I wanted to introduce you to Lori Ann, who runs the blog http://nomoresweatpants.blogspot.com/ AND the Etsy Shop Lori Ann's Handmade Goods.
She offers handmade scarves and hats, with more ideas in the works! Just take a look at her creations:

Here's more about Lori Ann, her blog, and her Etsy shop in her own words:
- I started my blog this year in January as part of my New Year's Resolution to get out of my stay-at-home-mom uniform of sweatpants and pajamas.
- I'm in my 30's and have been married for 4 years. My little ones are 2 and 4. I'm a stay at home mom who also home-schools the little ones. I also teach Pilates classes in the evenings.
- My aunt taught me to crochet one summer when I was 12. My great-grandmother taught her. I'm the only one in my generation of grandkids (there's like 70 of us, I come from a HUGE family) who learned. I like to crochet for a number of reasons: It reminds me of my great-grandmother; I'm able to sit and watch a movie and be productive at the same time. Idle hands drive me crazy; and most importantly, having an etsy store allows me to stay home with my little ones.
- I guess my style philosophy is feminine but also casual, comfy, and affordable. I have to be able to wash things and not worry if little muddy or sticky hands are going to ruin it. It has to be practical yet stylish. For a long time, I didn't think the two could exist together but I feel that I'm starting to find a healthy medium of the two.
- I started my store a few months ago after I wore a scarf I made and was encourage by some fellow bloggers to begin selling them.
Thanks for letting me feature you, Lori Ann!
