My Other Hats
In addition to the owl hats, I had a few customers challenge my creativity. Since animal hats were popping up all over the department stores, I had a friend who requested for a kitty hat.
I think I got one very satisfied little girl!
I had another lady request for a HELLO KITTY hat. Here is my version:
What I loved most was the freedom some gave me to just "make" them something. I didn't come up with these on my own. These patterns are both from Vallieskids. She is SO talented!! I had visited her blog a few years ago when I first started crocheting. These pictures are my versions of her patterns.
This one she named "Bottoms Up":
This one is named "Quickly Brimmed".
I made one for a customer:
I just had to make one for myself. Here's my little model showing off my finished product:

OWL HATS
Owls are the "IN" thing for 2011. I found a couple of crochet patterns online for owl hats and decided to give it a try.
My first one is from Daisy Cottage Designs:
The other pattern I found on Crochetville (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122078):
This is the pattern I used to create Savannah's Owl hat. Of course, I also had to make one for Gaby and Nina. My neighbor was next in line. Then my niece. I had my own walking advertisement for my work and was starting to get orders from other people too.
For the last months of 2011, I spent every spare moment crocheting owl hats for my first customers.
"WHOOO...WHOOO wants a hat? DO YOU?"

Our Little Itty Bitty Baby
It feels like we have been waiting a long time to finally meet you! I cannot believe how big you are already.
"For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb." Psalm 139:13

Happy New Year
Another year gone....
Every year seems to be going by more quickly than the one before. I haven't accomplished all that I had on my 2011 Resolutions yet. Even though I feel like I am falling behind, and far from being where I want to be as a wife and mother, I am so thankful for another year to start fresh. Well....no quite so "fresh". I still have everything from the previous years tacked on, but feeling a little relieved that there's another 365 days to work on my goals!
Happy NEW YEAR!!!
