Beanies Round 3 ... these are very ME

Tie-dye makes me happy, it's vibrance boosts energy and expresses a love of color ("What Not To Wear", I am so glad the show went into their summer break!)

I called the 2nd one "Purple Fae".

Purple combined with green is just who I am, Purple Sage, and I am intrigued by fairie myths and folklore.

Happy Shopping & Saving:)

At the mercy of a low internet connection

Yesterday the listing fell flat because at a certain point in the evening my pc refused to move, or what I suspect, our bandwidth was in the basement.

Alas, the beanie round #3 had to be postponed.

Today I am showing the rustic urban beanie and a relisted beanie in alpaca blend.

As you can tell, the colors have been toned down to almost monochromatic.

Colors are still going strong...Round 2 of beanies week

Hi there, we're going into round 2 and I still have a lot of fun with bright colors...check out the 80s vibes beanie.

The paprika hat seems so much more toned down next to it, but is a beautiful strong red, too.

Cheerio, gotta run:)

Summer Fun Skullcap Beanies Week...I challenge myself to list 2 every day during the whole week

I have had many unusual or even weird yarns in my stash, some bright, some fuzzy, some crazy and I wondered what was I thinking when I picked them up at the store.

So, for many months I kept looking at these yarns and tried to come up with a way to use them.

They didn't seem quite right for my tam sized beanies.

Until I played around with them and crocheted a smaller beanie. And voila, these novelty and insanely bright yarns came together for a funky young look beanie.

Remember: young at heart or young of years, there is NO difference, dare to be you:)

Variety is the spice of life

Some projects will never compensate the time invested, but they are reason for new zest and picking one's mind.

This patchwork crochet purse has been my latest project outside of my hats mania (I make hats daily) and I couldn't wait to see how my ideas came to life, even though there will always be some improvisation because some construction ways won't work and my engineering mind has to become creative and find other solutions.

If you like it you can see more pictures and read the details here, and buy if you want it, too:)

Happy weekend to all the kind people out there.

(As it is hooooot, life just moves in a slower pace and blog updates are more scarce:)

From Zen to Biz

Interrupting my trend of serenity and nature subjects by a shameless self-promotion post.

Finally, after mulling over a new custom design tam idea in my head for weeks, I actually set down and created 3 new "custom color tam" listings in different sizes on Purple Sage Designz.
