Baby Bibs

A non-sewing friend asked me to make some baby bibs for her. I think I better start thinking about making bibs for our new baby, August will be here before you know it.

Can you tell they are for a little girl?

Happy quilting!

Baby sache

This is a baby sache for a newborn. I will be mailing this to Germany to a little baby girl with a matching hat and sweater.

I will be making another one only it will be for Shane.

Happy Monday

Flower Power

This is another onesie for my etsy shop. I really liked the flower.

Please keep Nikolas in your thoughts and prayers today. Nikolas is having some problems and he is at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital this afternoon for evaluation.

Have a great Thursday!

Shane Michael

A grandson is very special
He fills your heart with care
So many things in his life
With you he always shares


A grandson gives you memories
You treasure from the start
And best of all these things
He brings contentment to your heart

A grandson is all good things
You've always dreamed of
He gives much happiness
He is love

Lacy is expecting baby # 3 the last week of December. I didn't say anything as we were waiting until she had her sonogram to know the sex of the baby. Of course, we would have loved to have had a girl but God picked another sweet little boy for us. With Greg and Shane only being 1 yr apart I'm thinking it is going to be like having twins in the house. 

Lovlies

I made 4 lovlies for my etsy shop. I backed them with Northern Light fleece, that is so soft. They were all the same except for the the ribbons.

Happy quilting!

Sweaters

In the past few weeks I've made a lot of sweaters. These sweaters go so fast.

I've started making hats to match the sweaters. I think they make a cute little set.
Happy hooking!

Stroller Snuggle

I've made another stroller snuggle. These colors seem to be popular with the new mom's.

Flower Power Baby

Took some plain white onesies and added fabric flowers. I think they are too cute.

Lovlies

I picked up some fabric to make some more lovelies. Lacy tagged along so she could help with the fabric choices that new mommies like. lol I would have never picked these fabrics for a baby. I guess I'm showing my age. I'm backing the lovlies with Northern Lights fleece. I hope to get some of these made today.

Stroller Snuggies

I have been busy just nothing crochet related until now. I have 2 stroller snuggies that I am working on. I don't know why I'm working on 2 at the same time. I love the lavender snuggie but it seems to be taking forever. I'm sure it is because the snuggie is made from baby yarn. Tiny tiny. The varigated snuggie is also made with baby yarn but I used strands. The varigated snuggie is a gift for a friend who is due the end of June.

Hex blanket

All of the yellow hexes are completed. I've got them all stacked I hope in the correct order to sew them correctly. lol The way my luck runs I will sew 2 hexes of the same color together. Thanks to CraftyGryphon Knits for telling me how she decides on what color thread to use to stitch things together.

I still haven't found any lime green but Lacy found this green and I think it will be just fine. I have sewed the hexes together into rows and now I'm sewing the rows together. I can't wait to start crocheting the border.

Yarn

Last week was not a good week for me in the yarn department. On Wednesday I ran out of the Bernat Baby Coordinates in Strawberry, then Thursday I finished with the yellow for the hex blanket and STILL couldn't find the perfect lime green. Thursday we also had snow so I didn't leave home. I know I don't know how to drive in snow but other people don't realize they don't know how to drive in snow. So what's a girl to do? Start another project until she has time to go purchase more yarn, of course. No new yarn was purchased for this project. It will just be a hexagon made using up my scraps. Is it pretty? I don't think so. Friday I didn't get to work on the project in the day as I had Scentsy to sell in the morning and tea towels to applique' in the afternoon.

Hex blanket

Sunday I went in search of some yellow and lime green Caron Simply Soft Eco. Unfortunately, I was only able to find the yellow. I'm going to use the yellow for the 3rd color of hexes and trim the blanket in lime green. Using the yellow as the 3rd color came from TheHatDiva as she pointed out it was on the opposite side of the color wheel. If I've calculated correctly and I probably haven't I need to make 16 yellow hexes. I have my centers made and I've started on the yellow hexes. Aren't they going to be pretty together?

Next question, what color thread do I use to stitch the hexes together? Medium grey so it will disappear?

I'm also trying to make a few centers for hexes and granny squares everyday. Don't ask what I'm going to use these hexes and granny's for as I don't know. I just can't stop making them. Is there a 12 step program for my addiction? :) I'm thinking I might make this shawl using the granny squares. I found the shawl over at Deb's Crafts.


Happy stitching!

Hex blanket

I love the turquoise and plum hexes. I really need to choose the 3rd color as I am anxious to sew some of the hexes together. Lacy wants me to use lime green. From the picture you can see that I only need 5 more plum hexes. :D Seems that a certain short person (Nikolas) liked the turquoise so well that he borrowed it. When we question him about the yarn he stands there with a really big grin on his face. Little stinker!

I think I might be addicted to hexes and granny squares. I've made up a few centers.
Happy stitching!

Greg's blanket

I hated the way Greg's blanket was turning out. It felt thin, limp and it gathered in the corners. So I frogged it and started over. I'm still doing a granny square but I'm much happier this time as I'm using 2 strands of thread. It already has some body to it.

Pink for Ava

I made a mistake on the second bootie. Rather than rip-it, I turned it into an ornament. Ava's mommy thinks I'm so smart. lol NOT!

Baby things are so tiny and sweet

Back to working on Greg's blanket.

Ava Marie

I got busy Wednesday evening making a hat and booties for Ava Marie. I wanted to make a lilac set and a pink set. Finished the lilac set Thursday afternoon and I was working fast as Ava's mother had went into labor. However, before I could finish the little pink hat and no I haven't started on the pink booties, Miss Ava Marie arrived into the world. I can't wait to see her. So today I will be busy making a pair of little pink booties so they can be delivered to their new owner tonight. This is the lilac set.
