hats...hats...hats!!!

Since I've been home with Averie. I've beenworking on my hobbies during her nap time. It's been so perfectly awesome. Here are some hats that I just finished. Isn't Averie the perfect hat model??

Hair Clips

I've been trying to find cute hair clips for my 6 month old. Surprisingly, I could not find anything to my taste - some were too big, down right ugly, some a choking hazard......etc. So, I decided to make my own. Which is perfect, because Averie can have one in every color and design. Why didn't I think of this before???

Sugar Cookies - Baby Shower

My sisters and friends threw a baby shower for me this past weekend and I thought it would be cool to make some additional goodies for the party. The baby shower was super cool and the cookies turned out pretty good. Check it out......

These were my favorites!!

Not quite the same one we sold last week but still, the color is rust. Apparently, a very popular color on Etsy. Thanks for looking! :-)

Animal Sugar Cookies

These sugar cookies were baked for a friend's Red Egg and Ginger Party as party favors...


We made about 75 of these varieties and put them in individually in cellophane bags and tied with a blue ribbon, along with customized labels. Phew! It was a lot of work. But the end result was fantastic and the cookies tasted good, too. They were hit the party and even all the broken cookies (the rejects) had disappeared by the end of the night!
