Blankets and Sheep

I've listed a few new items in my etsy shop and I'm trying a new item as of today. I've made a blanket for the Pirate Pixies to keep them warm in their bunks as they sleep.


I'm a little worried that some people might think that black is a bad colour for babies, so it really is just a testing of the waters. I going to make a few up in different colours so if that is the case they will have something other than black to choose from, but getting skull and crossbones fleece in any other than black with another colour is quite hard. I'm sure I'll get around this some other way. Maybe appliquéing the skulls in felt onto other colour fleeces would work...

I've also added a few more hats. My favourites being this orange and purple/blue skullcap


And this cute little new born Christmas Pirate Pixie hat in red and green


I'm working on another commission hat and should have it finished in a few days. Things are on and off busy, so that's good. I'm hoping my health will improve so I can socialize a bit more. Being stuck in the house most of the time is not good for morale.

I hope life is treating you well dear reader!

Time to get back to creating hats.

I received the package you sent. Now I have no excuse not to make a hoop. I showed my kids the video on your blog and they were very impressed (and it's hard to impress teenagers).

I doubt my hoop will look nearly as good as yours, though! Very impressive work.

I hope you are able to socialize soon. It's hard to stay upbeat when you're in the house all the time. I've lost touch with a lot of people but I'm hoping to reconnect in a few months because I'm sure I'll be up to it by then.

Thanks again for my pretty little package!

I was looking at the hyperloop site again. This sure sounds like this could be something I could get into.
