Minnie Mouse Hat

I have decided that I hate black yarn!!!!! It is so hard to see the stitches unless you have a bright light shinning on the piece that you are working on. It has taken me two days to finish the little hat and I don't really like how I sewed the ears on. So I have tried to take them off which hasn't worked. I think I will just leave it for awhile and go back to it maybe I just need to take a break from the black yarn. So I have taken the break from the black yarn thing and made a little newborn cream color beanie. The yarn that I have made it out of is from Hobby Lobby and it is cotton. I'm thinking that I will either put a pink ribbon or flower on the hat. Maybe I should just start making spring hats I know its is only December and we have four or five months yet before it will be nice out but need something to left my spirits right now. I think I will make some Christmas cookies I know that will help. Have to make some for gifts at work anyways. So guess I better get started. Now I need to go to the store! NO SUGAR!!!! Maybe I better take inventory of what all I'm going to need to start baking. Think my husband will put up our Christmas Tree? He might do that but I would hate to see how it was decorated.

The little cream colored beanie hat is finished just need to add a bow or flower to the hat.

HATS FOR SALE!!!!

Ok. I have some hats and booties for sale on Etsy. Have just sold one the Owl Hat. So I have decided to take some of my other hats to a upscale resale shop for women and children that is here locally and see if they can sell some of the hats. I called her first to make sure that she was interested and of course she said that it just depended on what the hats were and if they were something different than what she already had. HMMMM I thought I bet my little Owl Hat, Sock Monkey Hat, and little Munchkin Hat are differnent. So I took the hats over to her, she loved them and wanted to put all three out on her floor. If these sell there I will take more over. I thought I would play it safe and just start with three. Wish me luck I hope I can start selling them there at Chic Boutique and on Etsy.

Couple New Hats

Have made a couple new hats.. The pink Owl hat I made for someone that my daughter works with. The other two I think I will put on Etsy to sell. The red and gray would be good for someone that is a OSU fan, that would like to dress their little one up for the OSU games. The Sock Monkey Hat has a diaper cover pattern also have been thinking about making the diaper cover to match. Have sold one of the Owl Hats this week on Etsy. Wish all the other ones would sell also. Maybe they will guess everything just takes time. Sometimes I get to antsy with this stuff.

Owl Hat

These hats are so adorable and really easy to make. Didn't take very long at all to make the two hats. I had some extra Lion Brand yarn left over from one other project that I hace been working on so I thought maybe I should try to use some of that yarn up . Wasn't really sure how it would turn out. But I must say they look pretty good ! I did make two newborn hats and I think that I will make a couple hats that are bigger. I got the pattern from daisycottagedesigns.blogspot. It was a free pattern. Thinking about adding them to my etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/VickisCrochetShop. May wait till I have a few more hats before I add them.
