Baby Showers

There are a lot of babies in my life right now! Until about a year ago, I had never even been to a baby shower - but I think I'm getting the hang of them, haha! I love making gifts, as you can tell from my earlier blog entries. I started crocheting not too long ago, and I wanted to make a hat. I searched and searched, but every pattern I found was too... something. Too fancy, too plain.. So I made my own!

I made a few with different colours for my Etsy store for anyone else looking for a unique shower gift!

Exploring!

Well I've been branching out in my crafting...

After posting my knitwork on Etsy, I've been exploring other avenues and have made some accessories and jewellery.  I'm really enjoying working with Scrabble and glass tiles.  I have enjoyed how Etsy has given me a reason to get so crafty lately and I am having a blast!  Check out my new goodies!  I'm so proud....

Sage's Socks

A little pair of socks I made for Sage at 6 months  (just found the picture)

Maya's Hoodie and Dress

Here it is, my first foray into crochet!  I made this sweater, which was pretty adventurous for a first project, but that has been the way I learn - go in way over my head and try to fix my mistakes as I go along.  I discovered just how fast crochet is, and am wondering whether I may become a convert.  Knitters and crocheters seem to stay firmly on opposite sides of the fence, but I am intrigued by these new skills.  I get excited when there is so much more to learn, so expect more crochet to pop up for a while...  

Here Maya is, wearing wearing her hoodie in combination with the dress I knitted for her a while ago.  The dress is following the same pattern as the one I made for Sage last year, but I decided to try using a different colour for the trim.  I unintentionally made a set, because the trim on both is in the same purple yarn!

Mum's Hat

Simple hat in a nice shiny blue wool - gloves to come soon! (Started them, made a mistake, got angry - to be continued!)
