Month: December 2019

Bunny was feeling very poorly last week and went into the ER again. I was afraid this would be our last Christmas together, so I made us two tiny Santa hats for a photo. She had been wanting to just be in her bed all day with zero energy. I felt bad even bothering her for this, but it only took a few minutes so I hope she doesn’t hate me forever. I ended up pinning both of them to my head after letting her go back to sleep. You could attach them to hair clips or a head band, but I think just using bobby pins makes them really versatile. Now I can thread a loop through them and put them on my Christmas tree or a wreath! We have some on our mantel garland right now. For Bunny, I strung black yarn on each side of the hat and tied a bow under her chin. I picked black to match her fur so the tie would be less visible. I hope you have fun with your mini Santa hats!

I crocheted myself a Santa ornament and thought you might want to crochet some, too! They would make the cutest gifts, or even gift toppers. We also put a bunch on the garland on our mantel, and I think they would look absolutely amazing on your holiday wreaths! Right now, you can get it FREE for 24 hours before I post it to Etsy. Click here get the pattern from my Etsy shop: Santa Ornament Crochet Pattern He’s constructed like a pillow, and you can use whatever you like or have around the house for his eyes, nose, and belt buckle. All the Santas look super cute and comfy on my pink Christmas tree from Treetopia, and while I can’t decide between decorating my living room in a pastel theme or with more traditional colors, Cute Santa bridges the gap pretty well! My mom came for a visit and wanted to steal all of them, so beware: Everyone will want one!
