So, I know I haven’t posted in awhile…the Bender hats have been keeping me super-busy, and so has preparing for Wawa’s Spring Byhand Festival. 

This year I created some cotton summer hats with a hippie flair!  Some are accented with peace signs, crocheted hemp leaves, and fabric yoyos made from vintage 1960’s fabric I’ve had kicking around for a bit.  I also made some hemp jewelry, and some charm bracelets to compliment my groovy hats, and purses.  I had to switch gears, as I was developing some pain in my wrists from all the Bender crocheting!  I’ll be listing some of my new creations in my Etsy shop shortly.

I also got to unveil my new cheewawamomma banner!  I just love it so much.  Special thanks to Jon Jarro for designing my logo.  Smooches!

Enjoy the pictures, and I will post again soon.  Happy Spring everyone!

Well, the Byhand Festival in Wawa was a smashing success!  My creations were well-received, and I had a ball talking to so many great people.  Now I’m working on some of my orders, but for now, enjoy the pics and I’ll post some more of my adventures in crochet and crafting soon.

Special thanks to a lovely girl named Tara who bought one of my hats.  She looked so smashing in it, I had to take a picture!  Isn’t she gorgeous?

Back again soon!
