my 15 minutes of fame

i was featured in the Daily Herald in Utah and while there was no photo shoot (I WISH!) i was still quoted to not want to get arthritis when i'm 40!

have a little heart

so in honor of valentines day, with every order someone places in february, i am sending a heart motif along with the regular one the hat comes with.

its for real now

...maybe ;)

so, i got some hats to the photographer i will be using to take photos of my hats. she is really quite good, i look at them and think they should be in a magazine. and her boys are beautiful. i am sending off a bunch more hats (and booties) to her today and i am excited to see the results.

Thank you for your purchase!

I will send the pattern to the email address on your PayPal account. If you need it sent to another email address, please email me directly at alifecrocheted09@gmail.com with the pattern name and your transaction ID in the subject. I will reply to the email with the pattern.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the pattern!

we have activity

life has been insane and i was surprised to get orders over christmas break (saved my booty), but now it is slow and i can get caught up on other things. the first and foremost is trading hats for photos. Shipra Panosian contacted me and was finally someone who photographed, but did it with a feel that i like. its warm, no matter how cold the picture looks, and its real. everyone else takes pictures just the same (no offense, they're all beautiful pictures and i'd love to be able to photograph anything that came out that nice) and i like her different style.

school has began to keep me busy again. but it will all be okay, i am sure. i have a very good feeling about this semester (versus last) and feel i have a wonderful 7 months ahead of me (1.5 in France)

scarf/neckwarmer for angela & cute little earflap hat

new hats & new motifs

the last hat is for alli horsley for being so wonderful as to let me photograph her. however, i liked it so i wanted to put it up on my etsy to see if others would like it as well. we'll see!

i love the pansy and the butterfly. i hope these two motifs help the hats sell!

yay for modeling time

Thanks to Sarah for letting me use her darling Ally for these pictures!

finally, something to talk about

i finished my "full line" of colors for my hats. and its about time! so i have lots of colors for people to pick from. whether you want a visor, newsie, slouchy or just plain beanie, i can make it (and would love to).
