new hair accessories

It would be nice to wear on Easter or any spring day. :)

Loser Queen

2011-01-22T19:57:00.000-08:00

My bunnies I crocheted are taken by a book designer and they appear on the cover of Loser/Queen, a novel by Jodi Lynn Anderson. Yay!! I haven't owned this book yet, however I'm so excited to see them on Amazon.

This is an original picture that I used for the first listing on etsy.

I received an order for 30 bunnies from Simon & Schuster marketing and due to tight schedule, I ended up with these mini versions of the bunnies. They were for Loser/Queen blogger to host a giveaway. Finishing 30 bunnies in deadline was challengeable since I was so busy at work and home. :) However, it was fun to create a new item.

summer hat hair clip

2010-07-03T13:51:00.000-07:00

I crocheted this miniature summer hat (2" diameter) and attached a snap clip on the back. It would be nice to wear it for a day out on sunny summer day. ^ - ^

I don't remember the pattern exactly but the key is that you need to crochet in each back loop of stitch to look like vintage straw hat.

crocheted flower hair clip

2010-05-09T20:19:00.000-07:00

This is one of my series of flower hair clips inspired by the flower button.

At first, I crochected two different size and color of petals using 100% cotton yarn and sewed together. I like both pink and yellow colors and they look pretty on white plastic coated snap clips. Also, I love the flower button glued on the top.

I guess I will make more using different color. : ) {amigurumis}
