Oh it's been SO long!
Well I've not posted, but I have been knitting! I actually have been knitting a ridiculous amount!
Let's see.
I knit, a Hudson hat for a benefit. A super sad story, so if you're in the market for some small/medium longies and a matching Hudson, this is a great opportunity to do something good!
I finished Stacy's longies for the photography studio...but forgot to take a finished picture! Pity! They're SUPER cute! But I'm sure Stace will send some to me once she uses them!
Here they are as a "WIP"
Yes they are SUPER bright :)
I finished a birthday hat for one of my BEST FRIENDS, Stacy. It was the first I'd made from this pattern, so I had to try it on to make sure it fit! I apologize in advance for the way I look! Myspace-esque photos aren't my best!
And this last hat I finished for a really good and sweet person. It's a surprise.
**again with the myspace pic!**
Gabriel, my almost 1 year old (tomorrow is his birthday) also loves the surprise hat I made.
I also just bought a skirty pattern! I'm ridiculously excited to try it! If you want to be a tester for it, please email me! lolacatecreations@gmail.com

One mroe for today..
...unless I become TOTALLY ambitious. With 2 sick kids, I'm not thinking that's going to happen!
Anna's Hudson Hat! I'm pretty sure that this is my favorite Hudson Hat I've ever made. I LOVE the that this hat is SO girlie without being ALL pink!

Stacy Jacobsen Photography!
Stacy and I have been BFF (best friends forever) since 6th grade! I'm no math whiz, but that is a long time! :) She is one of the most gifted photographers I have ever met! She sent me this picture of my hat, and of one of the sweetest, snuggliest newborns ever! (Totally got uterus twinges!) Here's her website www.stacyjacobsenphotography.com
& Just for fun, my family picture shot by Stace in December!

Leah's Birthday Girl Hat!
Stacie, Leah's mom & I have been friends since we were pregnant together! Stacie wanted a cute hat for Leah's 3rd birthday (which is coming up all too fast!)
Here's what I came up with! I'm going to get a charm of the #3 and string it onto the bow, and sew the bow shut so that it won't come off!

Gabriel's Birthday Longies
These were bittersweet to knit and finish. These are the longies that my little man will wear at his first birthday party! I can not believe it's already been a year! it's flown by! This yarn was hand dyed by an amazing artist, TJTunraveled
Without further ado
Also the stocking at Cong-Fu went well! I sold 2 custom Hudson hat slots!

Finished Projects!
Kimmy & Bella's Jane Hats!
So, as you may, or may not know, I have two little boys. I have 4 sisters, 2 step brothers (but they're way older than me, so I NEVER, saw them). I didn't know how to do the whole boy, thing, but 3 years later, I'm hanging in there! I absolutely adore all things girlie, and pink, glittery, flowery, fairies...seriously. I'm a GIRLIE GIRL! These hats are just that! My friend Jenn has 2 little girls, Kimmy & Bella, and Kimmy loved the hat Bella got with her longies and wanted them to have matching! Voila!
{love} seriously.
This hat, I wish I had a little girl to put it on! It's going to be stocking at Cong-Fu on Wednesday the 4th. It's a super soft Cashmerino from Annie Amelia, and I duplicate stitched "Love" onto it! Seriously. I think I want one for me!
