What's been keeping me busy...

Phew! I've been busy! Ok, Busy with a CAPITAL B!
The last sale went over great and I've been working on the giveaway beanies!

I just wanted to come up for air long enough to show a few of the things I've been busy with.

I could totally insert pics of my three hellion beautiful daughters right here, because God knows they don't let me slow down!

However, here are a few of my recent crafts...

Purple Gingham Flower Clip (attached to alligator clip)

Mini Pink & White Korker Clip (also attached to alligator clip)

"Lil Bella" in Brown & Light Pink
These next beanies will be heading to Germany!

"Lil Bella"
Cream & Purple (this looks even better in person)

"Faded Denim" - Original Newsboy Beanie

In honor of my newly graduated CHP officer brother, I made the black & white beanie for his roommate's boys.

This is a close up of "The Hamptons" beanie

"The Hamptons" Original Newsboy beanie
I don't know why I call it that. I've never been... to the Hamptons, that is.
I have been to the beach a lot and that's what these colors remind me of... summer.


"Granny Stitch" Newsboy in sage. This beanie was
fully customized per customers specific requests!

These next two were ordered by my very first "Stella B Designs" customer on Etsy.
She's ordered them for a set of twins that are due soon!
They will also be army "brats".
(I hope you know I use that term very affectionately!)

Custome Beanie Giveaway Winner

Ok, first of all... can I just say how hard it was for me to limit the giveaway to just ONE winner?!
Some of your comments and critiques were so nice that I just wanted to start handing them out like candy to kids! (Unfortunately, I cannot afford to do that right now.)

However, I *did* decide to pick TWO winners!
So here they are...
(chosen randomly on random.org)

Nancy Spangler Culp
& Covey Denton!!!

Yay you!
Nancy and Covey, you can message me on Facebook, Etsy or email me at stellabdesigns@yahoo.com and I'll get your beanie info there!

Ok, dry up the tears... take a deep breathe... suck it up, ya big bay-by!
(I'm totally consoling myself, btw)

For the rest of ya... the $10 beanie sale is continuing through tonight AND, because I feel SO BAD about only being able to give away a couple, you can totally have free shipping through Friday if you mention "suckitupfs" with your order!

Also, I believe I forgot to blog about the loverly lady that is spotlighting my beanies on her website! Melissa is giving away TWO MORE of my beanies and HER giveaway is active until this Friday! YAY! More free CUSTOM, AWESOME, ADORABLE beanies for you! That's 4 in total! See, I'm just a big softy! You should definitely go see her at a little etsy love (Melissa does this awesome craft with paper cutting! Sooo cute and intricate!)

Be on the lookout for more giveaways soon! I have so much fun doing them that I'm definitely going to keep them coming!

Focus Group (Crochet Halter Top)

I'm needing some opinions! Do you have one? Do you have many?

Do you have any that can be directed towards my newest crocheted goody?

I thought this lil crocheted diddy was so cute I had to make one for Emma. I'm thinking about selling them on Etsy and wanted to get some opinions before I did. The one pictured is made from Caron Simply Soft Eco yarn (very soft, lots of color selection). I'm working on one as a gift in the Sugar n Cream cotton yarn and it's turning out very cute, as well! I'm thinking they'll come in sizes ranging from 12 months through 5T. Of course the colors are fully customizable!

So, if you'll be so kind, I'd love for you to let me know if this piece strikes you as "fabulously sassy", "no way, too granny" or "eh, I can take it or leave it"!

She's giving a "sneak peek" pose!

Although I believe it's just meant to tie up top and leave the back mostly open, I wove in the ends in a shoelace-type tie and it worked out really well!
