The new toy store in Jackson, WY, is now selling Mountain Soleil hats. Go check them out!
Teton Toys is located on 36 E. Broadway, above Jackson Bootlegger, beside Gifts of the Earth. The big grand opening is scheduled for May 1, but they are open now. The hours are 9 am - 7 pm everyday. They have a great play area, too, and both my kids loved it!

So, there are now 3 places to buy my hats: Teton Toys, Paper and Grace, and my Etsy shop! All 3 places have the same retail prices, just different selections since they are one of a kind.

A little bit girlie

When I first started making hats, it seemed the boy hats were the most popular and the ones I made the most of. Well, after some many requests for more "girlie" ones, I branched out and they are taking off! Thought I'd share a few (plus there are more in older posts).
This first one is for an almost 4 year old who LOVES barbie.

After my daughter saw me making all these new ones, she informed that she wanted something sparkly, plus her favorite color is blue.

And a few more that turned out pretty cute...

Spring has sprung???

Well, I doubt Spring is here in Jackson. We usually don't see that until June! But, the weather has been teasing us with some warmer temperatures. They plowed off the soccer fields and we took full advantage of a beautiful day!

Cute Little monsters

I've been so busy making hats and scarves the past few months that I haven't been sewing much else. I got invited to a baby shower this weekend, but I already gave my friend a hat and scarf! She had her little boy a month ago and has an older boy, so what do you get someone that probably has all she needs? I made some cute burp rags out of cloth diapers. If you haven't used this type yet, they are the best. Someone gave me some and they are super absorbant and a little bigger than a regular cloth - perfect! I actually love to make bias tape, but I'm not so great at putting it on, so if anyone has any pointers, let me know! Then I made the Little Monster book ends. I know she's putting some shelves in his room, so I thought this would be perfect. I got the pattern from Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing for Baby. I've been wanting to try them out since I got the book. Lotta stenciled on the faces, but putting ink or paint on my nicely sewn project kind of scared me. I'm much more comfortable with applique! At least if I mess up I just have to take it apart! It was fun to start working on something else. Now I just need to finish the quilt I started before Christmas for my little boy!
