Custom Hats!


Do you have a new grand*baby on the way or have your own adorable child you want a custom made hat for??  Have an awesome idea or just want to match the baby's nursery colors??  For any reason.... if you want a custom hat made, just send me a message with your ideas, colors, themes or anything else you'd like to mention.  The age of the child is good to help size the hat, but the measurements of the noggin is even better!!!  Shoot me a message through my facebook page:  A.Crochet's Facebook page  Or send me an email to Kre8kolor@aol.com and put 'Custom Hat' in the subject line.  

We'll work out all the details together and make you an adorable, funky, cute, custom hat!! 
Yay - hats!!

4th of July @ Inwood, Iowa

I was invited and attended the 4th of July Celebration in Inwood, Iowa and boy was it a beautiful day!!  With a great booth location..... always in the shade, slight breeze, near playground (for my boys) and restrooms, plus great visibility ~ it was an enjoyable day to sit, sell and celebrate this Independence Day!  Clowns, tractors, candy, yummy apple pie made by someone's grandma..... it was a wonderful day and I'm so glad I went.

It just so happens I was asked to have a booth at a new craft store being built in Rock Valley, Iowa.  Flattered and extremely excited ~ I'll sit down with my accountant (my husband) and see what the numbers say and if it makes sense for us to do this.  What a nice, big step.... hopefully soon, I'll be spreading the word of our debut booth in an actual store.  We'll see how things go!!


Here are a few pictures of my products and displays.



Please excuse the crass plastic tub - it's holding the pacifier clips I am selling.  I will find some creative way to make it more fun & presentable before the next craft show I have.  

Aren't you in love with my embroidered table cloths??  My lovely, sweet grandma made those for me!  She's such a big support, I don't know what I'd do without her.

Siouxland Artisans Festival

Had a great day at the first ever Siouxland Artisan Festival!!  Heather did a great job putting it on and it was a beautiful day (other than a horrific, gusting wind).  I tied down my canopy to my van and then I KNEW I was safe and wouldn't fly away with my goodies!!

Attendance was a bit small but for a first time event, not too shabby!!  Our spot was conveniently located near the food, restrooms and music so I was fully entertained and taken care of all day!!  Due to my (6 year old) help for the day, I had done more work to entertain him than taking pictures of my products or booths.  Unfortunately I have no pic's from that day.  Bummer.

I'm thankful to be invited and have went to the first ever Siouxland Artisans Showcase and will go to it every year that Heather plans on putting it on!  Had a great time, hiccups and all!!
