Autumn Flapper



This hat was derived from a beach hat pattern. I just omitted a few rows to create a Flapper style hat and then accented it with my double crocheted flowers. The hat is done in a beautiful shade of Autumn orange and accented with brown.

Ear Flap Hats....and a pattern!!



These hats fell into place accidentally! From a basic hat to ear flaps and flowers...these hats bloomed into production and came out really cute!

I loved them so much, I decided to write up an eBook for those who want to make one too.

Marilyn Manson!!




For a forum challenge, we had to pick a line from our favorite song and create something new that depicts the song and includes the lyrics....so I chose Marilyn Manson's "This is the New Sh*t". I created an applique of Marilyn's face and embroidered it on a self designed messenger bag. The back has his initials in reverse applique and the lyrics are embroidered on the inside.

More new hats!



Crocheted hats are those wonderful little projects that you can whip out when you only have a couple hours but need to keep your creative juices flowing.

These two hats represent just that.

The first is a flapper style hat with a lovely double flower and vintage button.

The second is warm & velvety and unisex!!

Jack the Pumpkin King




Well, my son wanted something "Jack"...so I got to work on the computer digitizing Mr. Skellington to the best of my abilities and then grabbed some black waffle knit fabric, made a hoodie and embroidered Jack on the front! I think it's a hit!

Bohemian Charm






What do you do with a pair of ripped jeans that your child can no longer wear? You turn them into gauchos with Bohemian flair!! I added stripwork ruffles to a pair of cropped jeans...appliqued on some flowers and created a shirred peasant top with spinning denim flower to match!
