Bobble Dresses

When I saw this pattern HERE, I knew I had try it...in puke green (b/c every girl always dreams of wearing a puke green dress, right?!) The original pattern fit my middle child. I added a scalloped edge b/c I wanted more length...plus it's pretty. Then I made up a pattern for a bobble beanie to match. After making one dress/beanie, I realized my other 2 girls needed one also. So then I adjusted the original pattern to fit my other girls...the results were so, so cute.



Maybe when I have the time I can post the pattern for my bobble beanie for my 2 crocheting followers out there...!

Crochet Mania

With my sewing machine, fabric, and supplies on a ship for the last 3 months...I've been a crocheting maniac.

Here's a baby blanket I made for my sister's baby. I ran out of yarn when I was making the border...luckily I was able to find some yarn that matches.


I'm crocheting dresses for the girls...pics will come later when I'm finished. However, I decided that matching beanies would look great and made up a pattern. Love the way this puke green beanie turned out- those bobbles are so cute!


I'm embarrassed to admit that I probably have a good 20-30 beanies scattered throughout our house. At least we're prepared for winter! The kiddo's picked out this rainbow yarn at Hobby Lobby right before we moved...

Blessing Dress

I've been MIA for a couple of months. Mostly because things have become crazy with our upcoming move to Australia (oh yeah, sorry if you didn't know...but we're moving in a few weeks). So I've put aside all of my projects for now...although I did finish up my sister's blessing dress- it took forever to crochet but it turned out pretty. I couldn't believe I forgot to take pics of it before giving to her- so I asked her to email me some pics- thanks sis!


So I'll probably be MIA for a couple months longer until my sewing machine, fabric, supplies, etc make it out of our 20 ft shipping container in Australia. Can't wait to scope out all of the fabric stores in Oz!

Baby Blanket

My sister-in-law has waited a long time to become a mom...and come November, she's expecting a boy! I just finished this baby blanket and hopefully it'll make it to Utah before the baby shower this Saturday. Perfect for the baby blessing, don't you think?!

I Can't Stop Crocheting...Help!

I haven't crocheted anything since making the above blessing dress, bonnet, & booties for my 3rd daughter last year. It was such a time consuming, over-the-top project for me that after it was done I decided I needed some space and "broke up" w/my crochet hook...

Ahhh, but the crochet bug has bit me again and even though the weather here will never get cold enough to get much, if any, use out out of these beanies...well, I still love them and think they are oh, so darling. My husband see's my non-stop beanie-making and just rolls his eyes. I'm starting to crochet some cute flowers to go with the beanies. If you want to make your own here's the website of the patterns I used HERE. I can't believe how talented this lady is- she has tons of crochet patterns.


PS. Apologies for my daughter not being appropriately dressed...for those of you unaware, my daughter is very opposed to clothing. Now I'm so used to seeing her without a shirt on that I don't realize it until after I've taken a picture- oh well.
