Crochet- Baby Wellies

Again ... another pattern I have seen but I looked at one of them and could not figure out how they completed theirs to look like this... so I made my own pattern for me and they turned out adorable.  Who wouldn't want some little wellies for England?  

Crochet- Cozies!

Here are two more of the cozies I have created. I love how each came out.  Some more detailed than others.

This one was for a friend.. = )

 Of course one for my husband.  Go BUCKS!

And a matching one for my tea without all the details. = )

Crochet - baby shoes

I was a bit tired of doing little infant hats so I needed to break free and try something new.  I have seen little shoes out there similar so I came up with my own pattern to complete them .  I am not one to follow patterns usually as for me sometimes they are difficult for me to understand enough to follow.  The blue ones are smaller than the black even though I used the same size hooks for both and same stitch count but the black yarn was a bit thinker than the blue making them a bit bigger.  

Crochet- Granny Square Bag

So things have been busy around here but I did manage to whip this little bag up.  It is made using granny squares then laying them all out and sewing them together.  I love how it came together.

Created 15 granny squares to make a bag approx. 12 inches wide and 8 inches tall.

 Bag completed now for the handle

Completed Handle and Bag.  

I did not steam it as I like the puffy look more than a flat bag but if you want a more flat bag, add a little steam to the finished product.

More projects... Crochet

So since the baby hats, I have been busy making more items.  I made a little Knight's helmet for a 2 almost 3 yr old and it looked adorable on him.

I have seen a lot of these out there but I did not want to pay the $ for the pattern so I figured out a pattern for myself.  It was not too difficult, but I should have written it down so I remembered in case I needed to do it again.  But I guess each will be one of a kind if I need to make more.

I also completed another pair of leg warmers.  This time for a little 9 yr old.  her favorite colors are light blue and pink so I was able to use some of my other yarns for hers.

 

Then I got working on some other silly hats... Bearded ones... They are silly but cute!

Long Beard

 Tennessee Dad and Son hats with Beards

Finally some Coffee Cozies.  (Coffee Cup Sweaters) 

One Lump or Two - Digital Scrapbooking

Meredith Cardall came out with this fabulous kit today!  I LOVE IT!  I think sometimes she makes these kits just for me ( wishful thinking = ) )  But it is gorgeous!

It is perfect for us being in England and for any person having a tea party.  I have even see some boy layouts using the kit.  How fun would it be to use this to make all the items for your own personal Tea Party!  She has included a pillow box and invite in the bundle if you choose to purchase the whole thing.

The pages I created using the kit turned out wonderfully!  Glad I was able to scrap out Girl Day Out!
