Anywhoo... I have gotten a few things done in the last few weeks. I wanted to make an extra special gift bag for my kids' teachers because of all the love they put into teaching them this year. Last year I did a movie-night themed bag for Eli's teacher, but I wanted to do something a bit different this time. Just like last year I made simple patchwork-style gift bags using some fun coordinating fabrics and lined them. This time I added an interior pocket and a fabric flower turning these totes into almost a fashion accessory! I posted a pic of them on the Knits and Knots Facebook page and got a lot of positive response. I had several follow-up orders and I had fun seeing how they each turned out with different fabrics.
I was contacted by a photographer for some seasonal hats for her fall/winter newborn photo shoots. I loved the outcome of both of these sweet toppers.
And my last project is the most fun of all :) This sock-monkey photo prop set was commissioned by a girl who had seen one online and tried to order it for her soon-to-be-newborn baby only to find out the woman selling them had closed her shop to new orders because she was swamped with business! I couldn't blame her as the idea is simply darling. Its a sock monkey earflap hat and matching diaper cover with the cutest little tail on the rump. Unfortunately for me I don't have a good model to show it off, so this was the best I could do.
