Minnie Mouse Hat

A Christmas present for my niece, she loves Minnie. I'm so excited about this, it makes me feel so professional! The bow is even attached with a hair clip so she can wear it separately if she so desires. And get this, the ruffle at the bottom wasn't in the pattern, it's my own idea AND design. I am a professional!

Crocheted Hat

Merry Christmas, little sister! I finished my first long-term crochet project. I must admit I never thought it would turn into a hat as I was going along. I am definitely proud of it, and the finished project resembles the finished pattern, however, my stitches don't resemble the pattern stitches, like, at all. Thank you, Vickie Howell, for the pattern, however, if she saw my interpretation she may not want her props :)
One Christmas present done, too many to count left!

Baby Outfit

I made the dress and headband, recognize my newly crocheted flower accent? The outfit is completed with orange tights, too cute! Actually, completed would be with shoes... whatever happened to my baby shoe endeavor?

Learning to Crochet

   This is the 7th or 8th flower attempt. I enjoy crocheting but not sure if it enjoys me yet. This is the final attempt for this project. New baby girl no-name will not mind it, I'm sure. Welcome to the family, little one! I'll post the entire gift when it's finished.

Knitting? Been there done that

I'm not the best or most talented knitter, I'll leave that title to my dear friend,Lacey, who made the most incredible, beautiful knitted quilt for my new baby. But I did manage to knit a washcloth (whoopee, right?) and a square elephant, which I was hoping to adorn with a tutu. Not happening this baby around, maybe next time.

Sadness

My sewing machine broke :( Until I get it repaired it looks like I'll be taking up knitting. Off to the craft store...
