decorating pearl stand
• Scrapbook Paper
• Scrapbook Letter Stickers
• Rulers
• Glue

1. Cut your paper to fit your in your frame.
2. To line my words up I used rulers. This is a fantastic technique to use so you can make sure everything is straight and how you want before you stick them down. When you figure out where you want the words press the tops of the letters that aren’t on the ruler to the paper and carefully remove the ruler.
3. For my frame I used this tutorial. I didn’t have any spray paint colors that went with my letters so I actually used acrylic paint and then sealed it with clear spray paint. I didn’t paint my beads either. I left them the pretty pearly color they came in since I thought that was perfectly girly.
It’s simple – paint, glue, done.

The final product!

And this is sweet little Taylee at 2 years old. Happy Birthday “Tail” XO!

Strawberry Shortcake

Definitely drool worthy… this cutie pie is the newest hat to the shop. Didn’t Melissa do a beautiful job with the photos??!! So pretty!
This hat has a different look too it… it is more intricate than the bow hats. I love the new texture and a cute scalloped edge. It is good to spice things up!
Also I wanted to let you know that every Sunday I am going to have a different item on sale for the week. This week it was “Peachy Keen Daydream”.  Tomorrow I will have something new at a discounted price. 

I am aiming to do at least one "Make N Take" a week so this is coming up in a bit…
Stay tuned :)

Peachy Keen Daydream

That name seriously took me all freakin morning to come up with.  Nothing I was thinking of was clicking with the hat.   I like it now, it rhymes :)  I did think of a bunch of cute name that didn't fit with the hat so now I am persuading myself into making new hats just to pair with them... "Snicker Doodle", "Freckled something or other", "Tweedledee &Tweeledum" (perfect for twin hats)!  The wheels are turning now :) Melissa DeGroot sent some picture to me for the shop... so cute!! I am loving the vintage look of this one right now. 
March giveaway will be in a couple days... any ideas for what should be offered up?  I have no clue... something old, something new something borrowed, something blue??? Ha, just kidding.  If you have a preference, speak up now :) 
Sanity time Nap time is almost over.  I must be going!

OH BOY!

Hooray for boys!  Like I said before, it is so hard for me to come up with little boy hats (even with two boys of my own!)  I came up with these hats mainly because I am trying to use up some yarn in my stash that I have been hoarding for a while.  So, these will only be in the shop until I run out of supplies to make them with.  I am in love.  I just got these photos sent to me from the talented Jennifer Bahn. I am so happy to introduce........

 "Twinkle Twinkle"
and
"Bugaboo"
Ahhh... I love sweet little baby eye candy! Who doesn't? 
I am still trying to make something cute for the older babies... these are kind of newborn-ish.  I just got some brown that was supposed to be used for my "Little Flyer" hat.  Unfortunately, it is the wrong shade (I am so mad I cannot find that yarn anywhere). I think I'll figure out something cute to make with it rather than ship it back.
Enjoy your day!! Stay tuned for my March giveaway :)

Teddy Bear Sweetness

I don't make a ton of these bear hats but when I got an order for one the other day I decided to make one for West too.  We had a little photo session yesterday and I am loving the results!  He was such a good model!  He makes the most serious faces though... just check out the blog header for example!! 
Awe... melts my heart!
I did get a smile....
 I also wanted to add a bow because in my opinion the hats just aren't complete without a bow or flower or button... something.  The bow is on a clip and can be taken off. 
Daddy will die if he sees these.  Am I horrible?? I hope not, I just needed an example with the bow.  I suppose I didn't have to throw on the necklace or flower background.  He looks mad so that is a good thing :)

That necklace is so dang cute right, I made it!  Checkout THIS amazing blog!! She has the BEST ideas and they are all so girly and perfect! I love it  I have never even made a necklace but she teaches it step by step! 
Back to work for me! Have a lovely day!
