We have to buy these new and I'm also going to try and make the diapers, I'll just need fabric. I won't be able to make one if nobody buys anything- but it's in the Lord's hands. If you want to buy something please email me!!! I REALLY wanted to make at least one. Anything you buy helps!!! Remember I have baskets, octopuses, coasters, cozies, baby shoes, hats, angel baby clothes, scarves, gloves, and more!!! If there's anything you'd think you want then just ask me and I can see if i can make it. (stuffed animals, etc)

My goal: $30.00

IT'S HAT SEASON!!!!!! [why I haven't been doing charities + QUESTIONS ANSWERED]

6-9 month hat, $10 + $3 shipping

YA NEED TO GET YOUR HATS REAL SOON PEEPS. IT'S GETTING COLD.

these messy bun hats are just the best best thing everrrrr!!!! I love them so much, because I'm nearly always in a messy bun. It helps the static so much this way, and it's so stylish-y. <3 I can do whatever colors you want  and add a flower on request. They whip up pretty fast and make the perfect gift!! Like seriously..I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have a hat like this.  and plus the little button just finishes it off. totally. <3 <3 <3


CURRENTLY CROCHETING.......

• a totally adorable baby girl blanket (it's like really cute)
• Finishing crocheting for A U T U M N!!!!!
• working on crochet gifts for New Years (hey I like to start early =D) 
• pincushion <3 <3 
• and cute little socks

Q. Why are there no pictures????
A. Well the camera battery is lost and the phone batteries just went out, they don't work so I've been sad. :'( But there's the answer.  (the top pics are from last year's hats :D )

Q. Why haven't I been doing charities monthly like I was supposed to?
A. It's actually because I haven't sold anything. I had one order from a sweetie who I'm friends with but other then that there's been nothing. I need to post more and at least put up the charities...but if I don't sell anything then I can't donate anything. 

Q. why haven't I posted like normal in forever??
A. Ugh we've been SO busy...we go back to St. Louis for check-ups + we have a baby shower to plan/host/make happen + Dylan's 18th bday + babysitting + an End of Fall party to throw + building extra rooms for the boys because this house is bursting at the seams + EVERYTHING PLUS 7 MORE THINGS. :| yeah. a lot is going on. 

So that's a rough wrap-up real quick!! I'm so bummed about not having anything to take pictures of, hopefully we'll figure something out soon. :) 
If you want a hat please email me at paigespages04@gmail.com -
I'd love to make you one, they are only $15 and and extra $3 for a flower and $3 shipping for an adult hat. They are so pretty and are perfect for this weather!!!!

[more life stuff...]

tbh it's 2 in the morning, and I just feel soooo bad for not posting in like...2 weeks! x| Things have been so crazy non stop! I've hardly crocheted, there's always something to do. I help little ones with school and oversee jobs and just, A LOT. It's been a lot lately. So I hope you can forgive me for not having anything new for sale.

But.

This month is a new month. November 2017. A fresh start, and a new adventure. I think we should all live like life is an adventure. So I am, finding the little things in life that make the most meaningful moments.  Let's celebrate every moment of every day because we're not ever going to re-live this day and the little moments are just slipping by. My little brother is walking now, and I feel like he was just a baby yesterday! Time flies, life flies, so we need to stop and make time to play a game of Kick ball with your siblings. Or praise them for a picture they drew. It's worth it, to enjoy your days and not be reminding yourself endlessly that you need to do this and that, because it can wait.  Be happy and help others. That's what matters most. <3

hehe, that got kinda carried away I guess. You could call it 2 o'clock inspiration if you want. I guess my point was, I'm not worrying myself with the fact that I haven't crocheted in  2 weeks. I've just been busy, and in my busyness I'm still trying to make time for things that are truly important.
Hopefully I'll get back into a nice rhythm soon. :) See ya!

Crochet projects in October + LIFE UPDATE.

Heyyyyy y'all! Long time no post! Here for the last week I've been in various states. PA, NE, OH, IA, WV and many others! Me and my sister had the privilege of attending a friends wedding, it was so sweet! ♡ I've been cuddling lotsss of babies, reading lots of books, and drinking lots of coffee. 😍❤ Autumn is finally is full swing, pumpkin spice and all. Did you know they have pumpkin spice deodorant?? Yep,  crazy! It's hilarious what people come up with! 

Traveling so much has given me the opportunity to crochet...A LOT.  In the last 8 days I've made:

• 4 hats
• Chapstick cozy (IT'S ADORBS)
• 2 pumpkins (coming soon!)
• Two really cute bookmarks 😊
• Headband with flower
• Set of baby mittens 
• Jar cozy

And that's only in October!!!!! Which kinda makes me pretty happy 😁

And guess what?? My little bro, (in last picture) is turning 1 in two weeks and I'm just like...HOW?! Ahh, he's getting so big! 

Also please pray for my older brother,  Dylan. He's going into a major surgery tomorrow, it's a risky surgery so please pray that the Lord will guide the surgeons hand. That his pain will be manageable and he will have peace going into surgery.

Girl dress and boy jacket // For the angel babies

One and a half years ago, our family lost a precious baby girl. She was a still born, and oh so perfect!! We love her so much and look forward to the day when we'll reunite in heaven. 

People were so nice and so caring. They have left a great impact on me even to this day. Simple things they did showing they cared, meant more then they will know!

I made this little baby girl dress, to sell as a "Angel Baby" dress. If you know someone who lost a baby, this would be a wonderful gift to show that you care. These are amazing and adorable keepsakes, something special to put in their baby's treasure box. 

