Prepping for my shows - what does it look like?!?!

This is where I'm at with my show prepping:)

I have in my hands 12 sock monkeys. We'll have at least 14 for the first show I believe.
We have some great socks to that will eventually turned into adorable monkeys or other creations....
(I have no idea why spacing gives me an issue with some posts! Like this one!!)

I also have 54 new hats ready to go. And 1 more is almost done. I'd like to get at least another 10 done for the Saturday show.
Also in this shot you can kind of see one of the wicker heads I got. Not a great shot of it but they are adorable.

Just really busy~

I have not abandoned the blog! I'm just super busy preparing for my shows.

Although I did finally upload the picture of the little bear hat! So I'll leave you with that:)
I dont' have any listed and I don't have any instock - but if you'd like one just ask:) And I will be listing them at one point! I'm also hoping to have some instock for my upcoming shows!

Become a Facebook Fan!

I've set up a business page on Facebook under Loopy 4 Ewe . Become a fan! Post pictures of Loopy hats in action in the fan photo section too - it's one of my favorite things to see!

Eventually I'll be offering exclusive offers through the Facebook fan page. Maybe even some contests for a chance to win FREE Loopy wears. Sounds good? I just need to get past the craft show circuit season, build the fan base and then we'll get things in motion.

See you over there!

What's been happening in Loopy land? Lots!!!

I dropped off my order yesterday to 3 Little Monkey's on Bank St. yesterday! Some great hats from 0-3mths right up to 2-4T.





I've also been steadily working on custom orders like these ones!

I've been making double thick earflap hats for awhile now and have had every intention to get some made and put them up for sale in my shops but it just hasn't happened. So I was excited when someone asked me to make some for them.
I've also made this great charcoal hat with the black flower. I'm running low on charcoal and hoping my shipment arrives soon!
I also JUST finished this hat that's on it's way out the door as soon as I post this blog post. I love the bright colours of the flower.

New Colour Combo

I've been getting in some new colours for my stash lately. Love the colours! Here are 2 hats that I've recently done with the newer colour combos. I'll be (not so) patiently waiting for the mail to arrive within the next couple of weeks because I've ordered some brand new colours that I can't wait to see. I'll be using them for inventory for my upcoming shows.



With these new colours my stash is growing. I think it may be time to retire some colours from my collection as well. That will be hard!

I'm still having a hard time photographing purple!! Seriously.I have tried different lights and it's just not working. This is the closest picture I've had to the truest colour. But it's not event close!

Quick Turn Around TImes

I'm happy to report that even though I'm very busy making hats I still have a quick turn around time. Usually when a buyer puts in an order I can have the hats made and shipped withing 3-5 days. Sometimes even within a day. If you need it fast just let me know. I can usually accommodate.

Providing quality hats and great customer service are very important to me.

So even as we're approaching the busy season this will continue to be my goal!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me either through my iCraft shop or my Etsy shop.
