So, what do you think about my latest project?? I'm SO excited about it!! :) So, the headband part is made with cotton so it will be soft of Baby's head. It will have a button on one end so that the band can be adjustable so it will last Ba

by a little longer. The Plumeria is one of my favorite flowers from Hawaii. It is removable so that when Baby outgrows the band the flower can be removed and used as a hat ornament or pin. Oooo! I can hardly wait to get it all finished up but just HAD to show y'all a picture. :)

Birthstone Baby Blanket #1

Here it is!
My first baby blanket in my new line of baby blankets.
I'm calling them Birthstone Baby Blankets. This one is April's - crystal - white with a bit of sparkle.
My aim with these is to have one for each month - obviously :) - and keep them quite affordable. Baby blankets are such a fun gift to give and crocheted baby blankets are my favorite to have. I love this pattern! So lacy and pretty and yet quite....usable! My favorite thing about crocheted baby blankets are the many spaces available - less risk of suffocating with all the available air space. :)
So, if you need a gift for an April baby or you just like this color, check it out!
The next color will be available soon! But, as always, if you have a particular color you'd like that I don't have listed yet, please, just send me a message. I'd love to work with you to get the one you'd like!

BLOG SHOWCASE

So, recently my Etsy shop was mentioned on another blog! What an exciting thing for me. :) I am always touched when anyone thinks my little crafty things are sweet enough to share with others. So Thank You to Miss and Mrs. J,  for making my day!

She is into Clip Art - how fun! :) I like this one - reminds me of one of my favorite Precious Moments pictures from my childhood.

Hair Bun Covers

They're back! Do you know any little girlies who have ballet or dance classes coming up? Why not try out one of these neat hair bun covers? They are made with nylon thread and "Ouchless" hair bands. The nylon thread gives them a little bit of a shiny look. They are also at least 2-3 dollars cheaper than the ones I've seen in dance supply stores! :) Yep, I'm all about a great deal! LOL
Check them out....New colors coming SOON!!

FYI

Okay - so I found another lovely blog that I thought I'd share with y'all! I love finding/reading blogs like this one. I really could just sit here all day and read away....except for the little voices in the background asking "what's for lunch, momma?" ;)
So, here it is - http://www.pepperknit.com/ - go check it out! You may be very glad you did!

Summer Catch Up

Well, how are all y'all doing this summer?!?! Staying cool? HA! Not in our "neck of the woods"! It's been 106+ degrees here....hot, hot, hot! We have a big back yard - that my boys are not enjoying mowing right now! - but no one wants to play in it these day...not even on the trampoline! SO - we got a mini pool. Not one of those little kid plastic ones - my kids wouldn't even fit anymore! This one is about 10' by 30" or something like that. All 5 of my little peeps can play at once with enough room to not clobber each other! We've had it 3 days now and they've every one of those days out in it! Lovely! Even I've been out in it a couple time - so refreshing to get into some water during the heat.
On the crafting side of things.... :) ...it's been a bit slow around here. Trying to get odds and ends finished up, some gifts made for weddings, birthdays,etc...Summer isn't as conducive to my types of crafting, at least for me. Plus the kids are not on a regular chores/school schedule so....the crafts can wait - or squeeze in between, if possible! This time with my kids is going all too quickly anyways and I know there will be days ahead that I will have more than enough time to do other things!  Hope your summer is full and rewarding. God bless!
