Find Us on Facebook!

Wow, so far I've blogged everyday!  But then again, it's only been three days...

Anyway, I just came from my facebook page where I have 260 fans!  I'm so honored that 260 people like my stuff enough to click "like"!  However, I am a sucker for nice rounded numbers so I am looking forward to hitting 300.  As I said on my facebook page, whenever we do hit 300 fans I will be giving out a coupon code for 15% off at my Etsy shop exclusively for my facebook fans.  If you are like me you loveeee saving money, so let's help each other out!  Go invite your friends and family to my blog and my facebook page and help us reach 300 fans.  And once we do I'll send some savings your way!

Thanks in advance and happy inviting!

Whoooo's There?

This afternoon I am finishing up two owl beanies.  The owl beanie has become one of my favorite hats because it is just so darn cute!  I received an order for another pink owl (slightly different than the one pictured) and a blue owl.  I'm excited to try a new color combination!  I'll be sure to post pictures when I am finished with them, but until then here are a few pics of the owls I have already made.

Enjoy!

And Away I Go!

Hello there blogging world!

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to start a blog for my business, so here I go!

First a little about me...
My name is Jenni and I am married to an amazing man named Josh.  We have two furbabies named Callie and Cassie.  I have been teaching second grade for four years.  I learned how to crochet last summer and I've been "hooked" ever since. 

Now, A little about my business...

My Mission: 
It is my goal to offer hats and accessories that are as adorable as they are practical.  Why not keep your head warm in style?

How it all began:
Growing up my mom would crochet baby blankets to give as gifts and I always wanted to learn, but I just hadn’t taken the time to learn. Once I started seeing all of the adorable hats, baby cocoons, scarves, etc. that people were crocheting I realized that it was so much more than just baby blankets! So, once school let out for the summer my mom taught me the basics and away I went! After I spent most of the summer making a baby blanket for my future baby I found a pattern for a hat and made it. After I had started posting pictures of what I had made on Facebook people were asking me about purchasing things! I was happy to oblige and I made a few more things. Word spread and more and more people were interested with every new picture I posted, so I decided it was time to make it official and I started a fan page on Facebook and then an Etsy shop.

What I offer: 
I offer hats for all ages and sizes from newborn to adult.  I make basic beanies, newsboys, newsgirls, and animal beanies including monkeys, owls, penguins, raccoons, rabbits, and my newest animal addition a dinosaur complete with spikes and a tail! 
I also offer cocoons, nests/bowls and hanging stork pouches for those adorable newborn pictures.  I recently added an adorable little purse and I'm looking forward to adding additional sizes soon.  I’m always open to suggestions and I would love to customize an item just for you.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas and I would be more than happy to give them a try!

Share the love!
Please be sure to swing by facebook and "like" my page.  While you are there you can browse through pictures of my creations and find your next favorite hat.  After you are done browsing click on over to Etsy and add my shop to your favorites as well!

Thank you for stopping by!  Stay up to date by becoming a follower of my blog.  That way you will be one of the first to know when I update, share something new, or post a giveaway!

I'll leave you with this adorable picture of my new dinosaur beanie taken by Leia at Lucky D Photography.
