The Burgundy Order

After our show last week I came home to a custom order of 6 hats in burgundy and grey. Here's a picture of them which are now on their way to Texas. I love these colours together.

I've done a lot of other custom orders too, I just haven't had the time to photograph them before shipping them out which is usually my first priority to get them to the buyer as quickly as a can.

I've also received some really great new colours! A dark grape, abbey rose and I think my new favorite it Tannin. Which is almost like a brown with a hint of purple. Gorgeous!

I also just finished an awesome adult flapper beanie that I will try to get pictures of after this weekend to list. A black one with a red flower. Beautiful, very classic looking.

We're just in the process of last minute prep work for our show this weekend which is being held at the Glebe Community Centre. If you're in Ottawa be sure to come and check it out!

28 Hats Down, 54 To Go!

I finished the first 3rd of an order. Here's the first 26 hats I completed and shipped off to Denver. Woo Hoo. And his is what they look like:)

I also made these 2 lip balm cozies which I listed in my Etsy shop. I'm still donating 80% of all items with pink (and all lip balm cozies- pink or not) to Breast Cancer until July 15! Shop for a cause:) The lady bug one has already sold - Thanks for your support!

Plugging away at hats

I have an order of 84 hats to get working on. I'm trying to tie up loose ends and of course get orders that come in out as quickly as I can. May is an extremely busy month in this household so it's a bit of a challenge to get orders out in a timely manner. I usually like to ship within 1-2 days of the order. Lately it's been taking 4-5 days. Not terribly long considering all items are handmade by me, but longer then I like:)


Here are some hats I've recently completed. I few flappers in some colour combos I've done for a different style hat but not for flapper hats.







I'm donating this hat to my friend who is organizing a walk for JDRF. It will go on their raffle table.





And this hat is one that my husband has been telling me to make forever. And I've been wanting to make forever, I just haven't gotten there. But I had a request for one and I've done it. The hat is done, but I'm going to make a clip on flower to add to it. I'll take pictures of the 2 together when the flower is done. The bookends don't do this hat justice. It needs a cute kid in there!
