Christams Caps! And Christmas Happy...

Hi Everyone,

I've been working hard making caps all month.  There was lots to do and very exciting to be so popular.  :)

I just finished my last special order cap for Christmas delivery.  It was easily the cap that I have ever made.  I thought it would be hard to give up.  But, it wasn't.  Because he loved it!  And it is for his sweet lady.  He got all verclempt thinking about giving it to her on Christmas.  It felt so good to be apart of someone's Christmas joy.  I will post photos  --- After the 25th --- of course!

Yours,
Mary

Sold the Cap right off my head! Really.

Ghost Lobster Get yours while you can...

Hi Everyone,
I was showing a friend my caps.  She liked them and she really liked my Ghost Lobster Cap (the cap on my head).  I mean she really really wanted it.  What is a gal to do?  My ride home was a little chilly without my GLC.  I am happy that the guy is going back to his home to the land of Lobster = the East Coast.

I made some new cashmere caps and got them posted on Etsy and BOOM I'm in a treasury.  Take a look... and Find the cap....  Or mind the Gap...  Any who.  Click on the link and see my Sumo Cap.


Good night,
Mary

Space Happy at Park and Central in Alameda California -- oh ya my caps are there!

Hi All,
Just a quickie for tonight... I am a bit sleepy.  I want you all to know that my cashmere wool caps can be found at Space Happy a great shop right down town Alameda at Park and Central.  They have over 20 for you to choose from!

I have lots of caps to make and ship before the 16th (USPS mail by date) to make sure that the little caps make it to there new home on time.

As most of you know I am not much of a church going kind of gal.  However, I went to a Romanian Christmas all Men Choir Concert and it was amazing.  2 + hours in Romanian and it was well worth it.  The choir -- Corul Barbastesc Lauda Mileului was fantastic.  The whole evening was delightful and full of Christmas spirit.   Sweet folks that go to that church.  Just a big thank you from me.  It filled my heart with joy.
Yours,
Mary

Ear Flaps -- and wow it really is cold out side...

Hi,
Well, I have been thinking about this ear flap thing for my caps.   The problem is that they look  kinda silly and yet are warm (which out weighs silly).  I have this idea to make the "flap" part not as big -- maybe just an inch or so more would be enough.  And I think that if I made it in a dark color or a *blendie color it could work.
I have to get some orders done then I can make some prototypes.  Photos to follow...
Please feel free to make suggestions.  I was also thinking about making the flapie bits removable (velcro).  Hummmm
Yours,
Mary

* very technical term referring to a color that does not stand-out.  There for it "blends" in.  Ergo the word Blendie.

P.S. "the reference was obscure" Indian Ink by Tom Stoppard.

Baby it's cold outside.

Good Night Everyone,
I am frozen.  I would just like to say I am sorry for not making caps with ear flaps sooner.  I'm going to make them tomorrow.  My ride home was great once my ears lost all feeling from the cold.   Really, I live in California.  I am not made for this kind of cold.  I mean really cold outside.  If only Dean Martin would sing to me into staying in doors.  But, alas no Dean for me.  But earflaps -- that is going to happen.
Yours,
Mary
PS I am featured on this nifty Flicker site: Cold Iron .  It is written by Dave, the guy at Cycle City that I got my Simple City from.  He also bought an Orange Cap from me.   Dave took this great photo of my Daruma- San bag.
Anyway he is a cool guy.  Check out his site.  I am, however, still frozen.
nite,

Daruma!

Found Mag. advertisement! Yup. I'm in issue #7

Hi Everyone,
I am so glad to be busy making caps for folks near (in Alameda) and far (France).  The big news is that the issue #7 of Found Mag. is out and my ad is in it.  I could not be happier with it.  I feel like a big shot in a national zine.

Love that Ho-Down!

Good evening,
Just got back from the Ho-Down!  I was great.  I sold some caps and even more ear rings.  Mostly I got to meet nice folks and have some laughs.
It seemed like a good time was had by all.
Yours,
Mary
