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 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.
I shipped off the final 20 hats of the 104 hat order I was working on last week. These last 20 hats had some great new colour combinations including one of my new favorite. Here's a picture of just a few of the hats that were included in this order.
I thought I'd be ready to work on orders for my upcoming shows but this is not the case. Approx 57 more hats to make and THEN I can start working on inventory for shows. Although I think I will have to start sneaking some inventory in between orders soon or I won't have anything for my tables!
Today I shipped off another 24 hats. And once again I did not have time to take a picture. 28 left to go and I can start working on inventory for my upcoming shows...well and orders I get between now and then!
This is a picture of the 15 hats I delivered last week to a shop in Kanata that carries just the smaller sizes. They made an appearance at the Baby Boom Show so who knows how many are left!
I had a customer ask me to make some sweet hats for two girls that are part of triplets and sent the two pink ones. The visor beanie is for their older sister.
I did take a picture on the camera I just uploaded of this hat that was purchased as part of a fundraiser for The Weekend To End Cancer. I had made another hat that was very close for her cousin that was a hot pink hat, a yellow centre and the flower petals were blue. The girls like to have the same, but different so switching up the flower colours is always a great option for situations like this.
I also received an email from a photographer in Hamilton who was in town and purchased one of my hats at a store in the Market. How great that she contacted me and was kind enough to share her pictures! This is one that she took. Thank you Traci from Creative Simplicity! Makes my heart melt:)
I was making some hats to drop off at the local store and made up this cute visor beanie in a misty grey and apple green. I love the colours together. This is one I'd like to make to get photos taking to add to my iCraft and Etsy shops. Maybe one day! lol
Here's the latest batch of hats I made to bring to the store. They sold out of the last batch I brought them within 3 weeks! It's been a busy summer.
I love how this wee hat turned out. All soft ecru with a pale sage green in the center. It's gorgeous and so classy.
And I finished this cute baby boy hat yesterday for another local photographer. Love the white with the robins egg blue! Can't wait to see the pictures :) 
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!
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. 
Last weekend I stopped in at one of the local shops that sells my hats. The message I got - bring in more hats! So I started making them on Monday with the hopes of having 10 completed that I could bring in today (Friday). I managed to get 12 finished and here are the 12 hats I'll be bringing in. I really love the Spring colours. Beautiful!
I finished up the wholesale order I've been working on. Twenty Five hats in a combination of flapper style and lacy beanies.
I made this gorgeous soft ecru visor beanie with the pale pink flower. One of my recent favs I think.
An adult flapper in sage green with a double layer brown flower. The sage is such a great colour.
And my very latest. A beanie for Breast Cancer Awareness which is for sale here in my Etsy shop. It sells for $32 and all the proceeds will be donated to the 60km Weekend To End Breast Cancer walk I'm participating in. I'm getting there. Just over $700 left to raise to meet my $2000 goal. If you'd like to make an online donation (Receipts automatically issued for donations over $10 to Canadians) you can visit my page here. Thanks!
And I recently sent off some Lip Balm Cozy Keychains that will become part of some Team TransCanada Goodie Bags which will sell on the TransCanada Etsy page for a steal! Watch for them. (Sorry the picture is sideways)
I dropped 16 hats off at one of the local stores, Tickled Pink, on Friday.
I have just put the finishing touches on these 3 hats and will be heading to the post office momentarily. I love the bright colours. The grape and apple green look amazing together.
I didn't have time to take a picture of these until now. My girl has been bugging me for handmade socks. I started making socks this past summer. For me. Just for me. No one else. Every time she saw me knitting socks she'd ask when she was getting a pair. In August while on vacation she came with me to a gorgeous yarn store. And there I had her pick out some sock yarn that I would make her a pair of socks with. I'm also suppose to make myself a pair of socks with the same yarn. 
Great. Not a problem...but it was 6ply yarn. And although the ladies at the store told me to just cast on xx (48 stitches maybe?) instead of the usual socks are way to new to me to be messing with a pattern like that. I finally found a pattern for kids socks using 6ply yarn at a local yarn store and made these socks in time for Christmas. They were a gift so I didn't check them before making the 2nd. Sure enough they were too small. So I had to cut the toe off, pick up the stitches and made them longer.
I have also just finished and shipped a custom order for the following flapper and brim beanie. I'm working on finishing up two more brim beanies that will be delivered tonight if all goes well.
I just finished up another special order. I'll be picking up a pair of the Best Mittens Ever from a friend to match this hat and ship them off to the buyer.
I had a special request to make a sage green visor beanie with a cream flower. I was torn as to what to make the center. At first I made a flower with navy, but wasn't too keen on it, so I opted for an antiqued pink. I think it complements it nicely.
