Luna ~ Autumn Hippie

So... first thing... my vacation was great... swam with P until I didn't think my fingers and toes were ever going to loose their raisin-y texture!

I spent some time puttering (not as much as I'd anticipated...we were having too much fun to work!) and knocked a bunch of projects off of my "no rush list" YAY!!!!!! It's great to shrink the list!

One of my favorites was a sweater set for the mom of one of my models. She needed something special for her new neice (who will be making her debut shortly). I had carte blanche with one tiny stipulation, make it for fall... I immediately knew what I wanted to do... chenille of course, and break into some of those new colors I ordered but haven't had a chance to play with! ...it all came together beautifully and I think I'm in love with Luna - especially the head band with the bead detailing!

The Luna - Autumn Hippie set (in a 4 to 6-ish month size) will soon be added to my repitoire. I'll also be offering the Luna Headband on it's own which is very forgiving and will fit anywhere from 6 months to about 6 years!

Enjoy!

hoppity hop.... star struck bunny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The baby bunny hat has became a favorite to many before it hit the market, thanks to this beautiful picture that Carol posted on her blog!! ...then with this week's Prop Insanity review ...so many people are asking...where's that bunny??

well...here it is... freshly posted to paperraisins.ca

The specs - 100% Acrylic (super-soft), ears lined with a cotton/polyester blend, trimmed with bows. Currently available in newborn size only... perfect as a photography prop, or as a gift to a new mommy!!! The baby bunny retails for $26.00. Available in tan (shown) or mottled tones. This bunny's star struck with the following fabric options, please let me know which one you choose at the time of ordering.... yellow, teal, blue or green

Hope you love the baby bunny as much as I do!!!

...Making it work

This post is a test of sorts! I'm taking issue with the fact that when I post pictures along with my text for some reason my spaces between paragraphs mysteriously disappear. Incredibly frustrating!!

So I thought i'd give it another go and make it worth my while by including a pic of a sweater from a set I made for a client. The style was requested in this fantastic color for her neice's baby after she met me at a local craft show.

It's a pattern I really love...Auntie was thrilled with the results and hopefully mom was too. The set was hand-crocheted using the most melty-soft acrylic chenille... a weakness of mine!!!

Here's hoping the spacing stays put!!

OH...MY...GOODNESS... apparently paragraph spacing was too much to ask... what does a girl have to do to get a single blank line between her paragraphs??!!???
