Custom Order!

I failed at blogging on Friday. I know, two Fridays in a row. Should I take that as a cue to just not blog on Fridays at all? It seems like the perfect day for a "day off" don'tcha think?

I recently had a customer request an infinity scarf. I have had one in the works that I am sending to Liz Ann Marcus tomorrow to be photographed professionally, but the one requested was much skinnier than the one I already had made up.

Super cute, right?!

 

I love the dark gray (technically called charcoal) color, with the specks of lighter color in it. It is incredibly gorgeous in person. Buy one to see for yourself!

Happy Monday!

Custom Order!

As I mentioned in yesterday's blog post, I also have a Minnie skirt completed! This custom order was incredibly fun, as it started out on my Facebook page. I posted a picture and wrote that the first person to guess my children's Halloween costumes would get 25% off of their next order.

 

Because she was the first one to guess correctly, she claimed the coupon! She decided to order a Minnie Mouse hat, skirt and shoes for her daughter's first birthday in February! (Fun fact: My daughter, A, was also born in February 2012! Just 14 minutes shy of being a leap baby.)

 

The awesome thing about the skirt is that those two buttons right next to the flap are working buttons, and when you open them up the skirt flaps up on one side to reveal another button for the diaper cover. It's just my way of making sure that you can adjust the size of the skirt to fit your baby!

 



 

I love how they turned out, and I hope that the customer does too! If you love them as much as I do, then feel free to check out my Etsy listing here. Looking for just the Minnie Mouse hat? Check that out here.

 

Happy Thursday!

 



Custom Order!

I fail as a blogger.

 

It's true, I know, don't try to make me feel better. I have had quite a few custom orders lately though, so I just need to get some posts going (Maybe I'll write them now and post one each day? Oh, who am I kidding, I'm lucky to post once a month!) Do any of you follow blogs? I LOVE blog following, so it's pretty sad that I can't manage to get more posts out. I have thought about adding more "juice" to this blog; home decor, crochet tips/patterns, fitness, personal. Thoughts? Anyways, on to the subject of the day: custom order. Was that a good transition? No? I'll work on that.

 

 

I recently had a custom order for a couple of adult size hats; a minion and a giraffe. I completely forgot to photograph the giraffe hat before I mailed it (fail again!) so I'll just refresh your memory with this picture of my sweet babe taken when she was 4 days old by Geno Photography.

 

 

 

My customer ordered the exact same style, color, everything (except size of course). It looked just as cute in an adult size too! The other hat she ordered I was SO excited about. I love when someone contacts me with an idea that I have not done before. I get the chance to open up my creativity a bit and expand my work. (hint, hint: bring me new ideas!)

 

 

How incredibly adorable is this?! My favorite part? The button eyes. Awesome.

 

Now I am off to go prep some future posts, any guesses on when they will go live? January? Yea, probably.

 

Happy Monday!



Custom Order!

Hot pink & zebra print are such a cute combination! The momma who custom ordered this from me for her unborn loves hot pink & zebra and wanted to know if there was any way that I could incorporate those into a hat for her baby!

So adorable! I hope her baby (who is due in April) loves the hat as much as her momma and I do!

(Remember all hats are custom made for you/your child unless noted that it is in stock. You can get a replica of this hat for $20 which includes shipping to 48 US states.)

Custom Order!

Here is another custom order that I made last week (I couldn't post it b.c my turd broke my camera) and it was so quick to whip up! It was a newborn hat on a preemie, so the hat was a little big on him.

Such a cute hat! (And baby of course)

Custom Order!

And here ends my last custom order of the week.. sad! What's amusing about this hat is that the family doesn't necessarily like the Dallas Cowboys (read: hates them) but they wanted his hat to match his coat.

And doesn't he just look absolutely adorable in it! He pulls off the braids a lot better than my little man does! (BTW: This is a size 18-24 months)

Keep checking in! Soon I will be having my first inventory post, where I post everything that I currently have in stock, ready to ship and your order will be sent out that day! (Or the next day depending on what time of day you order)

And the journey begins..

Crocheting is such a fun hobby, that I'd love for others to enjoy my projects also! I love to do custom orders and can make hats and headbands from size Newborn through Adult. If you have an idea that you haven't seen on my blog please leave me a comment with your e-mail and we can discuss what it is you're looking for! (:

Check out the hat and matching gloves that I made for my 10 month old! They keep him so warm in the cold Iowa winter!

Keep checking the blog for new projects and comment me with your e-mail to discuss prices! (:
