Handmade in the 505 {giveaway}

I
began crocheting when I was pregnant with my daughter, who is now
almost three, and fell in love. My first project was a scarf which
turned out to be the most uncomfortable, awkward thing ever! But instead
of giving up, I began making hats and small flowers which I turned into
hair clips and gave away at birthday parties and baby showers.

Now
that I have two kiddos, life is a little more hectic, but when I have
the time, I love to sit down to a movie with my needle and yarn. It’s a
great way to pass these long winter months and also the perfect source
of entertainment when my hubby is watching football.

In my shop, you will find scarves, hair clips, blankets and sunglass
cases, but my favorite things to make are little baby beanies like the
raccoon pictured above. They are the perfect shower gift and so fun for
newborn photos.

Actually, anything baby sized is fun to make.

And girl’s hats. I’m a sucker for little girls in beanies. My daughter gets a new one every year.

Since
children’s head sizes vary, I recently added “made to order” listings
in the shop. You pick the size, color, and any accessories, and I create a
hat made just for your little one.

I don’t know about you, but I am not a fan of cloudy skies and harsh
cold wind. Winter hats might be cute and all but I’m a Spring and Summer
girl through and through. Thankfully, here in the 505, our winters
aren’t too long or too cold, but just cold enough that I’m dreaming of
warmer weather come February. And that’s how I get my Spring fix by
making crocheted flower hair clips.

You can never have enough hair clips and these are great for Valentine’s Day or Easter! I
love how I can crochet practically anywhere and can create almost
anything and I love being able to give homemade gifts and make a little
extra money through my shop.
