Winter Blues - New Crochet Pattern from Jaybird Designs

My Etsy Shop
My Artfire Shop

Neigh....

A friend of mine asked me to crochet a hat for her horse, LOL!! We had a nasty cold spell here this winter and she was afraid that his ears would get frostbitten. After weeks of delays and lots of measurements, I finally got it to her this week. It could use some modifications, but I think Hawks really likes his new "hat!" LOL!!

Daydreamer Hat Pattern

This week I released another pattern in the Portrait Series, the Daydreamer Hat!! It's such a sweet hat featuring a box-style construction, super soft yarn, and fun little tassles!! It works up quickly and will make a wonderful addition to your growing collection of portrait props!

You can find it in my etsy shop or on Ravelry!

Baby Pictures and a Preview!

I got to play with my new camera a little yesterday taking pictures of one month old Abigail! She is a doll and did an excellent job modeling for me! Her twin sister Zoe is still in the hospital with some complications, so we are praying that she comes home soon! I can't wait to get pictures of the two of them together!!

The Ugly Hat

It's finished! Hope it's ugly enough for her, LOL!!

Creative!

OK, so for those of you who don't know my little Heather, well...she is not the most creative child. It took F-O-R-E-V-E-R for her to start playing make-believe and she will only draw a face....nothing else. She has started coloring a little more lately, but that is about it!! Not a creative bone in her body, LOL!! Which is understandable since it seems to skip every other generation in my family. (My grandmother is where I got my creativity from and yet my mother can not even sew a straight line! LOL!!)

Well, anyways....I purchase my cotton yarn by the cone and finished up one yesterday. Heather thought it would make a great party hat!! So I gave her some paint pens and off she went!! She is so proud of herself and wore her "hat" to the library today, LMAO!! I'm just thrilled at the "tiger" spots!
