Something Special Coming Up!

Good Morning to anyone who stops by to see what I've been creating!  It's going to be a great day, I just know it.

I have been super duper busy creating and I'm loving it!  I finished the romper set!  Here it is, all comments are welcome and appreciated!  Size shown is a Preemie, but romper is available in any color, from sizes preemie to 24 months.

I love how it turned out! 

I also completed a new slouch hat.  This one is done in a hand dyed, and hand spun wool.  The yarn was rather on the expensive side, so I haven't put a price on this one yet.  I am having trouble uploading pics to the blog today, it's giving me some funky message.  So, no more pics.  I will try to upload later today if it will let me.

Anyway, the new slouch hat is pretty amazing.  The colors are off the charts!  Once that was completed, I started and finished a "capelet".  This is similar to a cape, only it just covers the shoulders.  It is done in a baby Palette yarn called Lemon Pie.  This yarn is amazing to work with, it is so soft and so shiny.  The capelet sports Purple, sparkly daisy buttons.  Next in line to complete is the matching hat!  The capelets are available in sizes newborn thru 5T.  I am selling them for $18 for the capelet only, in your choice of colors.  Now be warned, the yarn used in the one shown (see my facebook page for pics for the time being)  comes in limited colors.  There are similar yarns out there to give you more choices.  Send me what color you would like and I will send you a link to view your choices of yarn.  Anyways.... if you order the set, capelet and hat it is $22.  I think these would be awesome for little girls on Easter Sunday!


Ok, here's the something special with a little bit of history!  I am a 30 yr cancer survivor.  I was treated at WVU Children's hospital.  Luckily I did not require chemo or radiation, my cancer was removed by surgery.  Last evening, a friend of mine from high school, Sandra, mentioned that I should try to market my character hats for kids who are going through Chemo.  What an awesome idea!  But, I am going one step further.  For every hat that is purchased in the month of March, through my blog, facebook, etsy, zibbet, ebay or artfire.... I will donate an identical hat to WVU Childrens' hospital.  The only difference in the hats will be the materials used.  Worsted weight yarn can sometimes be irritating to a child (or adult) who has no hair.  So the hats that I donate will be made with either Carons' Simply Soft, or 100% cotton.  I'm excited to take on this project.  Let's see who will take me up on it!
