Shell Stitch Baby Girl Hat

I needed a gift for a young lady in our church that just had a baby girl.  This hat is simple, soft and sweet and I love the lining inside.  I had a friend who showed me this trick--just buy a thin baby hat, turn it inside out and stitch it in and it makes it the hat extra warm and soft for baby.

Lion & Lamb

My sister-in-law is having twins--a boy and a girl!!! We are all so excited for them.  I thought it would be fun to do a lion and lamb for their baby gift.  They turned out cute...though I think the lamb needs some bows on it.  What do you think?  They are super soft little hats and I love them.

Here comes Susie Snowflake :)

To celebrate fall weather I finally decided to stiffen a bunch of snowflakes that I crocheted last winter.  My mother in law has a bunch on her tree and I LOVE them,  so I had to try them out.  (Note: she made hers by tatting which is awesome).

Anyway just had to share one all ready for our Christmas tree in a couple months.

Go Aggies!

Well, I am still trying to pace myself because too much crochet leads to wrist pain really fast when your pregnant...which I am.  However, I have enough to do for gifts and personal projects that I stay busy anyway.  So I have been feeling in the mood to blog lately and here are a few projects that I've been working on.  My sister and family are loving on Texas A&M as they have just moved to Texas and her husband is now a grad student for the Aggies.  She is expecting a baby this winter as well so baby needed some Maroon & White.  I made my sister a headband with 10 size thread that is really fun and festive as well.  "Gig 'em Aggies" :)

WRIST REST

It sounds so pathetic but I am officially taking time off from crocheting and giving my wrists a rest.  I have had problems in the past with pain in my arms and wrists from crocheting too much.  In the past couple weeks it has returned and I think its time to lay off a little and see if the pain goes away.  Therefore I won't be taking any new orders in the immediate future.  :(  Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things soon.

Baby Doll Bundles, a new fav

Um...pretty sure I got really "baby girl hungry" while making these little purses.  A purse that folds out as a cradle, complete with baby, great for on-the-go play with easy ribbon drawstring.  This is just the kind of thing I would have LOVED as a little girl.  So I just love everything about them and had to share.

P.S. I added a little crocheted blanket in before I shipped these but didn't get a pic...I liked the addition though.

These sell for $20, if anyone was curious. (Shipping is an additional $3/order)

Flower Power Bag

Every once in a great while, I have to make something for myself to keep me motivated.  Lately I've been branching out, trying projects outside of the "hat world", so you'll be seeing some fun new things in the future.  Lately, I've been really into bags for some reason.  This is my "Sunday Bag", big enough for all things a mom has to tote to church, and I love it!
