My daughter Kaliya is constantly asking if she can model for me, so here she is...

This is the latest hat I made to keep her precious ears warm.

Wrap You in my LOVE...

A few months a go I made a crib-sized quilt for my baby niece. My daughter, who is five, would get up every morning and wrap herself in it, and say "mine" with a little smile. So, I decided to work on a quilt for her Christmas present. I was up many a late night, and enjoyed every moment of making it. And she loves it so much!

I used a wool blend felt for the flower appliques...

Mash (little headed ladies and more...)

Dang! It has been a minute since I have sat my butt down here at the computer to write a CraftMobb post. My apologies! Chrismas had me crazy, I was doin' craft shows, and making presents, working my 40 hr a week desk job, and being a mommy and daddy to my 5 year old. WHEW!

These are a few of the items I made over the last month...

This hood is 100% wool! It's made from soft delicious (and pricey) yarn that I purchased at "Fancy Tiger", our premiere indie craft store here in Denver.

These hats are made with doubled yarn, and water felted flowers, and are available at a local beauty salon called "Bliss".

Last I checked they were still available. My friend who works there says that they are too big for most of the women who try them on. I guess a lot of little headed ladies are clients there.

If they don't sell at the salon soon, I will put them in my esty store :)~xoxi

Knit-alicious!

It's official I am a knit-aholic. I have been having so much fun with my new medium.I have even learned to cable knit:) Scarf lette's are wonderful, they can have so much flavor, and yet they don't take a year to finish. This is the one with the cable, is made with a wool blend, and has a crocheted ruffle, and a gorgeous water felted flower


The next one is my first scarflette, the one from an earlier post. It has a leather flower accent.



And introducing...the Cowl Hood Scarf!
This one is soo versitile, it can be pulled down over the tops of the shoulders, and makes a gorgeous cowl.

This pomegranate tickled my taste buds...

My crafty sista, Faatma recently taught me how to knit. Once upon a time, long long ago, I taught her to crochet, and she returned the favor. I was a crochet snob, and didn't want to learn. I am fast and furious with a crochet needle, so much so that I actually injured my wrist. I was desperate for some fiber craft, and thought that knitting wouldn't impact my wrist in the same way that crochet does.

But surprise- surprise, I really dig it. If the yarn is chunky and the needles are fat, I can move a project along at enjoyable pace. So, lo and behold...

The Scarflette, with a leather flower accent.

I just put in my etsy shop...
