Knit Headband

Here's one:I love how making these lets me practice my stitches. I love the texture they all have!

Another Baby Shower Gift

A friend requested that I make her a few items for a baby shower she was attending. She said she really likes simple sweet things. This is what I came up with:The apron on the dress is made from a vintage handkerchief.

Every baby needs a bracelet and hair bow to complete their outfit, right?

These booties were made from vintage handkerchiefs as well. I followed a pattern that I found on my friend Kirsten's blog and just added the lace because I thought they'd look cute laced up like ballerina slippers.

Hope the mama-to-be likes it.

Back In The Saddle

Last Sunday my sister-in-law asked me what I was making lately. Nothing. That's changed though. There's all sorts of stuff I've been making lately to add to my shop. I sometimes forget how much fun it is to create things, but when I start I just keep going!
Someone asked me to make a hair accessory for her niece's Christening. I've been playing around until I get some real details about what she wants.
Obviously these would be inappropriate, but still fun for girls!

Getting closer. . .
This last one is my favorite. I doubt it'll work with the Christening gown though because I think it's ivory.

I'm not sure how ornate she wants the hair piece to be, but I think something more simple would look lovely with that dress. Anyhow, tomorrow I'll show you an apron, and a bunch of necklaces I made. AND I think my mom will be here tomorrow for 10 days!!! I thought it was going to be Saturday but my Aunt told me that she thinks my Grandpa is trying to get here sooner. (My mom is coming with my Grandparents for my cousin's graduation.)

Headband

One of my friends asked me to make a infant headband for her to take to a baby shower she was going to.


I'm pretty sure that Evelyn and Brooklyn need one too, so Cindy and Maria call/email me and tell me what colors you want!

PS- How cool is that vintage wallpaper I just thrifted? (I used it at the top of the cellophane bag.) I have a lot of ideas for that roll.
