Bear Hat Pattern

I am super happy to announce that another animal hat pattern is up and ready in my shop! This time a great bear hat pattern is now available with 4 different sizes. For sale for 3 dollars it is a great value. It can also be purchased made for 30 dollars for a newborn size hat.

One of my favorite animal hats yet just because it is so simple and cute that your babe could wear it constantly. I love making photo props, but I like it even more when I can make something that can be worn and loved to bits!

This little one is sitting on my granny square blanket which I absolutely LOVED creating! I have yet to get it up in my shop, but when I do it will be completely customizable with many colors to choose from.

Bear Hat Coming SOON

A friend of mine took some FANTASTIC photos for me a few weeks ago. Well she showed me this photo as a sneak peak and I just HAD to share!

Her daughter is the model and man is she a cutie!

She is wearing a new hat of mine that will soon be available (both hat and pattern) in my shop soon. The blanket that she is laying on is also a creation of mine! I love that we got to incorporate multiple items into one photo. She has a GREAT eye!

Check her out NKS photography Caution: she also does some great boudoir photos as well!

Anyway, I just had to show off a little. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this photo and cannot wait until both items are up in my shop!

Don't you just love a good modern photographer!

Rethinking the Granny Square

I have seen some bad granny squares in my day. I have even created some really bad granny squares that I would like to burn to this day, but recently I have learned that granny squares can be absolutely beautiful!

Here are just some of the granny squares that have inspired me to pick up my hook and try again!
And yes I know that one of them is a circle, but its a very perfect circle I just had to throw it in!

Simple changes in color, stitch, and pattern can transform a granny square to a modern beautiful work of art!

I have been very inspired by the work above and vowed to make my cousin (who is now expecting a baby girl) a gorgeous granny square baby blanket.
I will make sure to post my progress (as soon as there is some to show).

Anybody else weary of the granny square?
Hopefully this will help boost some confidence!
