Summer Fun Crochet Photography Prop Baby Hats



I'm a sucker for Red White and Blue. To me, it represents warm summer days sipping a cool drink in the shade of a huge tree. It represents the Heart Land of American, Apple Pie, Baseball and Independence Day. When I was a kid we could walk to the corner fireworks booth and buy whatever we wanted and we always had a huge cook out for the fourth. Those are great memories for me and when summer approaches all I want to do is create in my summer colors, Red White and Blue. So here are the first of this years Summer Fun baby photography prop hats. Look for more coming soon :)

Wonderful Pearl



Lisa Green and I converse via email on a regular basis since she bought several of my photo props. She has such wonderful ideas and gives me a great perspective from the photographers point of view. She sent me this photo featuring a beautiful baby wearing one of my hats she'd purchased. As you can see Lisa has a wonderful vintage style and the coloring is gorgeous. I can't complain about the hat, PEARL either, it really works well in this photo. Thanks Lisa Green for providing me with this and other professional photography shots featuring beautiful babies wearing wearing my handmade crochet photography props

Raggamuffin: My Raggedy Creation


With yarn in hand It's hard to put off the inevitable so with a large hook I set out to create. The yarn screamed to me, it wanted to be a funky little elf hat and I agreed. I could picture the hat perched atop a newborns little head, a tassled little stip laying gently on the babys behind. I could see it all.

Well here is my image and my creation. Now Raggamuffin waits patiently to be purchased and perched atop a brand new baby's head.

Raggedy New Purchase




The new handspun yarn I just purchased and picked up is awesome. It kind of reminds me of a rag bag with faded greys to brilliant fuschias all in one long continuous strand. I've already created a cute as can be baby elf night cap. I just need some photos and I'll get it listed. Althoughy i bought the yarn to create a baby hat this yarn had a big impact on me. The one thing this particular yarn did for me was sparked my creativity. For a while I've been wanting to dabble in t-shirt yarn and do so fabric strip items. I have an abundance of both but haven't been motivated to start. Well I think I finally have my spark of creativity that is the incentive for every new project I start. I'll keep you updated but I have big plans and am motivated to get started. Keep your fingers crossed :D Kathy

One of a Kind



I love creating hats using specialty yarns. I often browse different sites like etsy and artfire looking for handspun and hand dyed yarns. The yarns that attract me most have that thick and thin texture that makes a beautifully eye catching and unusual hat. Most often these yarns are in very small amounts and I may only be able to make one hat with a particular lot of yarn. So of course they are One of a Kind. I'm always looking and when I find yarn that appeals to me I scoop it up. Once the hat is finished I list it and it usually sells quickly :D
Check my shop often for those special One of a Kind hats for a beautiful newborn photo prop.
