Nope, this isn't a recipe! I know, how very odd! :)
I won a giveaway over at Premeditated Leftovers about a week ago. The prize was a crocheted item from Blaze 'n' Crochet created by Shana. I had the choice of either a hat or dish towels. At first, I thought I could only choose from the hats/dish towels Shana already created. But no! I could send her any idea or picture and customize it however I wanted. Awesome!! I decided to go with an infant hat for Emmett. Since I think bears are adorable, I found a bear hat design and then customized it. I sent Shana the info and she was able to create the hat in a few days. She sent me a pic for approval and shipped it to my house. Easy as that! The picture above is the hat I received. :)
Her hats are about $20.00. I HIGHLY recommend them. They are the perfect gifts to give out. They are handmade, from a small business, great quality (the yarn is super soft), customized.... I could go on and on. The best thing though is that when you give a handmade gift like this, people hang on to them. Really. If someone gives me a Gymboree hat for Emmett, I will love it, adore it, he will wear it, then out grow it and guess what? Yard sale. If someone gives me a handmade item, I'll love it, adore it, he'll wear it, out grow it and..... it goes into storage for future kids or to give to Emmett when he has kids. People cherish handmade items forever. It's just the perfect gift.

Very sweet, nice little hat....
That IS SO CUUUUTE! ( and I just said that in a really high pitched voice).
Thank you so much for all the sweet words about the hat. I love making them so much and it is such a great feeling to see the reactions people have when they truly love them. I am so happy you loved it!! I had a lady who was ordering a totally different hat change her order to a teddy bear but in pink and purple for her daughter lol. You can see it on my Facebook page too. Anyway, so glad you like it!! Thank you for the wonderful post also!
These hats are so cute! What a lovely gift idea! Thank you for sharing this post with the Gallery of Favorites.
