Boots with the Furrrrrr.....

Remember when I said I bought lots of new crochet shoes patterns from one of my new favorite Etsy shops? Well, I finished another pair! These particular cuties are called Furylicious Booties (if you're interested on purchasing a pattern of your own, check out the link!). I made these as a custom order for a baby size 3-6 months. Question: Do you think these would be tacky on an adult because I am sorely tempted to make a pair for myself!

I don't have current plans to list any at the shop, but custom orders are always welcome!

Feeling Hoppy!

I have a customer who has an eye for all things cute! She has a dedicated pinterest board with my name on it for items she wants me to make (how cool is that?!). One of the items I am currently working on for her are a pair of 3 to 6 month furrylicious crocheted boots, but her pin lead me to this AWESOME etsy shop called Two Girls Patterns. Not only did I purchase the furrylicious boot pattern, but I also purchased 5 other ones... I just couldn't help myself their patterns are too cute and so reasonably priced!

Mind you, I will have to post the pic of the boots at a later date, but in the meantime I am getting into the Easter spirit. Here was my first practice pair at making these precious bunny slippers (pattern found here). I'll have a pair (or two) up at my etsy shop soon, but feel free to contact me if you're interested in a custom sized order for you or your little one!

Belated Valentines

Yes, I am THAT mom who dresses her children in 

"holiday themes". But seriously, they are only going to be little for a short while and I just have so much fun playing dress up. I found the cute ruffled shirt at Goodwill (did I mention I love that store!?) for $1.99, and made a simple elastic ruffled skirt with matching rosette pins. Finished the outfit with a crocheted flower hair barrette. Hope you both gave and received some love this Valentines Day!

Finishing Touches...

I spent January working on some "home" projects. I had a stash of items that I had purchased but just hadn't gotten around to doing anything with. Our half bathroom has been "done" for awhile, but it lacked finishing touches. My colors are Gray and Yellow with a bird theme. I found Birdhouses: $1.00 each, Subway Art Frame $1.99, Vase $.99, Shelf $2.99...... Using these thrifted items (LOVE Goodwill), a little paint, some spare scrap book paper, and some free printables, here is what I came up with! BTW, I know the vase is empty, I still have to put together a fun floral arrangement.... AND I am also hoping to make a yarny birds nest to add to my shelf, so many projects to work on and so little time!

Hockey Giftset

I recently completed a custom order from a previous co-worker. I really just "pretend" to crochet since sewing is my passion, but since there is very limited craft items for hockey, (what's up with that?) I had to get creative! I mean seriously, no buttons, no fabric, no nhl licensed anything..... SO, this is what I came up with; The family she is gifting the items to are HUGE Nashville Predators fans, hence the colors. The baby is supposed to be born in March, so I made them to be a 6-12 month size so that he could enjoy them for next hockey season.
