Baby Bean meets Winter Bean



It's true, it's true. A Winter Bean for the little one. Of course the first one goes to Claire, my ultimate hat model. Isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen? Now her ears are warm! I better get on another one as she's going to grow out of this one real quick!

Beary Bean



This Beary Bean is a very special order. David ordered it for his niece who lives in Scotland. I am very excited about this hat, it is so cute. I can't wait to see what it looks like on a kiddo. It's soft and it's going to be nice and warm. Next, Doggy Bean or Lion Bean, need to get some more yarn first. Hope you like it David! Also, hope that Katie loves it :) You'll have to take some pictures for me!

Brilliant Idea


Joe had me make him a green and yellow hat because he is a Duck fan. So, the brilliant idea is to make more sport team colored hats! Especially green and yellow for the Ducks and orange & brown for the Beavers! WOOT!

Beanie Cap



Today, I finally did it. I made a successful Beanie Cap. It's pretty good I think. Nat says that it needs something in the bill to keep it stiff. I am not sure that it does. It seems to stay where it is supposed to all by itself.

Chicken Hat


I made a chicken hat for David for his Halloween costume.
It's a hit so far and it's not even Halloween yet. Can't wait to see it with the rest of the costume. I used pipe cleaner to get the doodle to stand up. I am going to add more as it is still a bit too floppy.

Vest Harness


I've been learning to sew since 2000. Slowly learning how to make new things and learning how to get along with my sewing machine. My mom doesn't sew and asked me to make her dogs each a vest harness. I looked at one that was too small for the smallest dog, Tiny, and made a pattern for both dogs. I learned that you cannot sew sticky Velcro, not unless you want a sticky catastrophe. I learned how to use bias tape and how to make it. It was fun and my mom has already purchased the material needed for some winter vest harnesses that are warmer. I will be making those as soon as I get chance, it's already very cold in Central Oregon. It's defiantly funny making 'dog clothes' and I will not be making a hobby out of it. Kewpi and Tiny are both so very enthused to be dressed up in matching outfits, they can hardly handle the excitement.
