Project of the week 12/17

My youngest wanted an Angry Birds hat, not just any angry bird, the black on because it's his favorite since it blows up.  This one provided to be a challenge for me!  I came up with my own pattern for it and if there is enough demand for it I will see about getting it typed up and published.


He was so excited that I had it done when he got up that he wouldn't take it off!



He had to wear it when we went out to my parents house and he helped feed "Grandpa's Birds".  I think he fit right in with them

Project of the week 2.15.12

Colors I'm using for this weeks project


This weeks project is a little different.  A little 6 year old girl in my community has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.  A friend of her family's asked me how much I charge for hats and when I found out who it was for, well lets just say I couldn't charge her for them.  There are different organizations out there that take donations of hats, blankets, and toys for children who have cancer.  There are also ones for adults too.  I encourage all crafters to look into these organizations in your area if you are wanting to do something similar.

Project of the week for February 8th

The project I did this week is ever so cute!  I did a twist on a monster hat pattern from The Train to Crazy.
Here is the original pattern which can be found HERE




Of course the Little Guy wanted changes made to it, so I did a few modifications of her design.  He wanted two eyes so I made each one half of the size it calls for.  He also wanted a nose, because Monsters need noses Mom, so I just did a sowed on nose.  Knowing how hard he is on things I decided to sow on teeth instead of using the felt teeth.  I hope you all have fun making this, I know that I did!!!!  Now if I can just convince him that he doesn't have to wear it all the time and can take it off!
