More litte hearts and a baby hat and booties that make you smile!

I just can't stop making these little crocheted hearts. They are the perfect thing to work on during my lunch break at work so you'll be seeing more of them. I've decided to try working my way through my stash of yarn this year without buying more! Kind of a challenge I must say as I love buying yarn. This little hat and booties used up less then one big skein I still had laying around which is a good start I think. Here is the link to get to the hearts in my shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/93588759/heart-shaped-tin-with-pink-crocheted  .Baby hat with booties are now listed in my shop so hop on over to see more pictures by clicking this link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/93670288/knitted-and-crocheted-multi-color-baby.

Sunset wishes

Treasury made up of 100% homespunsociety members. 

Lavender sunshine

I love the combination of lavender and yellow, so pretty!  Trying to keep my mind occupied, waiting to hear the results of all the tests my mom has been going through to find out if her breast cancer has spread.  Should hear about the results tomorrow afternoon.  Wish I could be there with her right now, so darn frustrating being that I'm in Virginia and she's in Belgium.  Praying things will work out somehow. 

So, in the meantime I'm spreading some lavender sunshine to make us all feel better!

Felted woodland baby shoes with toadstools

Just listed these cute little shoes in my BitsOfFiber shop.  These are made out of wool sweaters I fulled in the washing machine and turned into these little shoes.  For more pictures and info click on this link http://www.etsy.com/listing/92536276/wool-felted-baby-shoes-with-needle   and it will take you into my shop.  Perfect baby shower gift even if you don't know the baby's sex yet, they will look cute on a boy or a girl. 




Felt party hats by Princess Lasertron

 


I've been knitting and crocheting hats for a long time and it's crossed my mind to make some out of felt.  Not the kind of felt I make up myself but the kind you can buy at the craft stores like Michaels or better yet at Joanne's Fabric stores since you can purchase it by the yard at the fabric stores.  So looking around the internet I came across this DIY on Princess Lasertron's blog on how to make some.  My kid is 15 going on 16 pretty soon so I'm not going to be making her some of these hats but they sure are cute!  Here is the link to the DIY  http://princesslasertron.com/2011/04/makingbirthdayhats/   with lots of pictures on how to do it.  Have fun and let me know if you've made some.  Would love to see them!
