When individual fibers are crocheted together with a thread of emotion, they become an original, personal design. This creative process is my joyful obsession

Finally some pictures!

Yesterday, I couldn't get pics to upload, so today it looks as if it is going to let me!  So first off, here's a pic of the drivers hat that matches the romper I posted yesterday!
And here's one of it on the baby doll!  I think it's so stinkin cute!
I made this slouch hat, the other day.  I am so in love with the yarn and the colors.  It's very lightweight and would be awesome to wear on warmer days.  I haven't priced this one yet, as it is the one that I used the rather pricey yarn on.  If anyone is interested in purchasing this hat, just get in touch with me and I will figure out a reasonable price! 
and from the back it looks like this!

Aren't the colors so beautiful?  This yarn is hand dyed and hand spun, and like I said earlier a little pricey, so this hat will definately be the only one I make in this color!  I may have enough on the skein to make a child size hat like this one, but definately not enough to make an adult one.   That's not saying that if  you order, I won't go buy more!  I loved working with this yarn, and wish I could afford to buy more of it!

The newest character hat was made as a special order by my daughter Kassie, for a son of a friend of hers.  It is none other than Woody from Toy Story.  She, and the little boys Mom both loved it.  I haven't heard back yet as to whether or not the little boy liked it!  But I'm sure he did.  Here's Woody:

I promise that the hat is not crooked, I have it sitting on a styrofoam ball, and the ball kept rolling, hence the crookedness. 

I also created this cute little capelet.  What's a capelet you ask?  Well it's similar to a cape, but will only come right below the shoulders.  This one is a 2T, and is made in a yarn called Lemon Pie!  I love this yarn, just wish I could find more colors in it!  I am desperately searching online for it, but no luck yet!  I may have to make a special request from Crafts 2000, and see what they can order for me!  I have this Lemon Pie, white, and a 4 different varrigated colors.  If you would like a capelet they are $18 for just the capelet, or $22 with a matching hat!  You can also have your choice of buttons.  The ones on this one are Purple sparkle daisies.  I am going to make a couple more of these using different yarns, so that everyone can see how they look using something different!  Be patient, as they will be completed soon!  Here's the capelet:

and here's the matching hat:

Together:


Keep checking back for this sweet little ensemble to be posted in different yarns and different colors!  I think this would be perfect for a little girl on Easter Sunday!  Or, to wear anytime actually.  I love it!

Today is so dreary and rainy!  I plan on picking up the house and maybe tearing into the spare bedroom where I have a ton of yarn stashed and strung all over the place!  I  need to get it cleaned up and semi organized.  I just don't know if I have the umph to get it done today!  I think it's so rainy and dreary that it would be a great day to just sit and crochet all day!  On the couch, with a blanket and the tv. 

Don't forget I am running the special the month of March, that for any hat purchased, I will donate an identical hat to WVU Children's Hospital for a child with cancer.  I would hate to only have to donate one or two, how disapointed for the other children, and how would one ever decide which child gets the hat?
