Crocheting: Learning the Basics - Tech Cozy Project

Well, now that I have become comfortable with my single and double crocheting skills I decided to move forward in my class. The next step was our first project - the Tech Cozy. I decided that I didn't need a tech cozy since my Kindle already had a case (and I had other ideas for it) so, I went ahead and turned mine into a cozy for my sunglasses.

I don't know about you, but I am constantly misplacing my sunglasses. Sometimes even multiple times in one day! So, with the cozy I hope to be able to make them easier to find as well as clean. Madison just LOVES to play with them and put little smudgy fingerprints all over them. This is where the cozy comes in! It will make it easy to wipe those fingerprints off before I even put them on! :)

I found this tutorial in the class very easy. The steps were easy to follow and the project is easy to adjust to any object that you want to conceal in it. As Linda Howell suggested, I will be making these for gifts and I'm sure they will make their appearance on my etsy site as well! They are just too cute to not share!

Here is the first pictures of my little cozy (and yes, I need to get some more colors for my projects!).

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! :)

Gifts: Diaper Cake

Well, I finished and gifted the baby girl Diaper Cake that I was working on. It has rave reviews! I made it using size 3 diapers, various toys, hair clips, and outfit and baby washing supplies. I even added one of the Boo Boo Bunnies that I make!

I'll let the pictures tell you everything! :)

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!

Gifts: Diaper Cake

Well, I have purchased and started making the Diaper Cake for the baby shower that we are going to next weekend. I really enjoy making one of these with all of the super cute things for baby! :)

So far I have created the three layers with the diapers and secured them with beautiful satin hot pink and purple ribbon. I like to use Size 3 diapers because babies tend to stay in that size longer then Ns, 1s and 2s. Plus, everyone tends to gift the smaller sizes to the Mommy-to-be anyways.

The next step that I have to do is to put all of the cute little things on the diaper cake. But for now I thought that I would share a teaser picture! :)

Gifts: Boo Boo Bunnies!

Well, today I got the rest of the supplies to put together a project for baby shower that I am going to soon. I decided that I was going to also make one of my cute little Boo Boo Bunnies to go with it! What Expecting Mommy wouldn't want one of those super cute little bunnies to help them make their future babies boo boo feel better?!

Here are some pictures of ones that I have done previously!

I can make these with any color scheme that you would like! The two Boo Boos shown above where made for a baby shower. Mommy didn't know what the sex of the baby was so, I used a nice yellow and green ribbon for a more neutral look.
