Orders and New Patterns

I’ve been a little occupied with some orders I have gotten. I really like doing orders and getting the business but… I get a little sad when I don’t have time to do the stuff I love to work on. Like my blanket or scarf. Again I am so thankful and happy to have these orders. I enjoy making the items for friends, family or new customers. There’s no stress involved, except maybe when the yarn store is out of the color I need or I have to start completely over on something because I made a mistake. Yeah those both happened with my current orders.

Want to see what I made? This stuff isn’t in the shop and some of the things I was making for the first time. New patterns are always fun and a nice change. What’s also great is I get more ideas for things to add to the Etsy shop.

-Earflap hats for my friend Rachel’s daughters. I love how she used to same colors but mixed them up so they weren’t exactly the same.

I snuck a couple pictures of Hailey wearing it. Smile

-I also made a headband/ear warmer for Rachel. These seem to be really popular right now. I had never made one of these before but it is so cute! I may have to make one for myself.

Lastly, I finished all of the hats and flower clips for Leanne. She wanted to be able to switch her flowers around with each hat so I put them all on alligator clips. They work out really well. Again, I may have to make one of these for myself as well. Smile

I’m debating if I should put these hair clips in the shop… We’ll see

I may have to make them a little smaller

This isn’t an order but I found this hat I made last year. It used to be listed in the Etsy shop but I didn’t relist it this year. Anyway, I let Hailey have it! She loves it

Alright I’m done! I like to document new projects and orders I have so feel free to ignore this post.

Have a great day my crochet buddies

  1. Your Hailey girl is such good and proper model for your work!
    I think the clips look nice, so large. And the earflaps - I know one shouldn't wish for cold, but we don't really get the change to wear something like that, would be nice to try it out :-)

  10. I know exactly how you feel! I have a couple weeks' worth of orders and so many things going on right now that I just can't make my own kids' winter hats! And that is what I really want to be doing right now!
