NEW Stuff!!

Hello? Hello? Are you there??

It's been so long since I have talked to you!!

 

 

I have been SUPER busy getting all your Christmas orders done..

I am getting caught up, slowly but surely!

 

I have found a small amount of time to hunt down new patterns though!!

Here are a few of what I have stashed!

 

 

This is called The Bea Tutu. The pattern can be found on Ravelry. I think this is ADORABLE- and it would be super cute with these:

 

 

The Bea Legwarmers!! They are also on Ravelry.

 

Both of those patterns are by Natural Nora Crochet. How CUTE!!

 

 

I think I will be making myself a Fiona Button Scarf, if I ever find time.

Jennifer Dickerson hit this one out of the park, if you ask me!

 

 

 

Get ready to *gasp*! There are some of the cutest amis coming up I have seen in a long time!!

 

 

 

 

 

I know a couple of those are "halloween-ish" but they are still CUTE!

They have all been created by Little Muggles; I found them on Ravelry.

 

Baby Boots anyone??

 

 

Awesome pattern by Rebecca PatternMa on Ravelry!

 

One more--

 

I think I am in LOVE with this new doll!!

 

 

The Daphne Doll can also be found on Ravelry, thanks to Becca Homick!

 

 

Well folks, I have to get back to work. Let's not wait so long to talk again... okay?

A Cute Little Sweater (and a scarf)

How stinkin' cute is this??

 

The pattern is here, and the story behind it is here.

I always think it's nice to read the story behind the inspiration.

 

 

 

And what about this??!?

 

Can you picture this scarf in one of Red Heart's Team Spirit yarns?

I have some Black and Gold here- I think I may make one this afternoon!

 

(Patterns are both found at www.ravelry.com)

 

 

Clothes

Who doesn't love a cozy crocheted sweater?

Or a cute little sundress??

Here are some of my favorite clothing patterns from my Ravelry files....

The first three are from Amanda Tipton- her Ravelry page is HERE. She has other cute patterns too!

This one is the Striped TShirt Dress and comes in 2T/3T.

This one is the Barefoot Sundress- available Newborn-6x!

 And here is the Granny Square to Wear- customizable to any size! I made one of these for a friend back home and her daughter looked great in it! It's cute and comfy.

 This one is called the Crochet Fairy Shell Dress/Top and was written by Dewdrop Designs

This is another super cute one for summer- or fall, with a little shirt underneath.

 Here is the Girls Dress/Tiered Sundress pattern, written by Sara Lora. She has the pattern written for sizes newborn-girls size 8/10, so you can get one for all the girls in your family!

And now for Momma!! I love how comfy this Granny Shrug looks! By the way, the term "granny" is from the stitch pattern, not because it's for Granny! :)

This is also customizable and can be made any size newborn to adult!

 The Spring & Summer Dolman looks like it would be great anywhere- at home, out with friends or even to work on casual Friday! It can be made most any size.

One more from Amanda Tipton- the Sporty Poncho is another one that looks pretty cozy to me! She has the pattern written for adult small/medium- but I think I would be able to change it to fit YOU!

Last, but not least- here are a couple skirts I like!

Everlaughter has the Oh So Sweet Skirt pattern written for Baby (3-18mos) and Child (2-6yrs). LOVE it!

The Ruffle Skirt by Alexis Weber is also pretty stinkin' cute- you can get this one in an size 0-3mos through kids 7/8! Awesome!

Great job on the patterns, ladies!!

If YOU are interested in any of these items, let me know by commenting here, or emailing me at the email listed on the blog! Look forward to hearing from you!

Remember- August 2012 only 15% off your order!

Blankets

After that post yesterday I got excited about blankets again! I have about 4 of them on the order list right now, but I'm always looking for new ones- so here are a few of my new favorites.

This one is called the Classic Baby Blanket by Rayn Blair. I think it is PERFECT for any little boy or girl, and also would be a great piece to be passed down from generation to generation.

A friend sent me a link to a blanket similar to this one and I knew I had to find a pattern for it. Can't you just see your babe sitting on here poking at all those little dots sticking out??! So cute! Also, another blanket for boys or girls- just take the ruffle edge off and add a simple border and you are all set! This pattern comes from Lauren Brown and is called Polka Dots & Frills Baby Blanket

Lion Brand has some awesome free patterns, like this one called Delicious Colors. Pick colors to match your decor and you have a great blankie to snuggle up with! This one measures about 30"x35" when finished.

Awww, I really like these little loveys! This little grey bear was found on Etsy in the missybdesigns shop. It is absolutely adorable and would be a best friend for any little person! Love it! I would guess it's about 17" square when it's done- that's the typical size for these. I also have some patterns saved for owl and doll loveys.

Now on to the big boys! This is a very simple pattern for a Chunky Afghan Sofa Throw. I can just see this on my couch, your couch, my mom's couch... everyone should have a chunky throw, don't you think??! I found this pattern on Etsy also- in the MouseAndThimble shop. They have lots of cute stuff!

This is another chunky throw from Lion Brand. It says it's a 5 1/2 hour throw- but it takes a little longer than that- not much though! I have made a few of these and everyone that has them LOVES them- they are great for snuggling up with a good book. I have this pattern bookmarked on Ravelry and it can be found here.

This blanket is one that I actually made and sold to a girl I graduated with who now lives in California. I am excited for her to get it- I know her little girl will love it. It's just the perfect size for kids. Or grown up laps, too! I have made a few of these and haven't had a complaint yet! The pattern was a mix of Mamachee's chevron throw and this throw by Judy Hice for Coats & Clark. The stitch pattern was taken from Mamachee and the color from Judy Hice, obviously. :)

These are just a few of my favorite blankets, I have SEVERAL more bookmarked on Ravelry, Etsy and on my Crochet board on Pinterest. You can find me on any of those sites!

