White Christmas Bonnets

I've been dreaming of these - soft cotton velveteen on the outside in rich colors, and soft white fleece on the inside for extra warmth and softness, all tied up with a satin ribbon. Delightful!

Bunny Basher

I found this great book in the library last year with fun toys to sew (sorry, I'll post the name if I can track it down) and it had a pattern for mice skittles with a cat head ball and it made a great gift. I decided to try a variation on the theme and came up with this warren of bunnies and a head of lettuce:) Bowling with veggies is always a good time.

So Mod

I've been saving this bit of turquoise blue wool from a friend for many years and finally went for it with the stripe - fun, playful, and cozy warm.

Impish

I think it's more fun to see the hats in motion so I coerced Rosie into modeling the Imp hat and the fingerless gloves I'm experimenting with!

Button Inspiration

Ah, buttons! I'm not a huge fan of the button hole part, but I do love buttons. I bought this lovely bag of goodies at the thrift store the other day and was reminded of beautiful button blankets and other costume pieces I've seen decorated with buttons....

Nurtured By Nature

Yep, I talked to the beautiful Holly at Nurtured By Nature and she is interested in carrying some of my winter hats. She sold the lighter ones this summer. So... if you're in town check out her cool store full of healthy baby and parenting stuff, or you can shop online at http://www.nurturedbynatureparenting.ca/.

Here is a taste of the stuff for her. I've had a few requests for the Jaunty hat in girly combos so here is a pink and sage version. Love that butterfly print with the chocolate brown!

Head stands

Thank you, Dave, for the great head stands you whipped up just in time for the Mom's Market. So simple - a base, dowel, and light bulb shade - but effective. I think hats read better on a "head" and kid mannequin heads aren't an everyday thrift store find. Now if only I could find a slightly smaller bulb shade...
