Rockstar hat

My friend's son is a little rockstar.  His bedroom has been rockstar and guitar themed since he was born.  It is really cute.

Back in the winter she asked me to make him a rockstar hat to keep his head warm.  I think it turned out really cute.

Fall is just around the corner and I couldn't be happier.  I love when the weather cools down, but is still warm enough to really enjoy being outside.  I'm ready for all the fall festivals, pumpkin patches, colorful change of trees and bonfires.

Newsboy Hat

My sister wanted a cute newsboy hat for my nephew this past winter.  I love trying out new patterns.  I jumped on board to try the newsboy hat.  I had plans to make Evan one as well, but we had a warm winter and time didn't allow for me to make another.  He might get one for this winter though.

Initial Earflap Hat

Awhile back, a friend of mine asked me to make an initial flower on an earflap hat for a baby gift.  She sent me some examples of what she liked from different hats but she wanted to use a variegated yarn.  She also wanted me to make a flower for the side with the baby's first initial sewn inside. I thought this was a really cute idea.

Cowboy Hat & Cowboy Boots

Back in the spring my friend Lauren was pregnant with her first child.  I asked her to look through my patterns and pick out some things for me to make for her soon to be little man, Walker.  She knew she was going to have professional pictures taken so she picked out a Cowboy hat.  Well, I couldn't let any cowboy have just a hat.  He needed some cute boots to match.

Lauren had her little boy in late June and has already had the professional pictures taken.  I was so happy when she shared the link and download with me.  Now I get to share them with you!

Gage's Blanket

Back in the fall I made a baby blanket for my husband's cousin's child, Gage (did you follow that?).  This family loves all things camouflage that is why I went with a hunter green.  I used my favorite yarn, I Love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby.

I used one of my favorite patterns.  It is from RAKJ Patterns.  It is called the Triple Stitch Blanket.  I love it as you can use just about any yarn and any size hook.  This blanket works up really quickly.  You can see another picture of one that I worked up in a bulky weight yarn here.

Lamb Hat Pictures

Back in mid-March I shared the Lamb hat that I made for my friend's daughter. Well, it has taken me too long, but I finally got the pictures uploaded to the tonight!

Check out this beautiful little girl!  She is rocking the hat with her adorable jacket.  My friend Loria is also quite the photographer!

Little Boy Booties

Recently, I made a pair of adorable little boy booties and a hat for a friend who was pregnant.  She has since had her sweet little man.  Yesterday, I got a picture of her son in the hat I made and the little booties.  Oh he is just precious!  I also love that he is sporting the items I made him.

Isn't he just a doll?

My friend's daughter had her first birthday a couple weeks back.  It was all Minnie Mouse themed.  I made her a Minnie Mouse Hat like I have shown you before.  I wanted to make one more thing for her. I believe every little girl should have an adorable purse.  I went beyond the other purses I have been making and made her a Minnie Mouse Purse!

Perry the Platypus Hat

My kids love the show Phineas and Ferb.  To be honest, my husband and I equally enjoy it.  The humor in the show isn't crude or adult humor that you later have to explain.  It is just plain funny.  I also love a show that incorporates singing and dancing as it makes it that much more fun to watch!

Shannon and our friend Amy had a joint birthday party for their kiddos a couple of weeks ago.  I made both Quentin and Mariella a hat for their birthday.  Quentin loves Perry the Platypus (which is from Phineas and Ferb) and he is talented enough to make Perry's signature sound.  I asked Shannon if she had any ideas for Quentin and she mentioned a Perry hat.  I thought it was a fantastic idea and would be a great addition to my shop.

Check out Perry the Platypus!

Minnie Mouse Hat

I've had making a Minnie and Mickey hat on my to do list for quite awhile.  There are so many Disney fans that I knew it would be a hit.

Shannon recently had a birthday for Mariella and it was Minnie Mouse themed.  I asked her what she would like me to make Mariella and she mentioned a Minnie Mouse hat.  I sent her some pictures of sample hats that I had seen before and we pieced together her favorite version of them all.

Here is Minnie Mouse....

New Tutus

I have found that I love making tutus for gifts now.  After seeing tutus in the stores, you get a flimsy little tutu that isn't all the cute and probably won't last very long.  I wanted to make very full tutus that could grow with a child.  I've now made a few tutus for Ryan's friends who've had birthdays recently.  I learned how to wrap ribbon around the waistband to make them a bit softer for wearing.  Plus it gives added embellishment to the tutus.

Check out all these new tutus. . .

Polar Bear Hat

My sister created a board on my Pinterest labeled, "Ideas for Jill to make...LOL"She put the LOL, but really she isn't laughing, she is serious.  I don't mind though.  She is giving me new ideas for my shop and I always love a challenge.

Before Christmas, my sister started pinning Polar Bear hats for my nephew.  I promised to make him one, but I was so busy making handmade gifts for Christmas that it got put on the back burner.  Thankfully, my to do list has calmed down and I was able to make it a few weeks back.

Adult Cloche

A few months ago, my husband's Aunt saw Anna wearing her Sunshine Hat while at a soccer game.  She mentioned that she would wear one of those if it were an adult size. 

I am always wondering about good gift ideas and this was one that I could do myself.  I stored it away in my memory and put it on my Christmas to do list.
