I found some awesome hat patterns when trying to make a nice fitted hat but this one had to be my favorite when I saw how it came out. It is a super snug perfect fit. It has holes so it is suffocatingly warm either. It is a perfect fall hat to transition into the colder temps of winter. It is about 7 inches long from top to bottom with a scalloped edge.
This handmade hat was made with tons of love. It is machine washable on the hand wash or gentle cycle. Please lay flat to dry!
Size: Small-Medium Adult Female
Color: Light Green
Material: 100% Acrylic
Washing Instructions: Machine Washable (be gentle!), Lay flat to dry

I have been super busy with my schoolwork and other life things. I am still eating gluten free and feeling really pretty wonderful. I have my bad days, but my life used to only consist of bad days, so I am overjoyed at how I am feeling now! It’s been almost a year of this steady almost normal person life. Cross my fingers, I just want to keep going forward like this! So that’s the life update 
Craft update:
I do have some more inventory to post, so I will work on getting some of that done very soon. Also, since it is getting cold again I am re-inspired to crochet more awesome wears. I have found that summer just isn’t as inspiring of a time to crochet. I need the cold weather to get cozy underneath whatever I am working on.
Jewelry is a whole different story and I will resume that as soon as I have some free time as well. I am very inspired to create new things, I have so many ideas floating around my head, I just need to get them into reality! I am trying to find that gentle balance between, classes, homework, housework, couponing, doctor appointments, and creative outlets. So far, I have only incorporated a few of that list into my life and am trying to find a way to have it all.
To anyone who reads this, thank you a thousand times for caring about me I truly Love you!

Handmade Brown Glass Beaded Stretchy Bracelet. This one measures almost 7 inches around. Fits perfectly on my wrist. I used some gorgeous brown glass beads with brown and white glass seed beads between them. It is a little bit smaller than the pink stretchy one listed here, just for comparison. This one is also made on an elastic cord so it will fit a variety of wrist sizes. Made with Love <3.

So my Mom found a bunch of my Great-Grandmother’s or Grandmothers (not sure which) broken jewelry to take apart and make into new creations. I am super excited to upcycle them into incredible pieces. It remains to be seen if I will be able to part with them, hahaha. Here is a picture of some of the new parts I get to work with The white necklace in the second picture I am going to basically take apart to put it back together almost exactly as pictured, I may or may not put my own twist on it, but it is so gorgeous I can’t wait to wear it out! So here is the before shot….will post the “afters” as they are executed.
The picture below is from my photography project – project 365 (take a picture every day for a year)….If you want to see any of the other project pictures, they live at this link: http://public.fotki.com/aameri/my-albums/photo-projects/project-365/?view=roll

This necklace has blue translucent glass beads and silver on a simple silver chain with a rhinestone pendant that I think perfectly completments the other accents. End to end this necklae is 18 inches, with an additional 3 inches of adjustable chain by the clasp. It has a lobster claw closure.
I swear as I keep making them, I keep trying to find excuses to keep them. I know that I can’t keep all the jewelry I make or there will be a serious overflow issue in my house. I just end up loving them all so much. So you can be assured that anything I make it made with healthy doses of love .
25% of the proceeds of this sale will go to Lymenaide!!
Size: approximately 18 inches with 3 extra inches of adjustable chain
Color: Silver and Blue
Material: Metal
