I'm Officially Obsessed

I have been hooking, and hooking, and hooking. I am obsessed with these hats. They whip up in less than 2 hours, if I'm working on them continuously, which never happens. I have been playing with lots of stripey color, and I love how they look. I am having the hardest time with my models. They just never sit still for a second. It takes me 20 minutes to get just one good shot in a hundred. My littlest one won't keep hers on for more than 2 minutes. Of course it's hot outside, and who wants to wear a woolie in the blaring sun. I'll be working on more picture taking today. Wish me luck.

On the stitchy front, I have had more progress on Jenny Bean. I will post a pic of that one soon.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by,

New Color

New Hat on Etsy!!

I've finally got my new design and a few pictures, and have posted them in my Etsy Shop. I have worked very hard on designing and getting the sizes right for this hat. It is a slightly slouchy style, and can be worn in all seasons. I just love it, and my baby and my nieces are such cute models.

Another New Look

Okay, I didn't look this happy last night. I decided that I needed a trim, and asked my sister (who is not a hairdresser) to cut my hair. She usually does a good job, but let's just say.... that she had had a couple of glasses of wine and went a little overboard. I was hacked! And to top it all off, I bought some hair dye that DID NOT look this red on the box. My grays are HOT PINK!!!!! My hair has never been this short, and I don't know how much I hate it, yet. My sister came over at 7:00 this morning saying that she hadn't slept much and needed to come and fix it. She brought breakfast, shampoo, a hair magazine for short hairstyles, spray gel, curlers and her SCISSORS!!! Well, needless to say, I let her fix it. It looks much better than last night, but I will never get it to look good by myself. I just cannot do my hair. I am the type that takes the towel down, adds a bit of gel, scrunches my hair a bit and lets it dry that way. I believe that this new style will take a little more work. Maybe I'll take another pic tomorrow

On another note, I had a wonderful day shopping with my Mom for Father's day. We'll have a nice family barbeque tomorrow and the weather promises to be great.

Until another time,
Hillery

I've Officially Started My Etsy Shop

Well, I have officially started my shop. Right now just a couple of things, but I am working on a couple more ideas. I have actually had a few sales. Nothing to write home about, but it's a start.
My shop is called RUSTIC THREADS. It's a name I picked out a while back when I started up on Etsy, and it turns out they won't let you change your name, so I won't be 22 Threads on Etsy. The shop will be dedicated to patterns, finished products, and supplies like yarn and possibly some cross stitch items. Please stop by and add me to your favorites.
Thanks to all my blogging buddies.

Help! Unable to Post Comments

I am having trouble with Blogger lately. I am unable to post comments on the blogs I read. It always asks me to sign in, then I do, then it takes me back to the comment, then asks me to sign in, then I do, then it takes me back to the comment.....you get the picture. Also on the top right hand side of Blog pages it says Create Blog Sign In. I think I am signed in. I have tried Signing Out, then back in, but this has not worked.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch,
Hillery
