I’m so so so so excited to show you guys some photos from an amazing day with adorable model Shannie Bee and my buddy Marissa/Crazy Spork I Am who was the photog and stylist for the day.

We’ll be releasing shots from a different outfit and location each day this week on the Yummy You! Facebook page (and here, too!).

We combined Yummy You! items, my handmade items, Marissa’s handmade items (Pizzacato Kei), and pieces from Shannie’s and Marissa’s wardrobes.

There were so many amazing shots from each outfit, but I did my best to pare them down to about 3 shots each, so as not to overwhelm you at first!

I can’t wait to show you everything else!

(p.s. the candy heart Yummy You necklace will be available in the Yummy You shop in the next few days!)

YOU GUYS.

YOU.

GUYS.

The Lazy Oaf x Looney Tunes collection is making my wallet laugh and cry at the same time. I think the pink Tweety dress HAS to be mine. AND THE BUGS BUNNY FURRY JACKET?! COME ON! OMG COME ON!!!!!!!!!!! No words. Just drool.

I just added the crochet pattern for the Candy Corn Kitty Hat to my Etsy shop, so I expect to see an army of candy corn kitties very shortly!

I designed this hat to fit me, so keep in mind, this is not a pattern for the wee ones, but for a small adult or lady’s head.

Don’t forget that finished Candy Corn Kitty Hats are also available here, and there’s also the Pumpkin/Jack o Lantern slouchy beret here, and also Jack o Lantern mitts here!

I still have a few more Halloween surprises up my sleeve, even though the big day is coming up really quickly! I’m hoping to blog about the next one before Friday!

New in my shop! Candy Corn Kitty hats! I’m releasing 5 of them right now, since we are so close to Halloween already, but if I happen to have enough time and if these 5 sell out, I will try to release a few more.

Oh yeah, here’s the sketch I drew to help me plan my design. I know y’all love when I show off my fine-arts drawing skills.

Hmm oops. So, I guess I didn’t save the hat sketch. All I have is the scarflet sketch I started with and decided to chuck. Oh well, I guess that’s part of the process I went through, too!

I was thinking about how I kinda wanted to make something candy-corn-themed, without being just plain candy corn (there’s a lot of that stuff out there already). Somehow, a kitty came into the equation for no real reason at all. That’s a really un-interesting story. Sorry! That’s how it is sometimes!

P.S. I decided to also post the pattern for this hat in my Etsy shop, along with a template for the face-parts, if you are not so inclined to cut them free-hand. That may take me a few more days to get nice n pretty, but you can be expecting a post about that soon!

I tried Yoplait’s “Boston Cream Pie” yogurt over the weekend…and it was unfortunately not a favorite. Too sweet for me, although I do love the idea of eating pie for breakfast!

While rinsing out the yogurt cup, I took a few seconds to stop and think of a fun crochet project to save this cup from the recycling bin and give it an extra life in my house. In the spirit of the season, I whipped up a little ghost sweater for it! I think it could be a fun way to decorate a small table and store tiny trinkets or even candy corn or M&M’s!

We took a ghost cozy to the pumpkin patch to make our little video, and a little girl ran up to it with extreme delight. I think this is a good sign.
