Santa is coming... He is coming!

Said Buddy the Elf! ;) with a wonderful hop, skip and a jump! :) I really like that movie - so playful, light hearted and endearing :). I thought of that line while I took pictures of all these tiny hats! :)

I received and order for 9 Santa hats and then received several orders for individual hats soon after. So last week after work I spent much of my time on my couch with hook and thread in hand shelling out these lovelies :).

Here are a few pictures of the finished hats, some while in progress and a few elf hat photos as well as I received a few orders for those in the same weekend (business is good! ^-^) :)

So as I rallied the hats together as if they each have a personality of their own - I laughed quietly to myself imagining little Buddy Elves coming together and scrambling to help Santa before he leaves the North Pole for his awesome once a year trip. What can I say, my childhood was good to me lol - I look back on the wonder and the possibility of there being a Santa when I was younger, a guy I knew, leaving me gifts for no other reason except that I bothered to ask and tried to be a "good girl" that year... ah nostalgia ;)

I hope you enjoy the pictures! :)

The photo second from the bottom reminds me of when Buddy Elf talked about passing through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest... :) lol great movie, as always thanks for reading :) 

Christmas in July

I'm not very good at keeping up with the trends I'll admit. This was the first year I was shop ready for Valentines day in January, so I'm making progress ;). July is more than half over and I've gotten hook to thread this weekend to put together an Elf fascinator hat. I'm working on brushing up the pattern as well to be available (soon! soon! :)). But while its still July - lets take part in Christmas (in July ;)) with these pics of the Elf fascinator hat :)

***P.S. I'm working on another one right now :) that will be made of red and green but different yarns :)***

A few hours later.... 

Hey guys! :) I finished the second hat and made it with bright vintage red and green yarn given to me by my grandma - brings back memories of working on crafty projects with her! Good times! Did I tell you her and I also planted a garden together one year? Love that woman, I'll save gardening stories for later ;). Without further ado - here is the 2nd elf hat. The pattern will be available sometime this week... tomorrow maybe :).
