So sorry I've gone AWOL lately! Life has been a little wackadoo, but good. 😊

I wanted to share my adorable baby cousin Kaelani in her little crochet set that I made her. 😍 Isn't she the sweetest?!

The blanket was made holding 3 strands of yarn together throughout, so it makes a subtle and beautiful pastel rainbow. ❤️ And it's super plush and squishy for little baby hands and feet! These are my favorites for tummy time blankets. 😁

Wooooaaaahhhh!!!!! This is super accurate! I'll tell you what....I had to place 2 different online orders to pickup in store yesterday because my stores were almost out of colors I needed. Even then, I ended up going to 3 different yarn stores between Naperville and Oswego to get all I needed for orders and to start/finish Christmas gifts. DEFINITELY NOT OKAY! 😂😂😂

Tis' the season!

Where are you all at on your maker's list?

Another finished order was picked up this morning. 😁 This one is a child size crown ear warmer. If you'd like to order, the child size is $15 and the adult size is $20.

Going yarn shopping this afternoon! If you're planning to make an order I'd recommend having it in before 2pm to avoid any extra delays. 😊 Thank you!

READY TO GO!

I don't often have items ready to just be sold and out the door. However, I have some items I'd made as samples looking for a home! Their prices are on the photos, and one of the earwarmers has a twin. All are machine washable and dryable except for the purple crown.

It's small business Saturday! 😁

Thank you all for your support this year. If you place an order over $40 today you'll get a free earwarmer tossed in (pattern and color are a surprise, but you can choose adult or child size). 😉 Happy Saturday!

GOOD NEWS AT BOTTOM OF POST! Read on or skip to the second to last paragraph! 😉

You all are awesome! Thanks to all of your shares and orders I was able to do a marathon crochet session yesterday to crank these two orders out. I haven't finished one THAT late at night in a long time. It was so fun! 😁

The first order is an adult size in gray and a child size in the pink. The second are Three Dark Crowns (excuse my literary humor). Two adult sizes and one child size in the black sparkle yarn.

**This week I successfully found a way to get the sparkle yarn at a great discount fairly consistently. What does this mean for you? As long as you're willing to wait a few days for your order, I can offer these crown earwarmers in adult size for $20 and child size for $15 regardless of whether it's sparkle or regular yarn! Woo!**

If you'd like to order, please PM me or comment on this post. Christmas is coming, and there's turnaround time for each order. Sooner rather than later is best. 😊 Thank you so much for your continued support!

I have 2 crown earwarmers for sale! I rarely make things without an order, but I couldn't resist with this pattern! 😍 Both crowns use specialty yarn to make them sparkle. In the brown yarn the pictures aren't doing the sparkles justice, so I posted a picture of the yarn itself as well so you can see them.

Each earwarmer is $25 (I can make custom colors, plain with no sparkle is $20).

*If you buy both of these that are ready to go I'll do $45 for the pair.

Happy Monday!

I'm reaching out to you all to let you know that I'm volunteering with Fur Angels Animal Sanctuary! I'm really excited about this opportunity. Part of my volunteer work is making crocheted blankets and mats for the animals. These are used in their foster home and then they take the blanket with them when they're adopted so they have that familiar scent and object to help them adjust.

Here's where I need YOUR help! I need donations of yarn or monetary to purchase more. My business stock is kept separate from donation stock. SO if you know anyone giving away yarn, please feel free to throw it my way! 😁

Thanks for your support!

I just finished this baby blanket with the matching lovey. The lovey has a tie on it so the pacifier can be attached. I crocheted some stars into the border to match the print of the fabric as well. So happy with how they turned out! 😁

Anyone need a nose warmer? 😂😂😂
