I love when customers include a photo in their review! This little girl is wearing one of my fur trimmed Pixie Hats that I upcycled from a boiled wool cardigan. It is lined with Sherpa to make it super warm. Her mom took such an awesome picture during this photo shoot. Permission was granted to post this picture.

My newest product - Pixie Hats for Adults and Teens! Made from upcycled Wool, lined with Sherpa and Faux Fur to frame the face! I embroidered the snowflake on using beads I had removed from a vintage shawl. They are super warm and super fun to wear. Many thanks to Julie for the great photo shoot!

Things are very quiet in my Etsy shop these days so I'm making much needed face masks (as are some of my friends). I cut up men's cotton shirts and a cotton sheet to insert in the middle and a twist tie in the top edge to pinch over the nose.This batch will be going to protect midwives!

After several customers bought my baby bibs for their dogs I decided to make some dog/cat bandanas. Isn't this a great pic my customer sent of Asher intently watching the Raptors game. He is right into it!!
