My First Post!

I started a couple of months ago making hats and homemade gifts for my family for Christmas.  I also made a couple of hats for myself and for Savannah.  Whenever we would wear the hats, I would always get compliments and people would ask if I sold the hats.  Well, now, the answer is yes!  Baby Diva/Little Lady Designs is now in business.  I'm working on getting enough inventory to open a shop on etsy and I'm almost there.

I started crocheting about 14 years ago when I was pregnant with my first baby.  I crocheted for a couple of years then never did it again.  I got busy with other crafts.  A sister in law asked for a hat and scarf for Christmas.  I found a scarf but couldn't find a hat I liked in any stores.  I wished I knew how to knit, because it seemed like all the patterns I saw were for knitting.  ONe afternoon I stumbled across a link to an etsy shop, inner hooker, for crochet patterns.  I went to the shop and I was in love with her patterns.  I bought 2 right away and made my first of many trips to Michael's for yarn.  I think I made about 10 hats for Christmas gifts.  I kept two for myself and still get compliments whenever I wear them.  I started thinking about other things that I could make as gifts too.  I found patterns for ear flap hats, cloches, baby hats, and all kinds of fun stuff.  I think I like making hats so much because I can finish one in an evening while I watch TV!

I will be selling skirts and hats for babies, toddlers, and older kids as well as women, and posting my new projects here.  I may also sell receiving blankets, rag quilts, and car seat covers as well.

Crocheted little girl cloche with pink multi-colored yarn and crocheted flower.  I will be selling this for $15 in my etsy shop soon.  It will be available in all different sizes and colors.

I will be taking custom orders for each hat or skirt design, as well as receiving blankets and car seat covers I sell.  If you see something you like but don't like the color or fabric, email me and we can figure  something out that you will love!
