Crochet Animal hats are here, even for BOYS

So I cannot explain how excited I am to introduce my new animal hats. I have a black cat, cow, owl and puppy. They are a size 2-4, but could be worn for a younger child with a larger head. My daughter who is 5 can wear them. They are my warmest hat yet with ear flaps as well. Completely hand made and 100% cotton.

The owl and puppy are the first anything I carry that a boy can wear. Hope you all enjoy.

New Covered button bobby pin

I am so excited about this new item added to the Ellie's Essentials line up. I wanted to find a way to make something for older girls and I also wanted to come up with something to add to the bobby pin fad. So I added a covered button to the bobby pin. This is a VERY STRONG bobby pin in silver. I put one in Elena's hair (who is 5) and it never moved all day-even after running all over the backyard etc. This is perfect for little girls, teens or even moms- I wear one sometimes also. It is perfect to pull the bangs out of your face and add a little bling.

You can pick your own fabric to match anything. This would be perfect also to match to Elle's outfits to complete the look.

Hope you enjoy!

Crochet Newsboy Style Hats are HERE!

I AM SO EXCITED! The newest hats in the Ellie's Essentials line up are here. I found every little girl in the backyard crew to model for me. I have two sizes small and large. Small fits 6 months to 18 months and Large fits 2T-? This first picture is with a small size on a 22 month old. I have:
white
light pink
chocolate brown
hot pink


This is a small on a almost 5 year old, but she would wear the large size. They look great even without a flower or bow.

This is the small size on a one year old with a decent size head.

My daughter with the large on with a flower.

What I love about these hats is the thick cotton. They will really be nice and warm in the Fall, Winter and early Spring. I had a lot of complaining of being too hot tonight. I have them ready to go.

Here is the newest M2M Gymboree line bow. This brightly colored combiniation matches the Floral Reef line. As always I try to add all the color so that it goes with anything, but colors of course can be added or taken out if you want. I also attached the korker option as so many like one or the other.

Rainbow Caterpillar Clip

Inching his way to the Ellie's Essentials store is the rainbow colored caterpillar clip. This was inspired by Nicole who wanted something to go with a custom Very Hungry Caterpillar dress. I am sure the Grace and Lilly will look adorable.

I now have the smaller version of my large flower clips in zebra and cheetah. SO cute and adorable for little ones with smaller amounts of hair or just in ponytails.

M2M bows for Gymboree's Citrus Cooler line

Here are the M2M bows for Gymboree's newest line, Citrus Cooler. I ado love the bright colors that were used. I also found a really cool match for the layered plus bows with the citrus slices on it. Remember that I can always make a layered plus much smaller for toddlers. They look so cute and mini!

Going Wild with Animal Print Daisies & New Little Layered Bows

I just finished up some options for a custom order to match Gymboree and came up with this new little layered bows. They are about the size, length wise, of a korker, but layered with spikes. I also used a two tone loopy bow in the front. I absolutely love them. This is the perfect way for you to now get a layered bow, but very little size.

Take a walk on the wild side with these animal print gerber daisy clips. I have zebra print and leopard. They look so fun on headbands, crochet hats and on hard interchangable headbands. Now I feel like going to the zoo.

Lots of new stuff!

Spring is definitely here and so are the flowers here at Ellie's Essentials. New felt flowers! They measure about 4 inches around and two layers of petals in light pink and hot pink with a sequin middle. SO cute!

New crochet headbands are ready! These can be worn with ANY of my bows or flowers and totally interchangable.

Colors are chocolate, white, black, lime, cream, red, light pink, and hot pink.

Just wanted to show everyone that they are not just for infants and bald babies. As shown with my lovely model, they can be for almost 5 year olds as well.

And last, but not least the large korker ponytail holder. These can be any combiniation you want. They come on ponytail holders, but can be put on alligator clips, french clips or worn on any of my headbands. They are a lot larger than my normal korkers- about 5 inches all around and FULL.
