A Project Update

I made mittens to match the Sock Monkey hat and shipped both the hat and the mittens last week. Here's the complete set:

I'm working on a Pikachu hat for DS4's Halloween costume. The face parts just need to be added to the beanie part. I think it'll be great!

My two youngest sons received an invitation to celebrate the third birthday of a distant cousin, so I made a little beanie as a gift. I love the colors!

A couple of weeks ago, 2 friends and I took our children (12 of them!) to a pumpkin patch in Medina, Texas. Despite a few raindrops, it was a beautiful fall day in the Hill Country, and everyone had a great time!

New Autumn Items

I spent the last couple of days working on autumn items for both shops. I'll be posting these in the next couple of days.

First at The Lavender Lizard, I created a set of 2 pumpkins for decorating. I used some gorgeous squishy-soft chenille tweedy yarn. They look sophisticated!

I also relisted my Harvest Stripe cotton scarf. I originally made this for the Military Brats Fall Challenge, and it sold the day that I listed it! (Thanks, Anhoki!!! Hope this will keep you cozy!)

I can make it again, so it is listed as a custom order -- I'll just need about 2 weeks to complete it and ship.

Over at The Lavender Ladybug, I'll be listing new pumpkin and apple motifs for appliques or paper crafting. For the pumpkins, you can choose either brown or green stems (everyone in my family had a different opinion, so I made both!)

As you can see from the photos, the apples have a little brown stem and a little green leaf. They are adorable!

Right now, I'm making little candy corn motifs. They are turning out sooo cute! I will list a photo here when I post them at The Lavender Ladybug.

Other new items in the works include a tote bag in harvest stripes and custom orders for slipper socks and baby blankets. Please check back often!
