Finding Nemo Babies

I received the most adorable photos from a happy GouldThreads customer the other day and I just had to share them (with permission of course)  A couple of months ago I was challenged to create a Finding Nemo cocoon set for a newborn and a Dory hat for the baby's big sister (see blog post here ). It was fun coming up with a pattern for both pieces and I was pleased with the results.  As cute as the finished items were, they are even sweeter when being modeled by some adorable children.  Take a look. 

Aren't they adorable?  Thanks Michele for sharing your photos with us! 

As I near the end of my own pregnancy I am no longer taking new orders at this time.  However, I do have a number of pre-made items on my Etsy shop that are ready to ship.  Please take a minute to check them out. 

And remember to follow me on facebook and on Pinterest :)

Minion Inspired Hat

Its been far too long since I've posted on here.  Summer has been busy for my family as I'm sure it has been for yours.  But now its time to start gearing up for fall.  Its time for back to school, cooler weather, and HATS!  

If you have a child, friend, coworker, or anyone in your life who loves the movie "Despicable Me," you are going to love my newest creation:  A Minion Hat!!!!  I was so excited when I received this order.   This particular customer requested a 2-eyed minion although I could certainly make a 1-eyed minion as well. 

After viewing various photos of minions I decided to base my hat on the minion in the foreground of this photo.  I love his little smirk!

I'm so pleased with how he turned out, I think the resemblance is uncanny :)  Isn't he adorable?  I think this would make an adorable Halloween costume as well- just add a yellow shirt and denim overalls.  I'm thinking about making one of these for my son (and maybe even my daughter)

As always thanks for stopping by!  If you would like to place a custom order of your own please email me at gould.threads@yahoo.com or find me on facebook.  You can also find me on Pinterest :)

Don't forget that GouldThreads will only be accepting orders for a few more weeks before starting a maternity leave in preparation for baby #3 (in 3 years, no wonder I feel so tired all the time!)
