she's positive too...
cole's started a new "phase" the last few days.
... but i'm fairly certain it won't involve copying this.
silly boy!
the winter whirl (the annual clintonville winter festivities) was this weekend. our neighbor suggested i reserve a table at the craft and vendor fair for my hats. so i did. it didn't cost much, so if only one hat was sold, i'd get my investment back.
well, i DID sell one. i sold one off the table and took 5 or 6 orders for sock monkey hats. who'd have thought?? it went better than i thought- and i'm going to be b-u-s-y the next few days, filling orders. but it's all good. i made a little profit on it, so i'm happy. out of all the designs i've done, i never thought the sock monkey hat would be the winner. it's not a new idea- you can find sock monkey-inspired hats other places, but i guess there's no suppliers around our little town to compete with. the majority of my orders are for adults. middle-aged adults. blame it on the nostalgia. (i think it's cute, for the record!)
please excuse the idiotic grin- the model has no clue how to pose for the camera. :)
(top view... some people wanted a longer 'do for the "hair", others wanted the classic pom-pom)

Hi. Hope you don't mind me popping in. I hop over from Melissa's blog every once in awhile. I thought I should leave a comment so it doesn't feel like I'm just lurking.
LOVE the hat!! I love sock monkeys and have thought about making the monkey itself.
Seeing your son with 3 pacifiers made me remember when my daughter was still little and her thing for awhile was to have 2 pacifiers in her mouth. :)
Hope all ends well with the tests results! *hugs* from afar
I know from experience that waiting is the hardest part--even harder than reality, because you can deal with reality. Waiting is just torture in limbo land! We're thinking of you especially now.
neisha: i don't mind you popping in- great to "meet" you!! kids have the funniest phases, don't they? and thanks for the hug- consider it reciprocated :)
bonita: i've no doubt you understand... :) thanks for the support! now that we know everything's ok for now, it's a huge relief!
