Cupcakes!

I'm consumed by cupcakes lately. Not the edible kind - although I'd like to think these look almost edible. I haven't decided yet if promising an all crochet version of the cupcake hat was genius or a really bad idea. The way I design, I sit my behind down in the recliner and work up each size. And because I have a crochet/knit version and an all crochet version, that means I have to make alot of these. Technically, I don't have to make them all - my testers will be a great help in this area, but my own stubbornness requires that I make them all and try to step outside of myself and read my own pattern to work them up. So, I am the slowest pattern writer of all time - I think. I know some of you are waiting, either patiently or impatiently (ahem, I don't blame you - after all, I am a slowpoke). I promise you it is coming. I have many designs in my head that I sometimes find difficult to decipher for others to read. It's a process. Meet the all crochet version <3

I quite like it.

A Craft Fair to Remember

Yesterday's craft fair was so fun! Hissyfits Resale usually has a Hullabaloo Event in November, and I've been lucky enough to be a part of it in the past. Imagine my excitement when I heard they decided to do a spring event this year! Sign me up already, seriously! We had a wonderful day, I got to meet some fantastic new customers and sweet vendors too. Had a great time and the weather was perfect - I did get a wee little sunburn, but it was still a gorgeous day, and my fault for not bringing the sunblock, right? Thank you Hissyfits for a great event and I hope to be back in November!

Now, I want to share where I got some cool stuff that I think really helped my setup.  I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephanie at Two Kazoos, who created this lovely felt banner for me to display at my craft shows. Isn't it great?! Her stitching is so perfect, and she was so helpful in trying to get it just right. Check out her Two Kazoos facebook page as well - she does alot of custom work, including magnets, banners, and personalized pillows!

The vinyl banner on the front of my booth was designed by the lovely Amanda at Pure Pixels, also wonderful to work with - she designed my new fab logo and several items with my logo, including this banner and new business cards. Shout out to the one with the mad skills! The banner was printed by the wonderful Paul Wilson of Wilson Graphics, who's speedy printing job and willingness to be super helpful made my day.

Let's not forget the wonderful wood blocks spelling out 'Baby Hats' that were made by Ali at Personalized Blocks - you must check out her work - such cute stuff!  I think these really help display my hats nicely :)

Many thanks to friends and family as well as wonderful new and repeat customers for making this event my best yet!  I couldn't do it without you!

Where I've Been

I'm pretty sure I'm a bad blogger. Yep, it's true. I have been busy though that is not a good excuse for not sharing more. I share every day on my Facebook page, and I was thinking, why am I not sharing here??!!

So, here are a few photos of some of my recent projects. Some of them will have patterns written up eventually, some of them were just made for fun. Well, everything was made for fun, but you get what I mean, right?
