The { IDEA } Posting Page!

Welcome to the { Idea } Posting Page!

Now, you may be asking yourself 

"What is an Idea Posting Page?  What kinds of ideas?" 

Well, this is where you can post Ideas for new hats, cape sets, color combos, etc!  
If I feel I have the ability to make your idea, I'll take on the challenge!
I love hearing about what is popular too!
 I specialize for hats, scarves, photo props and hair accessories - just to give you a basic idea of what to suggest

**Now, I try very hard to steer away from licensed creations, such as Disney characters, because they are a registered trademark and I could technically get into a LOT of trouble if I were found selling such items without the owners knowledge. So please, don't ask me to make something that isn't mine -Thanks!

You can post with your own blogger account, gmail, etc OR you can post anonymously, if you like.

Don't be shy! I love hearing new { Ideas! }

Sweet and Simple Baby Afghans

I was recently approached by a Soon-To-Be-Mother about if I made Baby Afghans to match any of my hat designs.  I replied I had not but I would love to create something new and custom for her to match the Teddy Bear Hat she had been eyeing.  I LOVED making this because I rarely get to make afghans.  I made an 18" x 18" size for her and loved it so much I wanted to add it to my shop.

Using a classic, yet simple, design: The Granny Square.  I love the textural appearance and the Border Stitch.  It has a very comfy feel and the Zig-Zaggy border makes it a little whimsy.  Best thing about this style: It can be made using multiple colors!  Alternate the colors every third row, or keep it solid but change the border color... the options are nearly endless!



Sizes:
18" x 18"
20" x 20"
22" x 22"
24" x 24"

My Current Color Selection!
I recently added some new colors to my collection, so I decided to update the Selection Chart ^_^



Handmade and Giveaways....

I have decided that I am going to do my best to post Giveaways and Contests that I am sponsoring so the few fans who hop over to my blog can get in on the action. I mean, who doesn't like a good giveaway, contest, auction, or otherwise? Especially when they are sponsored by Artisans and Craftsmen and women?

Owls!

SOOooooo, since it is summer, I was trying think of different items I can crochet for the season. I mean, who in their right mind wears warm hats in SUMMER?  Okay, so I know some do because they live in colder climates.  Anyway, this is what I can up with!  I still need to attach the bands so they'll create a cute headwrap, but I LOVE this little guy!



This would also be perfect on an alligator clippie.  I also want to create designs for a lady bug, bumble bee, and other cute motifs!

Come One, Come All Sports Fans!

 A co-worker of mine asked if I could make a hat for her nephews' new baby boy.  She begrudgingly stated they are Bronco Fans (She's a Packers Fan) and I immediately though of this!  All of the team colors and an adorable Football Motif!  I love the simplicity and bold statement it makes!


Customize your team colors!

I CANNOT wait to get this in my shop because Football season is going to start!

Sweet Little Princess.....

or a Handsome Little Prince!

This most recent request was a blast to crochet.  After figuring out stitches and crown height, I was able to add some ADORABLE little crafting pearls to finish it off.  Obviously the boys crown won't have them, but I had to add a few clusters to the girls crown.

Mr. Reeve, once again, joked I should crochet a blue one since apparently we can only have baby boys. *shakes head and rolls the eyes* Men!  Hee hee ^_^
