Christmas Presents

I wanted to wait to post these beanies until after christmas because they were gifts and I didn't want the recipient to see them ahead of time :-)

Adult Beanie with flowers made for my friend Kim

This little "monster" went to Penn for a special little boy who likes to scare himself!

This went to a little princess girl. . . I hope she enjoys it!

I made this adult frog beanie especially for my cousin Averi. . . complete with pink instead of red and freckles

This "minion" went to Florida for my cousin Macy by special request. . .I heard she "loves" it ;-)

Monogram Beanies

Honduras Update!

I am so excited to announce that the church building in Honduras has now been completed and will seat up to 300 people!  A big THANK YOU to those who supported through the purchase of my handmade items!  Beacause of you,we have all had a part in this awesome investment and dream!

Tinkerbell Beanie

I had a request for a special little girl that LOVES tinkerbell for a beanie with the tinkerbell colors.  I created a pea green beanie with accent colors of purple, blue and white (cute fuzzy yarn) and completed it with a tinkerbell centerpiece for the flower.  I hope she likes it!

The King makes an appearance

By special request. . Mr. Lion.  This lil'guy was a bugger to make.  I had no idea the mane would take so long and be so tedious . . . he sure did turn out cute though

Popular Purple

Here are some of the requests I have had for beanies lately. . . purple seems to be pretty popular.  Featured in this post are a purple kitten, a purple owl and a purple monkey!

Happy Thanksgiving!

As a labor and delivery nurse I decided to do a little "special something" for the first baby born on Thanksgiving. . . I made that special baby a pumpkin beanie! 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! There is so much to be thankful for. . . .

New additions to my collection

Baby Chic beanie for newborn :-)

Fishy!

The panda has been very popular. . . I have actually made this beanie in newborn, kid and adult sizes.  It is too cute!

. . . . more beanies. . . .

The frog beanie has turned out to be one of my favorites so far!  Love him! Thanks Crystal E. for the suggestion.

These are my giraffes. . . . the one on the left is the adult size, the one on the right is my newborn size

 Remember the pig from an earlier post?? I revised her a little due to the popularity of the earflaps and braids.

My version of a strawberry

(newborn size)

And by special request, the ladybug!

Baby Shower for twin girls :-)

 Last weekend I was priviledged to attend a baby shower for a good friend of mine. . . Daysha!  She is having twin girls! I created two sets of beanies for her twin to match some monkey onesies as well as an owl and hippo blanket.

 

Introducing. . . . . Beanies!!!

Yes. . . it has been awhile.  I lost my inspiration for a short amount of time, but I think it has returned.  I have been working on some adorable beanies in both newborn and infant sizes.  I am experimenting with adult and kid sizes right now, but nothing has been finished

Recent Creations

Just wanted to post some of the recent things I have made. . . some are on etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/sgrethought), some are sold, and some are waiting to be posted on etsy

Free Butterflies!!

I am giving away this adorable butterfly pendant/clip set!!  All you have to do is visit my friend Misha's blog to find out how to enter. . . @ http://mommyhobbiesandkids.blogspot.com/2011/04/butterfly-pendant-giveaway.html?spref=fb

The larger grey butterfly has a pink center and green/blue antennae with both a pin and clip on the back.  The smaller butterfly is yellow with a blue center and green antennae. This small one only has a clip on the back.  I have had some really good feedback on my butterflies and so decided to use them for the give-a-way. 

Here are some other butterflies I have made in the past.  If you are interested, shoot me an e-mail with the colors/sizes you would like @ sg-rethought@hotmail.com

Paper Products

Oh how I love these lovely little accessories!!  Each flower is made from antique book pages, sealed so they are nice and sturdy, and finished of with a variety of buttons, feathers, beads, crochet work, etc.  Each one is different and unique!  The smaller flowers have either a alligator clip on the back or a pin, the larger flowers have both the alligator clip and the pin allowing for multiple uses!  The larger flowers also have a crochet backing to them.

Meet "Stella" and "Hank"

Miss Stella, pictured above, was made out of a real sock with buttons for eyes and a crochet bow to accessorize (made her look more feminine).  I recieved the pattern/instructions for this monkey from my buddy Misha, who is actually doing a give-a-way on her blog for a handmade sock monkey, just go HERE!!

Hanky here is almost 100% crochet!  He is grey with yellow on the tips of hands, feet and tail and has two different sized buttons as eyes.

If you are interested in purchasing either type of monkey, shoot me an email at sg-rethought@hotmail.com
