Beautiful Bow Mary Janes

Spring is almost here! Yayyyy!! This winter in Michigan has been unusually mild. We had barely any snow at all, and some days we were above average temperatures. It was AMAZING! I wish every winter was like this one. :) 

I am bursting at the seams with ideas for Spring items, but having time to make said items is the tricky part. I have had so many Etsy orders and I love it! The second I saw the pattern for the Beautiful Bow Mary Janes on Etsy, I knew that I had to make them as soon as possible. I purchased the pattern and here they are!

I love baby shoes, and decided to make these beautiful shoes Purple because that is my favorite color. I love the way they turned out! 

You can purchase the pattern here.

Little Yellow Rain Boots

These past few days in Michigan have been rainy & dreary with only a little sunshine. Not typical for August, but when is the weather in Michigan ever typical? I was trying to think of something to make while my husband was golfing, my son was napping, and my daughter was watching yet *another* episode of Thundercats. (Don't ask.) I decided to make rain boots for babies!

 These were fun to make, and they work up pretty quickly which is always a plus. Picture these with a little rain coat and umbrella! How can you resist??

 You can find these adorable Little Yellow Rain Boots for sale in my Etsy Shop.

Ready For Spring!

I have a problem. I've got Spring on the brain! I am so sick of snow and cold weather, I could scream! I don't want to think about crocheted hats with ear-flaps. I just want to make SPRING things! Every winter I ask myself, "Why do I live in Michigan?" 

Yesterday, I made this cute little hat. It wasn't the right size for my daughter and I felt bad putting it on my son, so this lovely baby doll modeled it for me. :) 

This lovely little hat is available in my Etsy Shop. 

I made the flower out of some floral patterned fabric, and used a button for the middle. I've had the fabric for awhile and never knew what to make with it. I thought this would be more fun & different than a yarn flower. The funny thing about this picture is that this baby doll is a boy doll that my daughter named "Carlos." :)

I Heart Purple

Living in Michigan, right now I am dreaming of Spring. I can't wait for the temperature to be above 20 degrees. In February we had a "heat wave" where it was in the low 50's for a few days and all the snow melted. Days later, we were hit with another Michigan blizzard and everything was white and nasty again. I don't know why I live in this state! 

When I think of Spring, besides the warmer weather and sunshine, I think of the colors. Pinks, Purples, Yellows, Oranges... anything BUT White! I wanted to use the leftover yarn from the blanket I made for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention auction, and I wanted to make something quick and easy. The yarn I used is called "Hyacinth." 

I love these little baby booties. The pattern I bought for these a few months ago on Etsy (from seller SkipToMyLoop) was the best money I've spent in a long time. They can be made in so many different colors, the possibilities are endless! I just wish I still had a little baby girl that could wear these. :)