As always, I am willing to make any of these blankets for you - just let me know which one you are interested in and I'll be happy to send you pricing info!

Heads Up!!

I have been busy working on a few very detailed sets of toys for someone and decided to take a short break so I could get a HAT post published! I dug through my archived favorites on Ravelry and Etsy to find some new hats that I am sure you will all LOVE as much as I do!

This Shell Stitch Flapper Hat designed by Erin Hansen is simply beautiful! I love it!
Her pattern can be found here and is available in the following sizes:

0-6m, 6-12m, 1-3yr, and 3-10yrs.
I have also tagged an adult hat similar to this- if you are interested let me know!

This one is PERFECT for a first photo shoot! Love the little puff balls on it!

It was designed by Bella-Rae Crochet and is available in the following sizes:

0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m and Toddler

(photo was taken by Elizabeth Fulton, check out her Facebook Page.

 Next is the Aubrin by Chanelle Jones at Hover Creations. This hat is made with bulky yarn so it can be made super fast and is super soft! I love how the huge ruffle on the side adds just enough pizzaz!

Available in sizes: Toddler to Adult

 This is something similar to the first hat on this post, but also a little different. This pattern was written by Lisa Dean at Loops of Love. She has the pattern written for the following sizes:

0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m, toddler, child/small adult, and adult.

Who doesn't love a cupcake??

Angels Chest Boutique has created this cute little hat just for you little cupcake!

Her hat is available in sizes newborn to adult.

This one will be perfect for a chilly winter day! It even has the perfect name, Snow Day!
Marken of the Hat & I wrote this pattern. It is available in the following sizes:

0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m, 1-3y, 3-10y, 10y+, and adult M, and adult L

Think of all the colors you could combine- match to a coat, school colors, or even rainbow!

I love this old-school lookin' earflap hat by Melanie Padron from 3 Boys & A Ball of Yarn.

She has the pattern written for everyone, newborn - adult.

Get one for this winter!

Guess who wrote this one!! Of course I couldn't have a post without a couple hats from the one and only Tara Murray! She runs the Mamachee shop on Ravelry and also has a shop on Etsy.

She calls this hat the Hansel and Gretel hat. I LOVE the detail on the girly version below!

Sizes available are newborn to adult for both styles.

I think this is one of my all time favorite hats, the Backtrack Beanie from Busy Mom Designs.

It is perfect for boys and girls and is also reversible so you can change it up every day if you want to!

It looks great with the little flower attached, or "inside-out" with no flower. I love everything about this hat and have lost count of how many I have made. Love. Love. Love it!

Available in the following sizes: premie to adult large

 Here is the cowboy hat I mentioned the other day in the baby shoe post. This looks great with the little cowboy boots! Elizabeth Alan from The Lovely Crow wrote this pattern for this cute hat.
Sizes available are newborn - 4T.

I just found this hat today and fell.in.love!! I think the cables on the side and the little fold on the side are so neat! There are sure some creative people out there!!

This one is called Boutique Ribbed Cable Cloche and was written by Guinever Parisi.

The pattern says "one size" so I take that to mean older child-adult sizes.

There are a bunch of other hats that I love out there so keep checking back for more. I will try to get a post done with more "boy" hats, too.

As always, if there is something you are looking for and don't see let me know and I'll do what I can to help!

I will make any of these hats pictured and most can be made in any color!

Shoes and Slippers for Momma and Child

Hi everyone!

I'm here again with another post about your feet- this time for Kids and Mom (and Dad!). I have made a list of a few of my favorites from Ravelry, I have some saved in my Etsy favs too- but there are quite a few so I think I'll save them for another post! The more the merrier, right??!

Here goes!

Up first is the Jess Flat from Mamachee. This pattern is written for women's sizes 3-12. I think the smallest size comes out to about a size 2 in kids, so this would work for your older kiddos as well!

Next is the Mary Jane Skimmers from Hook Candy.

They have a pattern for everyone, newborn-adult!

Imagine all the color possibilities!

Ooooo, I have been eyeballing these boots for a loooooong time and the pattern was finally in stock so I swiped it up as fast as I could! I got the adult pattern and the child/toddler pattern. Check out the boy version with the dino spikes up the back! So cute!!
The pattern designer is hollydoll.

These are quickly becoming one of my favorite boots!

Here is a girly version....

And how about these little boots for the coolest little dude in your house! Awesome!

These were sent to me as a request from my friend Missy, she got these in tan and cream and LOVES them, she says they are her favorite- but she says that about everything I make!
These Adult Button Loafers were designed by Genevive Hunter and come in women's sizes 3-11.
Once again, the size 3 is close to a size 2 in kids shoes.

Another pair I love, and have made in LOTS of different colors!

This pattern is from Two Girls Patterns and comes in women's sizes 5-10. I also have the toddler pattern that is written for sizes 4-10. They are absolutely adorable!!

Mamachee is up again, with her Little Oma Slippers! These are so cute and work up really fast, so they are perfect for last minute gifts! Mamachee never disappoints!

 This is a new pattern that was just added to the Ravelry database recently. They are called Tiny Dancers, and are from Briana Olsen at Bowtykes. I think they are super cute and would even look great with a ribbon in place of the bow on the picture shown here.

And we sure can't forget about Dad! Kevin has these slippers and will.not.take.them.off! He even asked for a second pair. Can you guess who wrote this pattern?? Yep, Mamachee! These can be made into boots that are similar to the hollydoll boots above, but the turned out great as man shoes!

Check back soon for posts on hats, winter wear (scarf, cowl, mittens, etc...), blankets, toys and all kids of other good stuff!!

Thanks for looking and remember, I would love to make you a pair of your favorite slippers! Shoot me an email and we can work out the details!
