Hey Santa! Wait, wait... Lucy is that you!? :)

I recently sold a tiny Santa hat to a wonderful customer Cindy of California! :) Cindy was kind enough to share photos of her feline Lucy in my Santa hat! Lucy looks like she would make a very good Santa - organized, calm and collected - don't you think! ;)

I hope you enjoy these photos & a big thank you again Cindy for passing these on! Lucy looks adorable! :)

Bunny Santa, Witchy Cat?

I have awesome customers :) they are so nice! Truly... they send me pictures of their pets with my hats on from time to time and recently I was lucky to get these photos! Had to share - enjoy! :)

              

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 :) 

Discontinued Yarn Bites...

What's the big idea? Or rather whose idea was it to discontinue the TLC Amore Red Heart yarn I ask you? WHO O.O I. Want. Names. True, its my fault assuming that a yarn that I use would neva eva eva go out of stock or style or what have you - but c'mon people... you do a an online search for a yarn, it shows up in a store ... I was robbed I tell ya! 3 Michael's, 2 JoAnne Fabric's and an AC Moore later I have options to use, but not thee yarn I need. Have I tried Ebay you might ask? Um, yes, yes I have. 1 skein for nearly $7.00 adding insult to injury that yes, yes this is a discontinued yarn... NOTED... albeit far too late to realize. :p

Gah! I lament no more! Here are the new options for the santa hat red... the middle yarn is the last bit of red the hat was made out of for comparison... care to weigh in on which you like better? The yarn on the far left or right?

Santa's Got a Brand New Hat!

It's true... I mean why wouldn't he trade in the solid brimmed hat for this whimsical number? I suppose the snowy winds moving at the speed of light and all that might be why he needs the solid brim... but he's Santa... he could magically keep it on and even keep the jingle from janglin' - amiright? ;)

Well wear or wear not here it is! :) I'm quite pleased with how this turned out, (not that I doubted ;)) but it just goes to show the pattern is versatile and I love that :)... oh and this hat is now available in the shop too! :)

Happy day everyone! Thank you for reading!
