Feathers, feathers, feathers!

Lately I have been making these simply divine feather earrings made from birds my bf has hunted, old taxidermy mounts, naturally shed chicken feathers(from a friend) and store bought feathers.

This pair and others like it are listed on my Etsy page and http://www.tophatter.com

Enjoy.

Crochet slouch hats

Hello there fellow crafters!
This year for my New Years resolution I decided to teach myself a new craft. I already knew a few basic crochet stitches but I wanted to be able to read patterns and make cool hats and accessories (not your traditional grannie squares and blankets!) With the help of Lion Brand Yarn's Learn to Crochet videos and Bobwilson123's YouTube online tutorials I can now make just about anything and it was so EASY! Anyone can learn to make their very own beanie or slouch hat in just over an hour or two. With Bobwilson123's basic beanie crown video, and some creativity you can design and even sell your hats! 

 This one was created using a cross stitch pattern and is available in my Etsy shop

Happy crocheting!
