Christmas is looming

Well Christmas is just around the corner, Cooper celebrates his 1st birthday on Christmas eve, I cant believe he is nearly 1 already is growing far to fast :(
I was giving a small challenge from Suzan at the Little kiwis Nest to make a long Santa hat.
I am not the most christmassy person around, but this year I have been caught by the "Joyful Bug" and I have been creating the kids fun stuff. So my hat is done and I even got to take photos of my nieces son "Oscar" who was a fabulous little model :-) Check him out here
I also have been doing some "In the hoop" projects for the kids too, check out my little Xmas stockings, these are the perfect size for adding your candy canes to the tree, Each one is personlized so there will be no fighting :-)

Loving Hats

Ok, so I have been a bit slack on my updates, but I have had the month from Hell. I am so looking forward to 2010, Roll on the New Year!

Anyway I have managed to squeeze a few things into my days,

Firstly I went shopping, I hear you say "Well that's nothing new" ...........so very true.......HOWEVER this time I went all the way to Australia (gotta love the internet) and I purchase a crazy amount of wool and cotton at the sale Bendigo Woolen Mills is having. I personally hold Kelly from knit.so.quaint responsible as she told me all about the place.

Luckily I had enough money to pay for my yummy scrummy namaste bag in Eggplant. Look out people I will be crotcheting EVERYWHERE now!

I have enlarged my Unisex peaked Cap up to an adults size. I am EXTREMELY happy with this design, Infact so much that I have made Myself one, it is fresh off the hook.

I have also whipped up two testing samples of my "Bears have ears" hats, I am liking these, the are terribly cute. I am think that they need a little something extra too. I may keep that a surprise, so you will have to wait and see.

New banner, I am so excited

I am loving my new photo background for Marshmellowmagic Designs, especially seeing it features my own son in it, Gotta love little "well fed" babies.
