Crochet hats were a huge obsession for me this fall. Especially super funky ones like sock monkeys, owls, flying pigs and angry birds.

With all our trips back and forth to our seemingly miles away bus stop and the myriad of events were baby sister had to tag along, quickly throwing on one of her hats kept Hadley warm and cozy plus the center of attention. We never left the house with out one of Hadley's signature hats!

It's getting harder and harder to get her to wear them now (she wants to play with them) but I still try and have 3 older kids who will happily wear their funky handmade creations.

One of my favorite hats was an Angry Bird inspired flying pig hat & super soft owl hat from KnitNutbyJL on Etsy. I found KnitNutByJL originally through Heartsy (my fav place to find Etsy deals) but at $10-$12 a hat, they are already a great deal! Jill was great at creating a custom order for me and we love our hats.

A perk of manually reviewing new members form my mommy blog directory, TopMommyBlogs.Com, is finding inspiring DIY posts like this DIY Halloween post from Brooke of Brookies Baby Bargains. She wrote this DIY Halloween wooden boo letter decoration post for the Roberts Crafts blog and I'm inspired! I'll be tackling this project with my kids when they get home from school today and thought I would pass on the inspiration with a little Halloween Wooden Letter roundup in the meantime.

If you're looking for a little more Halloween DIY letter inspiration (I know I am).. I'll keep going! 

Here's a cute project to do if you can't find wooden letters or just want to DIY it a little more. The pictured above Boo Halloween Blocks by Jamie over at TheCraftingChicks.Com is a combo of wooden blocks, ribbon, paint and printed letters. See the full post with instructions here...

And of course if you're not feeling very crafty, no problem. Here are some DFY (done for you) Halloween letters.

Even though it's July, my 4 month old baby Hadley is still wearing crochet hats. Partly because at night it still gets a little chilly, partly to cover the little rubbed out bald spot she's sporting from laying on her back too much and partly because I am obsessed with how cute she looks in them. It's goodies like this that make me favor the colder months!

Beanie Designs sent little Hadley the cutest handmade off white earflap flower beanie. We love it. It stays on really well and she loves to chew on the braided yarn that hangs down. I keep this and a little white sweater in her diaper bag for nights on the porch at friends houses. Keep reading to find out how to win one for yourself!

Beanies shown above: Cream Bear Ear Hat w/Earflaps (top photo; $28); Organic Cotton Cream Stocking Hat with flower  (2nd & 3rd photo; $32); Brown Beanie Visor With Flower ($28); Organic Cotton: Multi Color Baby Stocking Hat (collage left; $32); Organic cotton Multi Color Stocking Hat ($32 collage top right); Organic Color Pink Multi Color stocking (collage bottom right; $32).

I'm so excited about this little gem of a deal I got today from Heartsy. These adorable, tiny and sweet little infant shoes from Etsy shop Tilly Whistle. While I got one of the last gift vouchers through Heartsy giving me 50% off, Tilly Whistle is a shop I wanted to share because of how cute these baby shoes are.

If you're not familiar with Heartsy, it's a flash sale site exclusively for Etsy shops. If you're not familiar with Etsy, Etsy.Com is a handmade market place selling all sorts of treasures and one of my favorite places to find baby things like bibs and burp rags, jewelry, hats and other accessories for me and the kids.

Everyday Heartsy features about 4 Etsy shops and lets you buy a gift voucher for yourself and/or your friends for at least 50% off. I've gotten several amazing deals so far and have found this to be a very affordable way to check out different shops.

It's no secret I have a serious Etsy addiction lately in addition to a new baby. Which works well since my baby has some hair issues (what newborn doesn't) and I know Etsy is a great place to find some amazing hats for little Hadley. One of my latest purchases is from JeabMade and I'm dying! I've gotten so many compliments about this adorable crochet beanie so in addition to another beanie for Hadley in the next size up, I also got two more for my 4 and 5 year old girls so they can all match. I'm a slave to coordination!

Hats, sized up to preteen, start at around $17. I received my first hat about a week and 1/2 after purchase (which I think is quick).

I've been on a shopping rampage lately and have discovered tons of amazing handmade treasures at one of my favorite online shopping destinations... Etsy. While I am mostly shopping for my newborn little girl, I always keep my eyes out for fun and special goodies for boys.

I could not stop coming back to these adorable 100% acrylic yarn knit beanie & onsie sets with matching felt appliqués from Rocking Horse Lane. While I think the colors and themes are primarily geared more towards boys, I am eyeing the elephant set below for my little Hadley. Maybe matched with a pair of pink pants.. what do you think?

Field trip time! We're taking a little trip across the pond to London Mummy, a fabulous and unique London based online children's boutique. It was originally the funky lunch box sets and iconic London city-scape pillows that caught my attention but the baby shoes, crochet toys and accessories from Anne Claire Petit and the myriad of other brightly colored and unique items kept me busy and browsing. 

Pictured above: Retro Robots Lunch Set (£29.50; approx $48); Michelle Mason London Cushions (£45.00; approx $73); London Tea Towel (); Drawstring Storage Bags (£25.00; approx $41); Mushroom Money Box (£49.50; approx $80).

Pictured above: Melanin Mugs & Tumblers (£7.99 each; approx $13); Toadstool Leather baby Shoes (£18.00; approx $29); Kids Birthday Cards (£1.95 each; approx $3).
