And more hats

The one on the left is for an order, you can barely see the 2 medium sized gold buttons, set for a bit of extra style.

The one on the right is made of larger granny squares and the yarn used is lovely mohair.


Another mohair set in a dark pink shade.
And here I caved in and used the fluff type yarn that you see every body using.
Baby Blue Fluff

Addition: 3 beret's, I bought a bulk lot of yarn on Sunday 27.08.08, for $40.00 and I have so far made these 3 beret's and a divine hat in light blue, there is so much yarn it will keep me going for ages, not that I didn't have a stock pile already!

Display stands

A simple yet effective way to display hats

A candle stand I was not using
The hats hung ok this way, but I wanted to fill them out a bit more.

So I cut cardboard circles out to achieve this.

Now they sit fuller.


I bought some stands that pull apart for transport and thought they would be perfect for my bags and ice-cream cones. But how do I hang them on then take them off easily for viewing or selling?

Oh, I can finger knit a length of cord that I can hook the items onto, A bit of heavy duty tape on the ends of the cord secured the cord for transport.
They are also attatch more securely in an anti theft way.
The stand cost $12.00 and it can be raised or lowered, the market table fit's perfectly in between the upright posts so it displays it's self with in all of my other products.

Cherished crochet prize

I received the coasters above as a first prize in a guessing competition from a fellow crochet enthusiast, who also collects trash and recycle's it. Not only was there great joy in receiving the prize, but just to hold and touch something, someone has put so much of their time and effort into was and is a great excitement for me, I also received as a surprise, the tiniest little flower.
Astrid, is the very first person to share their crocheted work with me.
Check out her blog it is a must see.
Thank you so much Astrid, I look forward to sharing more with you.
Oh, I hope you don't mind that I took the copy of your picture above.
