Etsy Update

 

Fresh additions to my Etsy shops -

Sold and remade another pink and gray chevron blanket.

Same for the blue and gray gingham granny square blanket

NeW color palette for the chevron baby blankets. . . pretty aqua and gray!

Last {but not least} I have restocked the cotton washcloth section at the Prairie Cottage.

Hope you’ll stop by!

Shop Update

 

Happy Wednesday!

The weather is finally taking a turn for the better.  As least for the next few days…

My girl and I are trying to get a few things done in the yard/garden, but I have some shop updates for you.

Special request baby blanket… I liked the colors she picked for her new niece so much I made another one for Puddin’ Toes.

These are three blankets that I’ve made over quite a few times! The elephants and the cars go almost faster than I can crochet them ;)

 

At the Prairie Cottage, I’ve also remade my colonial flag ripple blanket a few times. . . including a custom baby blanket for a Marine family.  Awww, so sweet!

 

Several new crochet garlands at the cottage.  They seem to be quite popular… The yellow and gray granny/flower garland is my favorite though :)

Blessings to you!

 

Yellow + Gray Blankets

These pretty blankets were special ordered by a proud auntie… of twins! 

I think her idea is GENIUS -

Both blankies are yellow and gray, but one blanket is granny squares:

and the other is a hexagon blanket:

They coordinate and are so similar, yet each baby will have their own special blanket!

Aren’t they pretty together?

Gray & White Chevron Blanket… With a Train!

Hi friends! Just wanted to show you this chevron afghan I recently shipped to a sweet baby boy in North Carolina.

I can’t take credit for the design idea… This was a custom piece for a very excited new grandma, made to match her grandson’s nursery!

You can look for a few more chevron baby blankets soon.  I really love the gray and white chevrons and stashed a few more design ideas in my sketchbook. 

Cute!

Shop Updates

Happy Wednesday!

Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend! Just popping in to give you a quick shop update.

Here’s a little collage of some fall favorites that have been restocked…

And the sweetest little model wearing her turkey hat and a cowgirl hat

For more info, stop by the Prairie Cottage or PuddinToes :)

Gray and Orange Tractor Blanket

Did you know that I take custom orders for both my Etsy shops? 

Just finished making a custom blanket for a certain sweet nephew…

His auntie wanted a gray, orange and white colorway with a tractor….

I’ve never crocheted a tractor before and it took a few tries to get a pattern worked out. 

I have to say I LOVE these colors together!

So convo me if you would like a custom item from one of my shops… PuddinToes or thePrairieCottage  :)

February treasuries

A little update

We’ve been living a little crazy here the last couple weeks. 

My boy’s been playing varsity baseball this fall…

and

also filling in for the JV when they are short.

That means driving to from WY to CO for his games X2 and it’s been a challenge to balance homeschool, work and Etsy!

I do have a few updates for you.

I’m down to the last, lonely pumpkin runner. 

I scored a whole bolt of this fall homespun!  It’s SO hard to find orange fabric… one that isn’t bright “Halloween” orange and more “pumpkin-ish”!  But now that my bolt of pumpkin-orange is finished, I can’t get more until next year when the fall fabrics return :(

The turkey hats have been flying out to their new homes, but there are still a few left.

The pumpkin knot hats have been restocked.

And there are more candy corn booties and candy corn knot hats, as well.

 Happy Thursday!

What’s new…

The turkeys are back!

 

Thanks so much to Kristin Staples Photography for the adorable photos!!!  So sweet.  Couldn’t you just eat.them.up!?! 

Want to make your own turkey hat??  Use a simple cloche/beanie pattern from Ravelry or Crochet Central.  Add a magic circle turkey… some French knots…. and ribbon feathers… voila!

Don’t have time to make your own?  There’s a whole flock of turkeys over at Puddintoes. 

What’s new?

I just added the cutest little Mary Jane baby shoes with tiny bows.  More colors to come, but I’m starting off with this pretty honeysuckle pink. 

Same sweet Patch-the-puppy baby shoes, in fun new colors!

I’ve had several requests for the cowboy cowgirl booties in pink for little princesses.  I’ll eventually make them in an all pink version, as well.  You know.  In my abundance of spare time. ;)

Well, I’m off to search for a new-to-me car!  My car has been in the shop for repairs off and on since last December and has finally died for good.  We’ve not  been totally carless (my teenage daughter has a car)… but it’s really a hassle getting everyone where they need to go with one car!  I’d so appreciate your prayers to find a reliable used car!!

Have a blessed week, my friends!

As seen on . . .

Little pUDDINtOES was featured on two lovely blogs this week!  How fun!!
