Sugar Plum Snuggle Sack & Hat

A dear friend of mine recently had a baby.  Before her new little bundle of joy arrived, I really wanted to make something special for the new baby.  I perused Pinterest for cute crochet baby cocoon sets.  I found one that I really like, but when I followed the link to the etsy store I found even more cute sets.  I finally decided on the Sugar Plum Snuggle Sack and Hat by Cielo's Closet.

The pattern was great and I was able to complete it in time for the new babies arrival.  I am looking forward to seeing pictures of the new little one in this cute set.

Shimmer Silver and Black Bow

I loved how the Red and White Sparkle Bow, so when I was asked to make a bow in Silver and Black to match a Dress, I knew that this bow style would be perfect.  The pictures do not do this bow justice and was really hard to get a great picture of it.  But it is truly adorable in person.

$4

 This bow would also be cute on a big girl or baby headband.

This is the cute dress this bow was made to match.

Gold Headbands and Bow Tie

Isn't Gold a great color at Christmas time to have.  It seems that it can go with so many girls' Christmas dresses.  These were another order I received at Christmas time, and with it came the question of if I could make a matching bow tie, as the Mom wanted her little boy to have a matching bow tie.  I was able to do just that.  I made two different styles of headbands, as one of the girls was twelve and the other eight.

 I felt this larger headband would be more appropriate and fun for a teenage girl.  A bit more mature.

Black Red and Gold Round Bow

Made this elegant bow at Christmas time to match a little girls Christmas Dress.  This style would also work for a Baby headband or Big Girls headband.

Adorable Baby Headband Refashion

While reorganizing photos, I came across this gem.  A couple of years ago I had a friend come to me with her baby's headband that the elastic had come off and as the bow was quite special to her, asked if I could not only fix the elastic but add to it.

The original headband was just this small cluster of flowers on a skinny elastic.  The Headband was perfect for a Newborn, but as the little girl was almost a year old at this time, it was now very small on her head.

Wanting the original piece to be the main focus on the new headband, I added a couple of simple additions to the grouping.

 I then finished it off with a new lace elastic.  I simply adored the finished product and my friend was just so happy that her little girl could continue to wear this special piece.  In the future the headband can be removed and a clip added or added to a regular headband, making it possible to wear this headband/bow for many years to come.

Ice Cream Cone Headband

I love Celebrating Birthday's.  My Mom always made a bid deal out of our Birthday's growing up and I do the same with my own kids.  I like to make my kid's a birthday cake of their choice (which cannot be fancy, as I am no professional cake decorator), I take them to the store to pick out birthday plates, cups and napkins, they get to choose an activity to do on their birthday and also what they want me to make them for their birthday dinner (unless they pick to go out to eat for their birthday as their activity).

This past month my cute little niece turned 1 and I just had to make her something special for big day.  I decided that I would make her a cute Birthday headband.  I liked the idea of the ice cream cone headband's but I didn't like the thought of using an actual ice cream cone (as it could fall off and break).  I made the ice cream cone out of felt and adorned it accordingly.  I love that this is something that she can wear each year for her birthday.  I was so excited for my niece's birthday to arrive, so I could try it on her.  She looked adorable in it.

Now for the picture overload of this cute headband.

$15

My adorable two year old had fun modeling the headband for me and she wants one for her Birthday.  For her I will add it to a regular metal headband.

Vintage Style: Gold, Pink and Cream

I am so in love with this Headband.  I love Vintage Style and have been wanting to make some of these fun headbands for a while.  A friend had asked me to make a headband for her daughter that would match her Christmas dress that was ivory and gold and wanted a touch of color added to the headband.  Together we decided pink would be a perfect accent color (as her daughter loves pink).

$15

 I loved how the colors came together perfectly and the end result was so stunning.

 I simply adore this headband.

 To my delight someone saw a picture of this headband while in the process of making it and also wanted one for her infant.  So here it is for an infant.

$15

Now to make all my girls pink, white and silver ones to match their Christmas dresses.

Red, Black and White Headband

Another lovely mix of colors.  I obsess with every  last detail on every headband. Which makes the Daisy button flower the perfect addition to the bow.

Black and Aqua Headband

I love the blend of this headband.  Black and Aqua looks so stunning together and compliment each other well.  With a touch of white this headband was absolutely perfect.

$10

This picture isn't the best quality (as it was taken by my phone at night), but it shows how it would look simplified.  Still just as pretty.

Triple Pink and White Headband

Such a sweet headband. What girl doesn't need a pink headband or two?

$8

Red and White Silk Headband

Isn't this a sweet headband?  It is so simple, yet elegant at the same time.  I love the lace detail.

Winter Wreath

Isn't this a fun winter wreath.  I was commissioned last year to create flowers to go on this wreath.  The person wanted the wreath to be BYU blue and white.  I had been wanting to try making felt flowers and so this gave me the perfect chance to do so.  I tried three different types and then placed the flowers on the wreath.  The end result turned out perfect.  The flowers were so fun to make and in the end I think this wreath makes a perfect wreath for winter or the month of January.  You could even add some snowflakes for a more wintry feel.

Red and White Daisy Onesie Dress

A few months back, I was asked to make two onesie dresses.  In the request I was asked to make them slightly roomier through the bottom, as the baby that would wear them had a harness she wore to help correct hip displacement.  The customer requested for one of the dresses to be pink and to surprise her with the second.  With Christmas being around the corner at the time, I found this adorable red daisy fabric and just had to make a red one.

I loved the color of the dress and again included a removable bow on the dress and a headband to complete the outfit.

 The great thing about the detachable bow, is that it can be turned into a hair bow later on.

$4 for the bow only

 Here is the pink onesie dress that I also completed.  As you can see I don't always make the exact same thing twice.  This dress had a slightly different removable on it.  Plus the matching headband was different.
