Happy 1st Birthday Nolan

My son turned 1 last week.  I can't believe how quickly his first year when!  We celebrated with a small family party in our home this past weekend.  We had a Sock Monkey theme which was a lot of fun! 

 

Here are some photos that I took of my birthday boy

March Madness

Today is the first day of March Madness!  I had planned on making some super cute basketball hats but just didn't have the time.  But if you are an Ohio State fan I have the perfect hat for you!

My aunt requested an Ohio State Buckeye hat for my cousin who is due with her first baby this spring.  To be perfectly honest I am not a sports fan so I didn't even know what an Ohio State Buckeye was at first! 

However, I am a fan of adorable kids in adorable hats and I think this one turned out pretty well.  I can't wait to see pictures of my newest little cousin in his Buckeye hat! 

 

 

March isn't just for basketball though.  Easter is just around the corner and if you life in the north east like I do its likely to be a chilly one!  I still have a few pre-made Easter hats on sale and ready to ship.  Check them out on my etsy site

Giraffe Hat

Hi Friends.  I just realized that I haven't posted for a while.  Things have been pretty crazy for our family this month so I'm going to keep this one short. 

My beautiful cousin recently had a gender reveal baby shower.  It was the first I have been to and it was so fun!   However, it was a challenge to decide what to make for her.  I finally settled on a little giraffe hat.  I was pretty happy with how it turned out.  My mom, sisters, and I put the hat in an adorable brown Thirty-One bag and added all sorts of fun baby necessities.  We even found a super cute giraffe toy to go with the theme.  It was a lot of fun.  I can't wait to see pictures of this new little guy in his GouldThreads gear. 

Perfect for a little lady or little fellow!

but let us remember the real reason we celebrate the Easter season.

Happy Easter Everyone!

 

 

One Angry Hat!

Recently one of my best friends called me up with a special request.  She wanted me to make a Piranha hat for her friend's baby shower.  Now that might sound strange to most people, but I couldn't think of a more fitting baby gift for her to give.  You see my friend and the mother-to-be are both players on the Pittsburgh Piranha's Ice Hockey team.

 

 

So what exactly does a Piranha look like? 

Here is a close up of the team mascot:

And here is my version of a Piranha hat

 

 

Now that is what I call one angry fish! 

 

 

 

I would like to extend a warm welcome to the soon to be mother and newest little piranha fan!

which came first?

Which came first the chicken or the egg?  In my case it was the egg!  This egg to be exact

While playing "kitchen" with my daughter last week this egg caught my eye.  I had visions of cute little chicks peeking out from their shells.  Suddenly I had an idea for a new hat. 

Isn't he adorable!!!!!

 

Then I decided to add a little bow for a girlie little peep.

 She is pretty sweet too :)

 

my daughter agreed to model for me! 

 

The hat can also be made without the little wings (I personally prefer it with wings)

 

 

 

This little guy is available and ready to ship in size 1-3T.  If you would like to buy him (or her) in another size simly place a custom order:
