Variations on a Theme

As I was working on orders for Christmas, I decided to mix things up a little.  Lucky for me, it worked out! Below are photos of the different projects I completed and the different ideas I came up with.  Enjoy!

For the Boys

Here is the gift idea for the little boys out there, as promised.  This is a lovely little sweater.  Unfortunately I could not convince Landon to model today.  He is too busy running around the house to actually slow down enough for pictures.

12 Month Size Shown

Here is a cute tidbit about me while I was making this sweater.  I was on a business trip and had taken this along with me for a time killer.  I was working on the sleeves and knew they were supposed to measure 8 1/2 inches in length when they were finished.  Me being the skilled person that I am found a letter size sheet of paper and measured.  Only problem was I used the wrong end of the page.  The sleeves on this one measure 11 inches. 
This project ranges from 6 month size to 2T.
Now for the pricing on this awesome sweater: $15.00
Don't forget to email me with size and color requirements.

An Original

Good evening one and everyone!
Tonight I would like to introduce a project that is all my own.  Now some of you may already know this about me, but I tend to not follow a fashion accessory trend until it has been out for about a year, and almost a thing of the past.  With that being said I give you the flowered headband!

This headband is actually a pattern I found on a different blog, but he flower is my own creation. As you can see, there is no button, but there should be.  These are the headbands that were all the rage about a year ago.  I always thought to myself I should figure out how to make them, but never really found the motivation to do so.












This headband on the other hand I figured out how to make all on my own!  Major success in my life.  I was at work two weeks ago and one of my coworkers asked if I knew how to make these.  I said I could figure it out assuming I would find a pattern online.  And I did.  The problem is when I get an idea in my head it is very specific and I will not settle.  I was running into the problem of the crocheted headbands not looking like the knitted ones.  Then I found a pattern on Etsy.  I was pretty excited and then discovered it was sold out.  So I looked at the picture online and figured out my own pattern.  Yeah, I am awesome.

Here is how ordering for this headband will work:  I need you to email me the head circumference for the person the headband is for and the color(s).  The flower options are endless.  Anything from giant to several small flowers.  From 2D to 3D.  Also stems, leaves, and vines are also options.  Now for the uncomfortable part; price.
Newborn-Toddler $4.00
Child-Teen $6.00
Adult $10.00
As always email me with the pertinent information and deadline.
