Baby Barefoot Sandals

Yesterday I took my first stab at a pair of baby barefoot sandals! I crocheted them using a white yarn with a little sparkly string in them. They came out super cute! I made them to fit my youngest (Sienna) who is now 3 months old. I decided to put a little crocheted simple flower on the top of them to add to the cuteness!


It was pretty hard to get a picture of Sienna wearing them, since she loves to kick her feet. I'll try to get a better picture later. 

My oldest (Madison) who is almost 2 also wanted to wear them. So, I put the teal pair on here. She thought they were super fun! Since they were made for a 0-3 month old, they didn't quite make it around her leg like they did for her sister. But they still came out super cute! 

I will be making a bunch of these to put up on my etsy site for sure! :)

Cause Bracelets - Cervical Cancer

I got the yarn in to make my bracelets for Cervical Cancer today so, I made up a couple to sell on Etsy. Again, all of the proceeds from these bracelets will go to charity. I will be making the donations from all of my cancer bracelets to the American Cancer Society, unless I get a large order for one of the causes. Then the proceeds will go to that specific cause. :)

I will take and post pictures of the Cervical Cancer Bracelets tomorrow! :)

Next up, pink ones for Breast Cancer!

About This Mommy...

Hello everyone! My name is Robin and my family and I live in wonderful Irvine, California. My husband and I moved here with our daughter Madison (1.5 years old) when I was just 6 weeks away from the due date of our second daughter Sienna.

It has been a crazy ride, finding new doctors, unpacking, giving birth and getting used to staying at home with a toddler and a newborn every day. But the ride is one that I am enjoying, and yes it is taking some getting used to as well. I used to be a full time Graphic Designer when we lived back on the East Coast. So, staying home with my girls is a big adjustment.

I don't know if it's the nostalgia of home that brought me to the decision to take up crocheting again. But I have already finished  two afghans since March! My Mom taught me how to do a simple single stitch afghan back when I was about 10 years old. I dabbled with it here and there. But never really took a true liking to it like I have recently. I've even decided to take some classes to bring me up to speed on the different stitches and how to read patterns!

I'm very excited about it and can't wait to jump right in! That is where this blog came into play. Why not through all of my dabblings and doings on a blog to share with everyone! I'll be posting about things that I have done with the girls as well as stuff that I have done on my own.

Please feel free to come back and check up on when this Crafting Mommy of Two has been up to! :)
