Ponytail Cap Warmer, $35 each
Made to order in nearly any color requested, payment due at time of order.

I was approached at the 2020 holiday bazaar by Jennifer Lafollette, who owns Royal Fly Fishing in West Linn, to create a custom project- a warm knit hat that could be used to accommodate a baseball cap underneath and a ponytail popping through the hole in the back, for chilly mornings out on the river fly fishing! The hat needed to have a hole in the back by the brim. Jen said that she hadn't been able to find anything like this anywhere! So, I made a prototype, Jen helped me with some adjustments, and we came up with this! The hat can be worn with or without a baseball cap underneath. Having a hole in the back/ bottom is nice so that you don't need to have a very high ponytail on top of your head. It's great for outdoor activities in the cold.

I have been making these ponytail cap warmers in different colors and it's been a blast. I LOVE custom projects!

DM or email me at [email protected] if you would like to order one! I accept Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, or cash.

New to the shop, wood block Santa ornaments! I have been wanting to paint more and this is a great excuse to make something special. This was a fun collab project with my husband, the Wonderful and Wubulous Mysterious Mister Reese. These Santas were hand carved by him and painted by me.

Each Santa is $20 and stands 4" tall. DM or email me at [email protected] to place your order! We accept PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, or cash.

Loving these pom hats SO much! I'm working on some orders placed in the last few weeks. I have room to make a few more customs before Christmas. I have an assortment of pom poms to choose, as they are removable.

Message me for already made inventory or custom color inquiries.

I have 2 sizes available:
THE LOFT (Large, has a large thick rolled brim for extra warmth around ears) $45
THE SNOO (Medium, thinner brim, will still fit most people) $40
Pony Prestige 5000 ("Snoo" base with hole at the top and no pom pom, to put a ponytail through) $38

My first holiday bazaar was exhausting but fun indeed! Definitely learned a lot and looking forward to doing another in the (distant) future. 🀩

If you are new to this page, welcome! I am still taking a limited amount of custom orders, so if you would like a crocheted critter or a special hat color combo please DM/ email me.

It was much of a whirlwind for me to take photos but thank you to those who did! .janet23was a champ at helping me (wo)man the booth πŸ’› and it was great having my friends and coworkers come out to support me, definitely felt awesome.

Want to wear a hat but also want to keep your hair up? DM me for a custom Pony Prestige 5000 🀣 constructed out of the same yarn as one of my bulky pom pom hats, but with a hole left at the top for you to pull your ponytail through!

22/11/2020

Update 11/24: 2 light grey and 1 dark grey available. Let me know if you'd like to order a custom color!

Deliciously soft and squishy, these bulky hats are the perfect cold weather accessory. Did you know that pom poms were added to Sailors hats so that they didn't bump their head on the ceiling of the ship when waters got rough? Who knows how true that is, but I love that these fluffy additions may have served as a protection element!

20% wool and 80% acrylic means added warmth AND washability! The pom pom is on am elastic that is attached to a button on the inside of the hat, so it is removable for washing if you wish.

I only have a couple of these hats in stock, but if they sell I plan on making more. Each hat is $40. DM or email me at [email protected] to place your order!

Hey friends! A quick shop update~

I just updated my mask inventory on Etsy to reflect what I currently have. I had to raise my prices if you check out through Etsy to compensate for their fees, but they are still $10 if you contact me directly.

Also, I have added quick adjustment toggles to all masks! In my experience and with the feedback of others, they are much easier to use, but they are removable if you prefer to tie bows.

Just got my first Etsy review! πŸ₯³

I LOVE hearing customer feedback! Jocelyn got her mask last week and has already taught me another way to tie the ties.

"I got it and I love it! I've developed a method of tying it that I really like. I tie the top two to each other and let that sit over my ears and then I loop one of the bottom two before tying. Keeps the mask on and sitting nicely around my chin. Plus no pull on my neck. It takes a bit longer to tie the ties, but I find that the mask is more comfortable to wear when I have more control over the fit."

Hi friends! I officially launched my Etsy shop. πŸ₯³πŸ°πŸ§

I found this process to be intimidating and a little overwhelming but I think my one listing so far looks alright. I've had lots of people ask for a shop link so here it is! I'll add more items soon.

For those of you who frequently shop or sell things on Etsy, I would appreciate any feedback! I think at this point I should write some more in the product descriptions, but I haven't had the time to do it just yet.

Check out my little turtle friends! They each have their own personality. 🐒

Lizzie is all about the pink. She tries her best every day, and just keeps swimming along. Nothing can keep her down! πŸ’Ÿ

Irma is calm and cool in her purple shell. She is inquisitive by nature and has a very unique perspective on the world. πŸ’œ

Einstein is almost too big for his green shell. He is very intelligent and is always thinking, which is probably why his head is so big. πŸ’š

Turtles are $16- DM or email me to place your order [email protected] πŸ“§
