Etsy: Minion Hat Pattern

Since the Minion hat proved to be such a good seller, I wrote up the pattern to offer for sale as well. It includes sizes 0-3 month, 3-6 month, 6-12 month, 1-3 year, 3-6 year, and 6-12 year. I will be adding adult sizes soon as well. It also includes instructions for how to make it with one eye, as well as with two, and instructions for doing both hairstyles.

Etsy: Minion Hat

My husband has proven to be a great creative partner in my crocheting ventures. He helps me when I have trouble figuring out proportions or placement, and he gives me great suggestions. When I was trying to decide on a new hat to work up, he told me I should make a Minion hat (from Despicable Me). This ended up being one of my biggest Halloween sellers! I let customers choose if they want one eye or two, and if they want the hair all piled together in the middle, or spread out in short spikes. I offer them in child sizes and in adult sizes.

Etsy: Mickey and Minnie Pattern

It's no surprise that hat orders start slowing down as the weather warms up, so I didn't bring any yarn with me this summer. But I was pleasantly surprised to get several orders for Mickey Mouse hats, despite the warm weather. I guess they're just that cute! Well, hubby had a brilliant idea that I should write up more of my original patterns and offer them on Etsy as well. So I decided to start with the Mickey and Minnie hat patterns, since they are popular all year around. I offer them for $5 each, or $7 total if you buy both together.

Back to Business

It has been so long since I last posted! We spent the summer in California for an internship, and didn't have internet at the house we were renting, so I never got around to updating anything. We've been back for about a month and it has been one hectic week after another. My Halloween hat orders are finally slowing down, so I figured it would be a good time to get back on here and update things. In addition to some new items (which I will blog about after this) I got my first order to Japan! I'm pretty stoked to be able to call myself an international and overseas seller. My little business has really been doing well. And since all my earnings go into my work/hobby fund, I was even able to buy a new chromebook this month! (My laptop got stolen last Christmas, and I have been stuck using a really clunky old one until now.)

Summer Sunhat

The newest item in my Etsy shop, this soft cotton hat creates cooling shade for your little one. And of course, nothing would be complete without a flower or a bow. In this case, the hat comes with one of each, and they attach with a snap! So whatever mood your little darling is in, you'll have the perfect sunhat for her. You can choose the colors you want too!

United Hearts Necklace Pendant

I decided to try my hand at jewelry making and came up with this heart pendant. It's dainty and feminine, and totally my style! The birthstones are customizable to represent the birthstones of a couple, and birthstones for children can be added upon request. I used silver wire and Swarovski crystals.
