FO Friday: Edith Hat

Get a head start on Halloween!

I’m starting to stock up on these hats. Because last year, I was crocheting at maximum capacity to keep up with demand!

The most popular item during Halloween season last year were these Edith hats. It was getting made in all sizes!

Mici the Mermaid

I’m gonna lose track soon on what part of “Adventures in Lalylala-Land” I’m currently at, thus the title. Anyways Mici is finally here! I feel it’s been a while since my last Lalylala creation.

This one used some metallic thread, which gives it a great effect!

Mici the Mermaid

The main reason for this guy’s photo shoot delay was finding a location. But during the 4th of July weekend, we had a chance to drive a ways away from home and found a spot for him at the Kaka’ako Waterfront park.

Mici the Mermaid

It was nice to have some ships around in the background, I felt it inspires a backstory for Mici. As if he wandered off and got stranded far away from home. Perhaps he could use a water-dwelling friend.

Birthday Banner

Birthdays come around so quickly, and I finally got one of those fancy shmancy cutting machines. So, I made this cute little banner!

For this project, I used the Banner Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers. I printed out and cut the letters using a font I liked in Google Docs (sorry, I can’t find it again). Put the whole thing on jute, and done!

Easy peasy! I’m definitely making one for my shop’s next craft table!

Since you got this far, be warned!  I’ll be holding an auction on my Facebook page this month. So get ready! Items may be ready to ship, they may be made to order. We’ll find out when it’s live!

Black Tourmaline Hat

I felt like knitting a hat out of a yarn I got a while back. It probably took me longer to find a pattern/design to knit than it took for me to actually make the hat. (Crocheter problems, lol!)

Craft Sale Haul

This past weekend, I went to a local craft supply yard sale. There was only about an hour left when I got there, but still managed to find some great finds and deals!

The first table I went to, I already found my favorite brand of stamps! She also had a buy one get one free deal, so why not!

The sale tables were mostly of scrapbookers. A LOT of stamps!!! Lots of paper, one table had some yarn, but there were SO MANY STAMPS!! Total, I spent $13. Brand new, retail price of my haul is probably close to $100. So with patience, yard sales like this can be quite rewarding.
