Patterns for Sale!

I have been asked for my patterns for a few years, well now I have finally typed a few of them up and they are for sale on Etsy and Ravelry.

I will be making more of my patterns available as I can.

Sweet Treats

Two new designs, just in time for the season...
I bought the cutest little crocheted hearts on Etsy (since I can't crochet, what DO you do with just one needle/hook anyway) but I am so grateful that there are sellers who do crochet and sell their appliques.

ruffle brim beanie with knit flower and valentine heart center

Both hats are available in size SMALL (3-6 mo) and for immediate shipping.  I can make more when I order more hearts.

May Madness Treasuries

I was featured in a few treasuries this month, and I love Etsy's new Treasury East, where anyone at anytime can make one. Don't get me wrong, I still pounce on the old treasury at magic number 333, as I write this I have 20 minutes before a new one opens up. But it is good practice to check out other Etsians, look at color, texture, photos, and that first picture really does matter. Here are two of the treasuries I was in this month:

This one just looks plain yummy:

Cute babies make for excellent treasuries!

Ruffles, Ruffles, Everywhere!

Ruffles are everywhere! Dresses, shirts, bags, and my hats. I have received more and more requests to make a hat, but can I add a ruffle to the brim instead of the roll brim? And my answer is always "of course!" I can pretty much customize any hat, including color, flowers, antenna, and brims.

Ruffles can really change the line of a hat, they make a hat more girly, they frame a baby's face and provide a bit of shade.

So go whimisical, try a ruffle!
