Crochet Christmas Gifts!

Finally I can post some pics of the Christmas gifts I made!

Turtle Pillow Pet for my nephew!

I added some details beyond the pattern. Here's a closeup of the face.
The original pattern from Red Heart instructs you to put buttons for
the eyes, that's all. I thought he looked too simple that way.

I also added some extra stitching around the shell.

I've heard it's already been nicknamed "Crush" from Finding Nemo.

What can I say? After flying in from Cali and getting about 4 hours
of sleep I thought I should test the pillow out. Obviously my dog
and I found it quite comfortable.

For my newest nephew a Lion Baby Bath Wrap.

I hope his mama gets some use out of it. He's a fast growing boy!

Polar Bear Hat for my niece.

I thought it might be easier than buying an
actual polar bear, which is what she requested.

A scarf for my sis-in-law.

How to treasure your treasures

I definitely don't condone hoarding but there are certain events in life that should be treasured. With my recent adventure into crocheting baby hats I came across this picture. I thought this would be an adorable way to remember your baby's first hat.

This is a fairly easy project for all the new mamas out there. Before giving away or packing up all those newborn clothes find one or two pieces you love. Buy a shadow box, some scrapbook paper and get to work! Need more room? Buy a bigger frame and throw their booties in there too.

It's Chilly - Bring out the Yarn!

Geez! 2 months since my last post. That's just terrible. The end of summer and the start of fall have kept me pretty busy though.

Recently I traded in my paintbrush for a crochet hook. With about 5 friends popping out cute little babies between July and September I thought I'd get busy with the yarn and make a few booties, hats and blankets. I also took some time to get a little creative with other projects.

Baby Owl hat for my nephew. He recently became a big brother!

Baby Bear hat for my newest nephew! I placed some ties in the back of the hat so it can grow with him.

I found myself with a present for boyfriend's birthday but no time to run to the store for wrapping paper. So I created my own custom wrapping paper and paper flowers instead of a bow.

Halloween Wreath

Black and dead roses and a RIP tombstone

And of course a creepy spider with his webs draped about!

Baby Hat - soooo cute!

Part of my Halloween costume... more of that to come
