Custom Order!

Yesterday I got a custom order for a giraffe hat for an unborn baby boy named Jaxon! She was looking for a deep yellow for the main part, with brown for the accents. I ended up having the perfect yellow on hand, and I was able to get it crocheted up yesterday and shipped out today! My official turn-around time is 3-5 business days, but now that I have a postal scale and all shipping supplies at home, I am able to ship directly from my mailbox so much quicker!

I think this little guy just turned out absolutely adorable! I may even like him better than the girly one I made for my daughter's newborn photos!

If you are interested in a giraffe hat of your own, you can check out my Etsy listing here, and leave me the details in the "message to seller" portion! If you don't have an Etsy account, you can send me an e-mail at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com to get your order set up!

Happy Tuesday!

Custom Order!

I recently had a custom order request for a Winnie the Pooh hat and cocoon. I absolutely loved the idea of it, and couldn't wait to get started! 

It was my first time working up a cocoon, so it took me several tries days to get it right, but based on the dimensions of it, it should fit a newborn perfectly! Oh, and for anyone wondering- yes. Making newborn baby hats, cocoons, etc. makes me have baby fever. The items are just so tiny!

I love how it turned out, and I hope my customer does too! Her baby is due in the next couple of months, so hopefully after baby boy is born we will see photos of him in the hat and cocoon gracing my Facebook page!

If you are interested in purchasing your own Winnie the Pooh set, see my Etsy listing here.

Happy Tuesday!

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!

 



Halloween 2012: Mickey & Minnie Mouse!

In previous years for Halloween I purchased pre-made costumes at the store-

A monkey in 2010...

 

 

Spongebob in 2011...

 

(Yup, that costume was made for a 6 year old, but the boy wanted to be Spongebob, so I made him Spongebob gosh darnet!)

 

This year, however, I really wanted to focus their costumes around something that I could crochet. I asked C what he wanted to be for Halloween, and his response was perfect- Mickey Mouse! How cute of an idea, they could be Mickey and Minnie!

 

They weren't much in a picture taking mood, which was a sad moment for me because I never did get one good one of them together. My OCD is still bothered by that.

 

 

Yup, that is my iPhone in his hand. Anything for a good picture, right mom-tographers?

 

I crocheted both of their hats and shoes, as well as the Mickey head on C's trick-or-treat bag in the first picture. I just purchased a $1 red tote from the craft section at Wal-Mart and hot glued the Mickey head on there (after crocheting it obviously).

You can purchase the Mickey hat in my store here (I can make the bottom red and add white buttons for his pants for those that like the hat, but don't plan to use it as a costume.), the Minnie hat here, and the entire Minnie set here. (More info on that Minnie skirt in tomorrow's post!) And don't forget, if you buy the set of Mickey and Minnie hats you get a 10% discount, just message me to set up a custom listing for you!

 

I'll leave you with this cutie.

 

 

Happy Wednesday!
