Etsy: Braided Pigtail Hat

A great option for little babies and girls with short hair, this clever take on an earflap hat has braided pigtails instead of braids on the ends of the earflaps. All the colors are completely customizable and you can order short braids (like in the picture) or long braids.

Etsy: Dog Hat

This is a perfect hat for any dog lover and features long hound dog ears instead of earflaps. It's cute and whimsical without being overly cartoonish, which makes it more popular with teens and adults.

Etsy: Puppy Hat

I made this to match my daughter's favorite stuffed animal and just love how cute and playful it turned out. I can make it in any color combination.

Vintage Yarn for Sale

I have all this beautiful vintage yarn (mostly fingering weight mohair and alpaca yarns) sitting in bins in my shed because I just don't have the time to do anything with them. Since we're thinking of moving in the next six months, I figured I better start trying to find a new home for all of it. Send me an email if you would like to purchase any of this yarn (we can go through Etsy if you want to) or if you want to see more pictures of any of the yarn. There are special prices if you buy all the balls of a certain type of yarn. Otherwise, if you buy 1-10, they are $5 each; if you buy 11-20, they are $4.50 each; if you buy 21-30, they are $4 each; if you buy 31-50, they are $3.50 each; if you buy over 50, they are $3 each. If you are absolutely crazy about yarn (like I am) and are interested in buying everything, it would be $300 (that's about $1.50 each!). If you need me to ship it to you, the cost will be determined by how much you buy. (If you buy multiple lots of yarn and the per item cost is less than the total of the lot prices, I will give you the lower cost.)

*Prices are negotiable, this was just a starting point to give people an idea*

These are the categories: pure silk, pure wool, pure mohair, cashmere and lambswool, mohair blends, mohair and wool, wool blends, alpaca blends, cotton blends, synthetic yarns, and discount (these have no label and I am not sure what type of yarn they are, but both are still soft and unused).

Etsy: Angel Baby Necklace Pendant

As my friend is approaching her daughter's first angelversary, I wanted to make something special for her. I know everybody handles grief differently, but I wanted to offer a small, affordable way for other moms like me to carry the memory of their child close to their heart. I designed the pendant to be two tiny feet that look like wings, to represent the little angels. Each pendant is personalized with the baby's initials and a heart in the color of their birthstone.

Etsy: Fuzzy Panda Pattern

I finally got caught up with all my Halloween orders and had a chance to write up another pattern! This panda hat is one of my favorites, and I'm hoping other people are just as eager to make one!

Etsy: Flowered Scallop Hat

I absolutely love the way this little hat worked out! The scallop stitching gave it a very dainty, feminine look. The flowers and feathers are on a clip, so they can be removed and worn on the hair when it is too hot for a hat. These are absolutely perfect for newborn photo shoots!
