Wedding Sunflowers



Sunflower pins were made for the Aunts to wear at a outdoor wedding. They were definitely a hit.

New Bridal Crinoline Lady




Oh, it felt good to get back to crocheting with thread after all those baby blankets. I made this bridal crinoline lady for my niece's wedding shower. She was thrilled. I used three different patterns from http://www.crochetmemories.com/. Ms. Mum's skirt, Ms. Sweet Pea's hat and Ms. Easter Lily's bodice. The bride's colors are green and blue and she will be carrying sun flowers as her bouquet.

More Car Seat Blankets with different borders




I have been busy this summer making car seat blankets for six new family members. Whew, must be something in the water!

Teddy Layette for my Great-Grandson





This was my first attempt at knitting a teddy bear. The pattern is a Deborah Noville special and the blanket is crocheted. The sweater is knitted and, I think, turned out real well. I will post a photo of Chace as soon as I receive one.

Pillow Square Exchange


I used one of my pillow squares from an exchange that I belonged to a while ago and created this pillow for a friend that was going back to Thailand. She needed a pillow for the long flight home.

Revised - Crocheted Baby Dress


Revised dress - I decided to thread ribbon through the bodice and move the flower to the front of the dress. I think it looks better.
This is my first attempt to crochet a baby dress. I have been wanting to try this for a long time, but didn't know any little girls. Now with my new family, I have four new little ones to make dresses for. This one was made using #3 crochet thread. I'm pretty proud of it...now need to decide which little girl gets the first one!!!
