Baby Luxury

You knew I would eventually have to stick my toe in the baby cocoon waters and of course I had to do it big. I am so excited to share my beautiful newborn cocoon is made out of a soft and luxurious mohair and a creamy white Tencel. Designed with photographers in mind, it measures 17" long and is a slightly wider than most of the cocoons which makes it perfect for your curled up newborn poses

I cannot wait to see a real baby in it!

Thank everyone for all of your support and comments. You have all inspired me to knit feverishly :)

The "Pink Poodle" hat

When creating this hat I had visions of poodle skirts and bubble gum on the mind. This hat is fun and versatile and I love it! It is girlie all the way.

The "Giggles" hat

2009-04-27T18:52:00.001-07:00

This cute colorful 20's style type beanie was named after my husband's wonderful Grandmother. She was one of the most creative and talented women I have ever met and I was honored to know her. I name this adorable after her because she loved color and this is hat is fun and colorful just like her.

The "Nubby Elf" hat

2009-04-27T18:34:00.000-07:00

There are several elf style hats out there geared toward newborns and photographers. My elf hat is a bit different because of the style of yarn I use. The cute little hat is made from a beautiful Pima cotton and Tactel yarn combination. I make these hats in several color combinations so if you have a certain color combo in mind, then drop me a line!

What started it all

2009-04-27T11:38:00.000-07:00

Welcome to BugsHugz Boutique the Blog!! I am so excited to finally get this venture off the ground. It has been a work in progress for months now and after several weeks of hard work it is finally a reality.

As a young girl my Grandmother taught me to knit and I really enjoyed sharing those moments with her. Somehow along the way I packed my needles away and let other parts of my life take over. As a photographer I found a need to start knitting for my business. The minute I picked up my needles again; I fell back in love.

I have never been much of a pattern follower. As in life I am not one for living/thinking in a box; I rely more on stream of conscious creativity. The same philosophy applies to my knitting. I usually just grab a couple of balls of yarn and I create as I go. I guess in a way you can say my knits come from within.

I was perfectly content making hats for myself and friends; I had never considered turning creative outlet into a business. That all changed when I posted this picture of the hats I was making on Flickr.
Within in minutes of posting this picture I was receiving email requests for my hats. It was a whirlwind and I could barely keep up with the amount of requests I was receiving. After several months of filling hat requests I have finally decided to start my own Etsy Boutique where other Moms and Photographers alike can purchase my knits.

I am so excited to start this new extension of my life. As new designs are created, I will be posting them on here. I will also be having occasional giveaways for free goodies. So drop by occasionally and check things out.

Thank you for all of your support and for joining me on this journey. I appreciate it and you more than you can ever know :).
