Little frog

Today is actually January 10... I was told to update my blog and found I had this unpublished one from December. I deleted the content and am writing a shorten version of what I was going to post.

Happy Holidays!
I will be on a trip to Las Vegas.  Hoping it will snow again while I am there. 

Made a new hat for the trip.

Blue

A couple weeks ago I made a cat hat in a blue.  The blue is for a special request on a hat that I am still working on.  This cat will probably be a one of a kind.

Pink

Another Duck!

I was asked what is the cutest hat I had.  I am not sure what would be the cutest, but I know which is my favorite at the moment, because it seems to be the softest fleece I have.

This pink cat is going to Japan.   I am hoping for pictures of the hats in Japan.  Ear flap Bunnies and Ladybug are making the trip also.

Names

I've noticed that I seem to name things by what the color reminds me of.  And it was pointed out to me that I seem to associated colors with different foods.

The last one was Rye because of the color of dark rye.  I happen to prefer dark rye.  I was going use Cookie as a name but it just did not seem to fit.

I like caramel.  Candies.  On desserts.  In coffee and other drinks...

A color change request.

I have not made the flower hat in any other color up to now, but I got a request for brown and pink.  


Flower brown/pink

It had been a while since I made a flower hat so it took me a while to get the flower to be the right size.  I have a basic pattern that I had drawn out from the first Flower I made,  but it is just a guide line for me.  I like the freedom to cut and alter a creation.  It also helps to be a little flexible since the fleece are of different textures.  I use whatever I find.  Some of the fleece have a soft feel, others have a rougher texture.  And then there are some that have a more polished smooth look to it.  I have also notice that the color varies too.  I guess dying is not really a consistent thing.
