A few more hats

Well Hello there, blog! Sorry it's been so long. Life sure gets in the way sometimes.

Without further yaddah-yaddah, Let's get down to the bottom line of the blog:

Hats! 1000 of them need to be made. I set a goal, I intend to keep it.

You fellow crafters- been to Craftsy? Jinkies. Just what I needed- another page to look after. I spent the last hour trying to link everything together. Pinterest, Ravelry, Twitter, Facebook, and - oh yeah! My blog!

Blue and white wool bomber style hat.  This one got sent to an old college friend that lives back in Arkansas.

                                             Black and grey wool men's hat. It went to AK as well.

My 'Mossy' hat pattern in a cranberry red. I added the classy flower clip for some Sass. LOVE it.

And a final shot of all three before they went into the mailer. 

My new business name is Antt Farm Textiles for anyone that follows me around. I've been sewing quite a bit making quilts and scrub hats. I've also dabbled in vintage jewelry on Etsy to make a few extra dollars here and there. This economy demands diversification of income. Hope all of you are well and are still chasing your dreams. Never give up!

NEVER give up. Ever.

What a wonderful story.

And we're back

I'm glad to be getting back to the blog. Hats are still being made, just in a new location. The two youngest kids and I moved into town (just a few miles away) in order to have a little better living space. I started working full-time, took a break from college to get the two oldest graduated from High School. Hey, a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. 

In the meantime, here are a few additions to the slowly growing hat pile. I need to re-count because I'm pretty sure I haven't even broke 100 yet. 

This one is crocheted wool I whipped up to show off that pretty yarn and display the fabric flowers I've been making the last few months. 

                                

                                  Emily decided I needed a different look.  

                                        This hat is a wool blend and is my infamous "Vicki" pattern.

                                              This is a handspun I bought for my shop. It is soft!!

     

                                                 And another knit just using a single cable stitch up the side.

And for now, that is all I have to show. More hats are on the sticks. Stick around. I'll get to that 1000 mark sooner or later...
