dance it out Marian University.

I just got finished my largest order to date! 10 earwarmers for the Marian University girls dance team!!!

Check out how cute my friend Katie is (third from the right)! She was a 500 Festival Princess last year and put in the order for her dance team!

Marian's colors are navy blue and gold. I actually love the color combination and think the earwarmers turned out oh-so-fabulous (ifIdosaysomyself)!

I just love that there is a collegiate dance team out there wearing a handmade creation from The Hicks Girls!! (not to mention, they are gorgeous models for me!)

Purdue vs. IU

hail hail to old Purdue! all hail to our gold and black!
hail hail to old Purdue! our friendship may she never lack!
ever grateful, ever true as we raise our song anew (Fire UP!)

all the days we spend with you, all hail our old Purdue!!

Ahh, I love my alma mater! I love everything about Purdue and I love all of the memories and friends I met during my 4 years there. Actually, both of us Hicks Girls and Big Sister Burg's hubby graduated from good ole Purdue! We are Boilermakers tried and true and love the gold and black!!

One of my most favorite things about fall is Purdue football games. If you've never experience a Big Ten football game....you're missing out. Add it to your bucket list. PRONTO!

Anywho, I decided I need some warm flair for all these fall football games I plan on going to this year. Woot. Woot. Here ya go!!! It's the suPURDUEper hat!!!

And (because I don't discriminate)....I had to make something for all the IU fans out there.
(even though IU barely has a football team. geez).

I also had to make some earwarmers! I can't wait for football games this fall so I can sport these around campus!

All of these items are available on our Etsy Site!

francesca models...earwarmers!

I do love me some earwarmer headbands. And so does Francesca...for two reasons: one...they are a great alternative to hats, but yet keep your ears warm during those cold, Indiana winter months. And two...I have long hair. Most of the time, I love to knot my hair up on the top of my head in a messy knot. Wellllll, you can't really wear hats with a giant messy knot on the top of your head.

Enter headband earwarmers. Love them. Love everything about them.

The Rolling Fields of Green headband earwarmer.

Ok Purdue fans...here's The Windsor headband earwarmer.
(and yes, The Windsor is named after the dorm I lived in before moving off-campus. yesyes, I was a Virgin Vaulter.)

The Americano With Milk headband earmer

Complete with vintage buttons!

All my earwarmers clasp behind your head with a button. They are stretchy and comfy. Oh and highly fashionable.

P.S. Don't forget that all of the flowers are removeable. :)

every princess needs an earwarmer...right??

If you've read this blog for any amount of time, you know that I love making things. More than that though, I love making pretty things for people to wear and giving them as gifts.

Since I am involved with the Indianapolis 500 Festival Princess Program, I decided that I wanted to make something for this fabulous 33 girls (and Queen Mother CoCo) to wear to some of their events. Yes, you read right...that means I would have to make 34 of whatever I decided to make.....and guess what? I gave myself two weeks to complete this project.

Well, since we live in Indiana...the weather in the Spring is ridiculously unpredictable. For example, it will by 47 degrees today and close to 70 on Thursday. The month of May is known for frigid temps at the beginning but will reach 80+ degrees by Memorial Day weekend.

With that in mind, I decided to whip up my easiest creation....ear warmers with giant (emphasis on the word GIANT) flowers. Each ear warmer takes me about 45 minutes to crochet, so I had to get to work and pronto!!!

With the help of my friend Devin (who just happened to be visiting the weekend I needed to have these done....sorry D! I'm sure its not what you had in mind for fun...but I appreciate the help!), I was able to get all 34 of these earwarmers done just in the knick of time!!

I did 17 black with white flowers....

...and 17 white with black flowers. (FYI, the flowers were made out of broadcloth and my trusty hot-glue gun. And now I'm officially obsessed with these flowers. Just you wait...I have more projects that these are making an appearance on.)

The best part?? I have 33 gorgeous models walking around the state of Indiana in some of my creations! Love that!!
