Owls Hats.

Here is the latest project I've been working on. It's for my friend's daughters, and it just so happens that their last name means OWL. What better item to make for them for Christmas than these?

Connecticut.

My heart is heavy today after watching hours of coverage of the massacre in Connecticut. You never know when your life will be rocked with tragedy, and I am painfully saddened for these families. Christmas is just around the corner, and as a parent I imagine the gifts are all purchased, the tree is up and decorated, the stockings are hung awaiting Christmas morning treats, and now they will all just represent what never will be. It's heartbreaking, to say the least. There aren't definitive words for how sad and horrible something like this is.

I am often times stricken with panic over the "what-ifs" about my family and our future, but I thank GOD today that we are healthy and alive and that no matter how many gifts are under our tree there is love in our hearts. I am so very sorry for these losses.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear Hat.

This was a custom order for an old friend. I'll post pics of the bambino that it's for as soon as I can! I have a strong feeling it's going to be the cutest ever.

Fingerless Mitts - Beanie with interchangeable flowers.

I'm putting the hooks down and coming up for air today. Little One #1 has dance class today, and I've completed, including gift wrap, one really cute project and started countless more. I've been working in a wave so I don't get too obsessed or bored with any one thing. It gets hard when you're making the same thing repeatedly, so I can't wait to post some new patterns after the holidays are over! Here's the latest set that I think is SUPER adorable. It's for a little girl, so the colors are fun and bold. I'll be making the mitts for myself in a cozy gray and adding a little button. :) I modified the pattern from a basic one to cinch the arm a little so it's not too boxy. I'm calling the color pattern Kyra after the girl it's for! -xoxo

Mayor. Chief Magistrate.

Can this be my new closet?

I became the mayor of the fabric store on Foursquare today. I was pretty proud. If only they had some sort of parade for me or something, that would be cool. I have so many projects that I need to ship next week that I'm in that "I'm so busy that it's paralyzing" mentality and it's hard to dive into any one thing. My entire house is covered in yarn, the dishes aren't done today and every spare second that I have I've been plotting and planning upcoming pieces. I've never been busier in my life, and I'm pretty excited about that. I get to spend every waking moment with my little girls and when they sleep I can catch up on things that give me purpose outside of just being a mommy and a wife. I can do it all! xoxo

Little ones in Little Wing.

The best part about making adorable items for babies and children is when my customers send photos of their little ones wearing Little Wing items! Here are some recent ones. How cute are these little dolls??

 

 

 

Now We're Talking!

I'm so excited that our stationary, stickers and business cards came today! I can't wait to start shipping orders off with a little bit of our branding on them. There's nothing like a personal touch!

Operation: Christmas Gift Set.

The tree is all trimmed, the stockings have been hung (with care) and I'm settling in for the night to create a santa hat and diaper cover at the request of a facebook friend. I just got the softest, snuggliest white yarn to make the trim and I can't wait to see the final result. I'll update with photos when it's all done! Don't you just love the holidays?? My entire house smells like cider and pine. If only it was cold outside. I miss the snowy wind whistling in my window and the thought of snuggling deep in my down comforter. It's just not quite the same. Even in this warm air, this is the happiest time of the year...

Our elf on the shelf hasn't been too creative lately, so I'm off to create this gift set in the hopes of finishing early enough to put her somewhere interesting. This morning she was pretty boring on top of the fridge. xoxo

Update:

Here's the finished set! It's for a baby Christmas shoot so I am super excited to see the pics.

We're getting our Christmas tree today, and sharing the holidays with my girls is my favorite time of year! Happy Holidays! And happy pinning and crocheting too.

Little Wing Little Blog

With all the interest in our new facebook page, I am pleased to launch the Little Wing Little Blog! I'll post projects here, and other things too lengthy for facebook updates. I am slightly overwhelmed at the positive reaction and interest in Little Wing and I am very optimistic and delighted about the future! I love what I do, and I'm so blessed to be able to turn a hobby into something I've shared with you! I get so excited when you send me photos of your little ones in Little Wing, and I pour my heart into each item that I make.

Will all the new custom orders being filled, I've been mastering lots of new patterns, but there is a lot more to come from Little Wing! I'm rolling out a new signature line in 2013, with really beautiful colors and textures. You won't want to miss it! xoxo