Baby girl dress- $10 + $2 shipping
<333

And for the precious baby boys, I made this little jacket. An adorable baby-blue color and soft feel once washed. It is so cute, and would be perfect to add to a keepsake box. Just a simple gift, I wanted to bless someone by providing it. <33

Baby boy jacket- $10 + $2 shipping

*neither items will fit a newborn. I didn't make them to fit babies, just something slightly smaller then that, I thought it would be perfect for keepsakes <33
*read this to hear my little sister's story 💗💗💗

Have an amazing rest of your day!!

Breath of Life Haiti: Charity fund || Help me reach $60!!!

{{photo credits to breathoflifehaiti.com}}



Here it is! This is my first charity fund, for this month 15% of ALL profit goes to help the women and children in Haiti, through http://breathoflifehaiti.com.
My goal is to donate 60$ this month, it is a big goal, but if you help by purchasing something it would be so appreciated! Everything helps. If you feel led to, you can donate money itself.



What is Breath of life Haiti about? 
- Breath of Life Haiti is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to empower the people of Haiti through education; while fighting maternal and infant mortality by providing midwifery care and sharing the love of Christ.

“With a population of 10 million, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Much of the country is rural and underdeveloped with a lack of infrastructure and access to medical facilities or emergency transportation. Due to geographic remoteness and socioeconomic status, many mothers in Haiti do not receive the care they require. In fact, only about 25% of births in Haiti are attended by a skilled provider.

As a result, Haiti is the most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere to give birth. Most of these maternal deaths are caused by eclampsia, sepsis, and postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding). In other words, most of these deaths are preventable.

Haiti also has the highest rates of infant and under-five mortality in the Western Hemisphere. Children who have lost their mothers are up to 10 times more likely to die prematurely than those who have not.” -UNFPA + Midwives for Haiti

Breath of Life’s heart and mission is to breathe life into the the women, children and community through God’s Word and the love of Christ. The organization is founded on Genesis 2:7, “The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.” Not only do we strive to fight for the lives of mothers and babies but our desire is to also breathe eternal life through God’s Word.

Please ask me anything, if you want something in particular crocheted, or about this ministry- anything!!
Thank you!! <3

ICE CREAM CONES!!!

These ice cream cones have quick become my favorite crochet addition to my bookshelf, a cute little displays! Aren't they adorable? I love them, and was very pleased with how they turned out. These two little guys took me 3 days to make...😐 It was a lot of hard work, but I say it paid off!!

The pink one is $9 and the white one is $7. And only $2 shipping per cone!! XDD

Have a good rest of your day folks! <33

Penny baskets and a little duckling :D

Hello all y'all lovely folks!! Today I decided to share with you something I made a couple weeks ago, that me and all my little siblings are loving. 

First up, are Penny Baskets! I made these to keep all loose change in, and my little sister loves them. They have a drawstring, so if you figure there's enough for your little one to get a bubblegum, then just tie it and bring it along, super simple. They are mainly for children, but anyone can use them. ;)

Penny baskets are $3 + $1 per basket. 

Next I made this adorable little duck! Isn't it cute? It didn't turn out quite the way I was thinking it would, but I liked it pretty well. It sits perfectly on my shelf and is very cute. The yellow gives  a nice pop of color to things! If you want to buy it, it would be $7 with $2 shipping. 

The mini baskets are custom, but the duck is ready-made. I only have that one, so once it sells I won't have anymore to offer. 

But with the baskets you can pick what color(s) you want, and such! 

Have the bestest day!!! <33 (I know that's not a word) 😂

*Scarves and finger-less gloves* // CUSTOM // Sets and deals

these adorable finger-less gloves are only $9 with $2 shipping!!!  

And this scarf is $11 with $2 shipping ;)

Aren't these items beautiful? The gloves are a pair of my favorite kind, and they are so comfortable that i cannot wait for winter to get here, just so I can wear them!!! And this scarf is a high-quality cozy, wonderful accessory!!! I made the scarf with a special soft yarn that will make you never want to take it off. ;)

So if you would like to buy something as a set, what I'm doing is, let's say you buy a hat with a scarf and gloves. Hat would be $15 + $2, and additional items would only cost $1 for shipping. If you buy a hat, scarf, and the pair of finger-less gloves (making a set), then instead of the total of $41 ($35 + $6 shipping), I will do $38.00  :)

These items are wonderful and something that you would love! Also don't forget that 15% of ALL profit goes to helping people. <33

Messy bun hats!!!

This hat can be sold as of now!!!

Hello people!!! I have something very exciting, seeing as soooo many people LOVE these, and Fall is literally right around the corner!  Which means, scarves and hot chocolate and pumpkins and HATS! Or Messy Bun hats in specific. ;D These are basically genius, you can wear a hat with your hair nice and comfortable out the hole, or make a messy bun after you get the hat on. It's so simple and looks amazing! People loved every one I made last winter- I know you would love one!! =D

Plain hats with just one color are $15 and if you want a flower it makes a total of $18. $2 shipping. Awesome right?! These are custom items, so email what color you'd like it and any specifics, and I'll get one on it's way in a jiffy!!

delicious stuff that won't make you fat....

I like donuts. You like donuts. And cupcakes! Like, all the yumminess and HOW DO YOU NOT LIKE THEM?
Sooo, that's why I made these. I was bored and maybe a tad bit hungry-like usual, and before I knew it I had a cupcake, and then a donut! 😄😍
Both of these items are ready made, so they can't be custom right now, maybe sometime in the future! Either looks absolutely ADORABLE just on your shelf, it in a decorative spot. ;D

The donut is $7 with $2 shipping
The cupcake is also $7 with $3 shipping. ;D
