Ask and you shall receive! Some of the latest custom orders

I've done a multitude of custom orders lately both from the online sites and from the shows I've attended. The moral of this post -I don't have everything in my online shops that I make. So if you think I can make something - ask! I probably can. Different colour combos, add a flower, whatever! There's just no way I can make all the hats and have pictures taken of them to post. Not enough hours in the day. And lets face it, on the rare occasion I do allow myself to slack off and take a hat free day:) Not often, but it happens on occasion.

This one is so cute I had to post 1 pictures of it so you could get the full view. One of the new colours I've been working with (sold out - waiting for a new shipment!) is Abbey Rose with the Burnt Orange - beautiful!

And as you can see it's an earflap hat with a flower :)






I also get a lot of requests for single coloured visors. Not a problem. I love the black here with the black flower. I've done this with the flapper style too - charcoal with a charcoal flower. Nice and subtle.



And 2 or 3 toned flowers! Not a great shot but you get the idea. The hats here are celery and the centre of the flower is celery for each of them. One row of petals one colour and the outside another colour. Very cute!

And I just really liked these hats - all in soft ecru with the rose pink and celery flower. Don't you love my new wicker heads too! So much nicer then that styrofoam ball!

I'm attending one more show this Sunday. Details are in the previous post. Well actually there's one last show after that but it's at an office building. I'm still maintaining my quick turn around and hats are still being shipped out within 3-5 days!

Spring has sprung but it's still busy

I have no idea where my days are going. Well, not true. I have a lot on the go between Loopy stuff, volunteering, my kids, and training for the 60km Weekend To End Breast Cancer (even with a gimpy foot!)

I still need to take a picture of the completed ribbons of hope Afghan. But I did take a picture of some of the hats I dropped off today at a local store for a custom order. Two more hats I need to work on and finish this weekend. I've also had a cool request that I'm looking forward to trying out.

May is going to be insane too. I hope I can take the time to finish the 2nd sock sometime soon!

Fun Work in Progress of Flapper Hats and Lacy Beanies

I'm working on 25 hats to bring to 3 Little Monkeys on Bank Street in Ottawa. March break threw me behind schedule, but it's coming along nicely!

I thought it would be fun to show a work in progress. All of the hats are completed and ends darned in. I have 18 of the 25 flowers finished and as you can see I still need to darn in the ends and sew them on the hats.

This is a picture of the hats in their "size" pile. Important to keep track of which size flower needs to be made

And a picture of the hats with the flowers that are done so far. As you can see there are lots of ends to darn in.

There are some really cute hats and colour combos in this order!

Cute Little Flappers

Here's a picture of the latest wee hats I made and sent out.

They were a custom order for someone in Vancouver who had purchased one of my hats from a local store who had run out of the smaller sizes. Thanks so much for finding me! I love custom orders and sell my hats in my Etsy Store and my iCraft Store online.

I'm working on another order for 3 Little Monkeys which is a local store on Bank St. They've also run out of the smaller sizes. I'm excited to get this order completed and dropped off since there are some cute new hats that I'm creating! Of course pictures will follow:)

Spring Flowers

I recently completed a custom order for 50 flowers. She's going to make signature pins out of them!








I was also asked to make these two lip balm cozy key chains for tubes.

Flower Power

I just finished a bunch of hats & flowers for some custom orders. Here are pictures of the flowers and some of the hats. I had to get all the other hats in the post before I had a chance to take pictures of all of them. I am planning on taking a bunch of pictures this weekend though of some of the flapper/beanie hats I've made for 0-3mths, 18-24mths, 2-4yrs and 5-8yrs. Plus some adult hats that I'm just about finished.

For Dre

My latest creations

An adult (lrg size) skullcap made from a cotton/nylon blend.









A toddler purple beanie/flapper crocheted with a white flower & glass beads









Various flowers made from 100% cotton. that I think I'll likely sell as "supplies" They can easily be added to different things - like glued to flip flops to brighten them up a bit









I think this is my favorite hat right now. It's made from 100% cotton and perfect for the spring! And it's machine wash & dryable. It's sized for a 2-3yr old.

Meet Franny the Bath Mitt - hehe. Again made out of cotton.
















A lilac Adult flapper hat











And lastly another barrette I made:
