double strand flower headband
I added beads to the petals for a little sparkle...
These headbands are great because they stretch and can be worn
for a while without being outgrown! |

Super sweet single strand headband with 5 flowers
I attached pink beads to the petals |

adorable girls newboys hat with large rose
I can make this in newborn up through adult!! |
after making those sweet satin flowers for my dear friend i decided to venture out and make some more. this time i used beads instead of sequins. they are adorable flowers, roughly 3 inches in diameter and have alligator clips attached to them. they can adorn any hat and make perfect hairclips. enjoy the pics...
another sweet friend of mine is expecting a darling little girl any day now! of course i couldn't resist making her something precious! i took a try at making satin flowers. i've wanted to learn how to make them for a while now. i finally did it! i am really happy with how they turned out. they are a beautiful accessory to any hat and make perfect hair bows. I used them to attach to a pair of black boots that i made my dear friend! enjoy the pics...

a sweet set for my sweet friend! |
it's been a while since i've posted anything new on here. mainly because we just recently moved and then the holidays hit! now that things are slowing down a bit i thought i would start getting back into my projects. i am actually really excited about my latest crochet project because i made it without a pattern! i've done that a couple of times but this hat has a lot more detail than ones in the past. it turned our really cute. i made it in a newborn size ( when things are that little they are always cute) and i made a girl version first...mainly because i have a few friends that are expecting little girls soon! :) enjoy the pics below...oh and for those of you wondering i will be starting an esty sight soon...real soon!
I'm stepping out on a limb...I found some great patterns for some women's hats and i thought I would give it try! Don't get me wrong, I love making baby and kid hats and all that fun stuff but i wanted to see if an adult hat could turn out just as cute...here's what i made...and actually i took one of the adult patterns and turned it into a kids hat as well...still working out the pattern but peyton's turned out really well! enjoy...

threw this one in because, well it's cute...a new visor hat
pattern! |
{Why all the crocheting...}
i can remember back when i was younger spending a lot of time with my dear sweet grandma. she was and still is a very special and very important person that the lord has given to me. in that time growing up i can remember doing all sorts of things with her. spaghetti dinners every tuesday, garage sales anytime, doll shopping all the time, ceramic painting some of the time, playing yahtzee a must, but when it came to my grandma's hobby of crocheting, I was NOT interested. funny now, considering that i can't seem to get the crochet hook out of my hands. my grandma came out for a visit not so long ago and while spending some time with her she taught me how to crochet. this time i was interested. she just taught me the basics, but that's all i needed, and now, well the rest is history. thanks grandma for the lessons, i love you.
