Mamaw's Mad Hatter

Ever since I can remember my Mom has been crocheting blankets for every new baby in the family.  It’s been her own little tradition, a wonderful keepsake for us all.  It was extra special when it was my daughter’s turn to get one, her first granddaughter, her baby’s baby (I’m the youngest of three girls).  I think Mamaw’s hands started to madly crochet as soon as she got the phone call, “Isabella.”

It’s the blanket that lays centered in her nursery.  It’s the blanket she nestles into when napping.  It’s the blanket that covers her and Mommy during those late night feedings.  And it’s the blanket that Ella will snuggle up to as a reminder of just how much her Mamaw loves her.  It’s a pretty great blanket!

When I was eight months pregnant I ordered this darling hat from Etsy-- It was an owl crocheted hat.  The hat was seriously darling!  So adorable that I justified paying a silly amount for it.  Did I mention that it was freaking cute?  And owl?  With tassels?  Oh, and it was pink too.

Well, fast-forward to Ella being about eight weeks old.  Pregnancy brain has worn off a little:  If my mom can crochet this pretty amazing blanket, why can’t she crochet this pretty amazing hat?  “She’s pretty talented with that hook of hers, it can’t be that hard.”  I bought the pattern online and that’s how she became Ella’s personal mad-hatter.  This girl has hats for just about every outfit in her closet, and that’s A LOT.

She started with perfecting the owl hat, priorities first people.  Then quickly began perfecting all other types of hats and accessory frills.  She is just mad-hatten away, making cuteness after cuteness.

So, I had a serious talk with Ella and we decided that we can’t hoard Mamaw’s talent.  We talked to Mamaw about making and selling some of her pieces, she was so excited and loved the idea.  [Drum-Roll, Please]  We are happy to announce that Mamaw’s Mad Hatter is open for business and now taking custom orders.
