Minnie Mouse Hat!

Don't these pics. make you want one of these cute hats??!  It doesn't matter how cute your product is, it is ALL about the pictures when selling online.  I think these will do the trick:-)) What do you think?

The bow is hand crafted by me, and is detachable!!

One of my favorite things about making hats.....



A customer appreciation pic. sent to me on my etsy site with baby wearing "the Santa Hat inspired Santa Hat."  What a cutie!



This pic. was sent to me on my etsy site as an appreciation photo, and I just LOVE it!  What a compliment that she used my hat in such a creative way, and was nice enough to share it with me.



It is SO great to know that the hats I take such time and care to make end up taking part in some memorable moments in other people's lives!

I''m sharing these on my blog first....

How cute is my newest hat!!!!!  Can be made in different colors, too.  These two were made for the girls.  Alyssa wanted a purple one, so this was what I came up with.  Reagan just got what I wanted to make...so cute on her:-)

C.A.B. latest creations

Sounders colors soccer ball hat.

Traditional soccer ball hat.

For those of you who don't follow my Candy Apple Boutique blog, and don't check me out on ETSY (shame on you, btw), here are some of my latest items.

Some New Hair Clips

So, no new family pics. as of yet, but I detoured from my laundry and decided to create some new Spring hair clips today-I love these. I think I got some really amazing photos of them as well, which really helps to show people how cute these clips really are. Alyssa and I had fun taking these pics., as she was my model today-Reagan likes to rip out hair clips, but will keep the hats put in her hair, so she is more suitable for that job. Anyhow, I just thought I'd share a couple of my latest happenings-feel free to share this link if you know anyone who would be interested in getting some of these clips!

Brighten-Up-The-Snow-Bunny Hat

I came across this yarn and knew that it would make an adorable hat! This hat reminds me of a warm snow hat, but fancier. We get an insane amount of compliments on this hat when Reagan wears it (I made this one for her!).

Cream Hat II

Bird's eye view of the hat-I created a unique stitch to give this hat the above design when viewed from above.

This is the same pattern that I created for the original cream hat, but made with a different yarn. I don't know if it is obvious in the photos, but this yarn is slightly more cream-colored and has a bit more stretch to it than the yarn used in the original cream hat.

Oh-so-soft crocheted winter scarf

I made this scarf for myself, and I love it! It is soft and warm and wintery-perfect for the holiday's!

Light Sky Blue Alpaca Women's Hat

I made this one for me:-)

Baby Rea's Hat

Reagan wears this hat all the time. I need to get a picture of her in it! This is the same yarn as used in some of the other hats. I love the versatility of it, and use it often.

Alpaca blend womens hat

This hat ultimately ended up with a grey double layered flower to match sewn onto the side, but here it is prior to that. I sent it off to the new owner of it before realizing I forgot to photograph the completed hat.

Alyssa's Hat

This picture is awesome. I took it in my front yard and it was one of those amazing captures, if you ask me!

....Same with this one.

I felt in the mood to play with my pictures tonight, and thankfully I have such a wonderful program to accomadate my creativity. This hat is hot pink with black trim crocheted in such a way to display the pink yarn through the black spaces. The flower is black with a silver rhinestone.

This hat was designed with Alyssa in mind. She has always looked pretty in pink, and so came my vision for a pink hat with pow! A couple hours later and my creation was completed with love for my daughter. I LOVE this hat. I think I'm allowed to love my own stuff, right:-)
