Furry Giftset

A couple months back I made a pair of furry boots for a new customer who is expecting a baby girl in July! She loved them so much that her mom ordered a matching sweater and hat to go with as a shower gift.... Unlike the boots pictured above, this customer selected blingy/sparkley buttons to accessories her boots hence all the bling on the sweater and hat! LOVE how the items turned out.... and hoping the customer does too.

Feeling Wild!

I have been a bit remiss at posting lately.... I admit the beautiful weather here in the midwest has made me want to spend more time outdoors than at my sewing machine! Just finished up this custom order, and am thinking of adding a pair to my etsy shop too.These cuties are for a 9 month old. I have some extra scraps so I am hoping to also make a matching headband for the customer.... these shoes call for accessories :)

These Boots Were MADE for Walkin....

Remember, the post where I asked if it would be acceptable for me to wear an adult pair of furry boots?! Well, turns out some one thinks it is since they ordered a pair, and honestly I loved how they turned out so much that it was hard to pack them up in a box and ship them away (tear). Guess I'll have to find time to make myself a pair of my very own! In addition to the adult pair of booties I had a few orders for baby boots, the purchaser of these particular cuties wanted a little bling (YES)..... I just love sparkley buttons!!!!!

Since these were custom orders, they aren't listed for sale at the shop, but I'd be happy to make you a pair! Your wish is my command (for a small fee of course!)

Boots with the Furrrrrr.....

Remember when I said I bought lots of new crochet shoes patterns from one of my new favorite Etsy shops? Well, I finished another pair! These particular cuties are called Furylicious Booties (if you're interested on purchasing a pattern of your own, check out the link!). I made these as a custom order for a baby size 3-6 months. Question: Do you think these would be tacky on an adult because I am sorely tempted to make a pair for myself!

I don't have current plans to list any at the shop, but custom orders are always welcome!

Hockey Giftset

I recently completed a custom order from a previous co-worker. I really just "pretend" to crochet since sewing is my passion, but since there is very limited craft items for hockey, (what's up with that?) I had to get creative! I mean seriously, no buttons, no fabric, no nhl licensed anything..... SO, this is what I came up with; The family she is gifting the items to are HUGE Nashville Predators fans, hence the colors. The baby is supposed to be born in March, so I made them to be a 6-12 month size so that he could enjoy them for next hockey season.

Why Do a Custom Order?

I LOVE to do custom orders (I apologize if that phrase has become redundant in my blog posts!). After all, the items I make are done to my taste and though I must say I do have excellent taste (ha!) I understand that everyone is different and prefers different things: less/more flair, different fabric, etc. I also feature many more items on my blog than I do in my shop, so something you love from my blog may never be sold in my shop. Therefore, I can make any item that you see on my blog or in my Etsy shop specific to your tastes.... don't hesitate to ask!

Fall - Tis the Season to Sew!

It is officially fall (where does the time go?).... which basically means it is craft season! Ok, well I guess it's ALWAYS craft season, but there is something about fall that makes me want to sew. I'm not sure if it's the beautiful fall colors, the fun fall fabrics, the chill in the air that makes me want to stay inside, or all the fun fall projects that I have been waiting until now to work on.... That being said, here's some of the items I am working on: aprons, shoes, place mats, table runners, hot pads and more. I LOVE fall fabric, below are some of the goodies I've found!

See something you like that isn't for sale in my shop? Want a custom order? Contact me!

Custom Orders

I just finished two custom orders.... well, okay it was officially one since the other project was for myself. The first "real" custom order was for a college friend of mine who is expecting her first child in December (yay!). She was interested in purchasing a nursing cover, but wanted one in brown/cream colors.... since I didn't have one pre-made I took a quick trip to the fabric store (oh, darn) and had far too much fun picking out new material for this project! I hope she loves it and gets plenty of use out of it.

The second "custom order" I just completed was for myself. We just finished painting our family room.... which means I needed to sew new pillow covers! The colors really brighten the space and I love how they turned out.
