Handmade Beanies Galore!

I love handmade things. Of course being a baby and family photographer I get to really enjoy handmade beanies and props. Every time I see something that grabs my interest all I can think about is how I can use it as a prop in a photo session.

As there are no local suppliers of handmade beanies I learnt to crochet them for myself. Now I am a crochet junkie. I just love it. I spend ages browsing through patterns to find ones I just have to make. I have gathered so much yarn that I'm not buying anymore until it is all finished!

So many of my clients have asked where I get my beanies and tell me that they cannot find anywhere local to buy them. So... I have partnered with a good friend of mine, Kay-leigh, and we have started a little business making and selling handmade crocheted items.

Introducing...

We have literally dozens of designs between the two of us and are furiously crocheting beanies, character beanies, head bands, ear warmers, flowers, jewellery and even giant doily rugs. Some of the patterns are designs by Alli Hyer, some are our own and some are patterns we have stumbled across.

This rug is 145cm in diametre and is made from 100% cotton. It is available for order! Custom sizes are also available and are made to order.

Here is our catalogue so far. Unfortunately we don't have photos of all the designs available as they were sold before we could photograph them! We'll post photos as soon as we can.

Not all beanies come standard with flowers. The flowers are on buttons and can be removed or changed if you like. You can purchase several flowers for one beanie. Please note the comments under each beanie as to whether the flower is included or not.

Boys are just different!

Boys are definitely just different! 
I have two daughters. Lovely, sweet, pink, gentle girls. I have two brothers but despite my younger brother being 24 years younger than I am I only see him once or twice a year as my family lives in South Africa. So I have little experience of the differentness of boys.

My only real experience is gained from my dog, Grizzly Wingnut Mutt. Yes you read correctly, Grizzly Wingnut Mutt. He got the Grizzly from my father-in-law who said he looked like a miniature grizzly bear when I found him abandoned on the side of the road. He was probably a week old, was covered in over 100 ticks, had a broken tail and weighed 500g! The Wingnut comes from his large ears that stick out of the side of his head and make him look like a wingnut especially when we take him to be shorn in summer.

So back to the point of this post. I got home yesterday afternoon and opened the gate to drive in. When I closed the gate a few moments later all my dogs were inside and excited to see me. A little while later I opened the gate again to let my house help out and it was open for a few minutes. Once I said goodbye to her I saw one of the dogs just outside the gate and I let her back in, closed the gate and then walked back towards the house when I came across THIS:

Question number one: What the heck is that? Ok I recognised it after a moment as the shin and hoof of a cow.
Question number two: Where the heck did he get THAT? It could only have been on our pavement and he found it in the 2 minutes he was outside sniffing around.
Question number three: What on earth prompted someone to feel the need to leave a COW'S LEG on my pavement???

Whenever I called Grizzly's name he would suddenly stop chewing the leg, move slightly away from it and look at me and it as if to say, "I don't know what that is or how it got near me! I'm innocent!'

So now why do I say boys are different? Whenever I open the gate all the dogs have to run onto the pavement and have a sniff around. So both female dogs went out with him but it was he who brought the leg inside and not the girls!

Boys will be boys!!!
