Royal Ladies Scarf

Another scarf that went out a few days ago for a Kentucky Wildcats fan!  The scarf is approximately 62" long and I added 2 buttons on one end so that it can be worn as an infinity or a traditional scarf. Lots of little puff stitches in this one and sure to keep the recipient nice and warm at the games!

'Pixie Hood'

How cute is this hood!?!  I'd sure wear one of these if I lived in a cold climate!  This one is a child's size, but can also be made for an adult.  I made this one using a pattern by "The Hat & I" and it's available in my shop.  The color combinations for this hood are endless!  The one shown is white, pink, turquoise and lime and is currently available and ready to ship.



Floral Scarf

This scarf was a custom order for an Ohio State fan and is approximately 68" long.  I love the long length on this one, as it creates more ways to wear the scarf.  One of these days, I will get around to investing in a dressform, so that I can show different examples of how to wear these kinds of items. ;)



Blossoms Slouch Hat

The Blossoms Slouch Hat (my new favorite!) is one that I made recently from a pattern by "The Hat & I" and is available here in my Etsy shop.  It can be made in child or adult sizes.

"The Wheels on the Bus..."

I found a pattern for this fun school bus scarf about a year ago.  It was written by Amanda Radar, but her website is no where to be found.  :(   This scarf is one of the most favorited things in my Etsy shop. It's a great gift idea for that favorite bus driver!

Click here to order.





Christmas Stocking Hat

I'm loving the red and white with the turquoise in this stocking hat ... the colors remind me of Dr. Seuss!  Perfect for the little ones at the holidays or as a photo prop with a Dr. Seuss book for the pictures of the little ones!  You can find it in my Etsy shop here.

Ladies Slouch Hat

I love slouch hats!  This one is a size large (fits up to 24" head circumference) and is done in a rouge color with a cream colored triple flower with a wooden button in the center.  It is available here in my Etsy shop and ready to ship.  As always, it can be custom ordered in other sizes and colors.  I've even had orders for this hat in team colors!  And, it can also be made into a beanie for a man (without the flower, of course!).  The pattern is by Pattern-Paradise and one of my absolute favorites!





Shown with boot cuffs and fingerless gloves:









S’mores Dip in a Skillet!

OMGosh!!!  I can feel the pounds going on just looking at this!  My boys would love this!

Zebra Hat

This fun zebra hat has been pretty popular in my shop.  Another went out to New York just yesterday.  I love making these cute type of hats for the babies!  This is another pattern written by Sarah Zimmerman over at Repeat Crafter Me.

This cute aviator hat was one of the hats I crocheted over the weekend and is on it's way to California!  The listing in my shop is here.  Sarah Zimmerman, of Repeat Crafter Me, wrote the adorable pattern.

Hook'em!

Recently, my friend, Jon, who is a big Longhorns' fan, challenged me to make some burnt orange wearables.  It was great fun and I thought I'd share some things here that I made.  I've put most of these in my shop, for those interested.  The links are above the photos.  ;)  *The men's hat can also be worn by the ladies as a slouch hat.
















Mug/Cup Cozy with Built-In Coaster

This mug/cup cozy is one of my favorites, as there is a coaster attached at the bottom.  It fits most standard cup sizes and there's no ring on your table.  I have this one listed in my Etsy shop here. These also make great stocking stuffers for Christmas. ;)




Christmas Stocking Hat & Pants Set

This stocking hat and matching pants set will look so cute on your little one for those holiday photos! The set listed here is green with white trim and pom pom and is available and ready to ship at the time of this post.  If you are interested in another size or color, please get your orders in by November 1, 2015.  You can custom order at my shop or send me a message and I'll be happy to help you. ;)



  

Genealogy * Another Great Passion of Mine

Another great passion of mine is tracing my family tree ... every single little twig!  I've been at it for about 23 years and it is still as addicting to me now as it was then.  Although, I don't have as much time as I'd like these days to research.  I would like to take at least one day a week for genealogy. This very old and fragile photo is from about 1904 (not in very good shape, I'm afraid) and it is the only photo I have of my Grandmother as a child and, it is also the only photo I've seen of my Great-Grandfather as a young man.  I'm curious to know, of those who have researched their family history, how far back have you gotten?  Feel free to comment below! ;)



"S'mores" Mug/Cup Cozy

I recently added mug/cup cozies to my Etsy shop and this one reminds me of S'mores, hence the title of this post!  You can find this one here.



Halloween Themed Wine Bags

Wine Bags have been a pretty popular item at Tangles, especially around the holidays.  Here are some with a Halloween theme, although I think the minions could be for any time of the year. ;)  You can find the minion wine bags here and the candy corn and orange & black bags here.  All wine bags in my Etsy Shop are currently on sale through October 2015.




Bacon Omelet Roll with Salsa Recipe - Kraft Recipes

This looks yummy!  Has anyone tried this recipe?


Christmas Stocking Hat & Matching Diaper Cover

The Christmas Season is fast approaching!  This Christmas stocking hat with pom pom will look absolutely adorable on your little one this season!  The matching diaper cover is adjustable (usually to 9 months) and has a crocheted snowflake applique on the back.  The set also makes a great photo prop for some of baby's first pictures!  You can find it here in my Etsy Shop and it can be custom ordered in other colors and sizes.  If you only need the hat, just shoot me a message and I'll be happy to help you. ;)





Crochet Apple Pouch

Christmas will be here before you know it!  This sweet apple pouch is a great gift idea for teachers. It will fit a gift card and/or small candies inside and has a bead or button closure.  The pouch could also be used as a sachet ... just fill with your favorite scent or potpourri.  I crocheted these using this pattern by Pattern-Paradise and have them in my Etsy Shop here.








Minion Inspired Hat & Scarf Set

This minion inspired hat and scarf set was a custom order that shipped yesterday.  A fun make!



"This Little Piggy Went to Market"

I just listed this hat (size 3-6 Months) in my Etsy Shop ... you can find it here.  Need another size?  Not a problem!  It can be custom ordered in whatever size you need.




I crocheted this adorable hat with a pattern by Sarah Zimmerman of Repeat Crafter Me.  You can find the pattern here.
