Spring Snoods and Novelty Brooches

I've been super busy for the past few weeks getting some new things made for Wacky Tuna. Last weekend, I binge-watched Netflix and crocheted snoods for two days in a row, adding lots of new spring colors.

I love snoods for fancy date nights and days around the house when I just need to pull my hair up and get some work done. Stay tuned for a tutorial on how to wear a snood.

Yesterday, I listed my brand new watercolor brooch collection! These brooches were really fun to design. I get a lot of inspiration for quirky pins from the things around my house and in my vintage magazines. I decided to turn them into mini art prints, which are then cut out of wood in my husband's workshop, finished and sealed with a clear protective coating.

My felt brooches will be eventually phased out with more of my watercolor accessories and art prints listed so I re-designed my pretty packaging with a funny fish and beautiful hand lettering that I've been practicing this week.

Those brooches are really fun, and I love all the snood colors! I'm so anxious for my hair to grow out again (it's basically pixie length) so I can play with it and try and work more snoods and scarves into my daily wear.

I wish my hair were long enough for a snood, it's bob length, just past my chin. But once it is there, I'm heading to Wacky Tuna and getting a few. And I've loved your Victory brooch for a while, but I don't see myself wearing the felt so much as I do your watercolor version. Cute, cute, cute!

Everything you make is as sweet and covetable as the day is long! I'm in love with the rainbow of new snood. Swoon!!!

I just love those snoods! I've been wanting one or two for work for a while but crocheting is beyond my abilities... I might have to put an order in!
