Another pair of toadstool baby shoes

These are newborn size.  The bright blue wool is a mix of lambswool, rabbit hair and angora, soooooo soft and a very pretty blue.  The designs are needle felted with merino sheep's fleece.  I sewed a velcro closure on the straps so they can be easily adjusted to baby's ankle size.  These make great baby shower gifts.  People love to display them after baby has outgrown them.  They will be listed in my shop tomorrow.  

THESE HAVE BEEN SOLD. 

Itty bitty pink and grays

I love the color pink and gray together for a baby.  So here are a whole bunch of them I found and put into a treasury on Etsy.  Have fun clicking away finding more favorites for purchasing some lovely baby items .... not just in gray and pink but all kinds of other beautiful combinations.  

More blue love hearts

So I couldn't stop crocheting these cute little hearts the other day when I made the garland and decided to sell these without making them into a bunting/garland.  I figured somebody might have fun with these using them for scrapbooking, decorating a pillow, a jacket or whatever else you can think of.  I found this cute little heart box at the craft store and I couldn't believe what a perfect fit they are for all my little hearts!   Anyway, there are 9 of them in the little box.  I had 10 and since that one didn't fit into the box I used it to decorate the box on the outside with it.  That way you can actually tell from the outside what's on the inside!  I'm now working on some more little hearts since I found yet another little heart container, a metal one this time that will hold less then 9 but it has a see through top so I thought that would be just as perfect as the other one I already made up and is now for sale in my BitsOfFiber shop.  Here are a couple pictures but if you like to see more then click on this link   http://www.etsy.com/listing/91920609/crochet-heart-appliques-for-decorations?ref=pr_shop    which will take you to the item in my shop.  Come back in the next couple of days to check out the other ones I'm working on.  They are a very pretty salmon color.

Eggplant baby hat

I've made a couple of new baby hats this past month but haven't had the chance to take pictures of all of them except of this one eggplant baby hat which I'll be listing in my http://www.etsy.com/shop/BitsOfFiber shop later today. The other hats are Christmas tree hats with bobbles but you'll have to wait for those until this darn weather clears up so I can take pictures. I'm back at work now during the day making signs at Wegmans so I can only take photos of my creations when I get home after work and so far it's been raining or has rained which means I can't take pictures. Hopefully I'll be able to take them in the next couple of days so I can list all the new hats as well as the needle felted items I've made.

Lambswool, Angora Rabbit wool Felted Baby Shoes

I had purchased a sweater knitted with lambswool and Angora rabbit wool which I fulled in the washing machine. I used that fabric for the main body of the baby shoes and then needle felted the polka dots with a red merino sheep's fleece. The center is embroidered with French knots in a purple cotton thread. The red flowers are needle felted with the Merino sheep's fleece in red and purple colors and in the middle I embroidered some more French knots. These are oh so soft and cuddly perfect for a babies little feet. Will be in my Etsy shop later today.

Christmas hat for baby!

It's never too early to start shopping for the Holidays you know! This cute little hat will fit a newborn to a 3/6 month old ... depending on how big the baby's head is. It can easily be rolled up to make it fit a really small baby and unrolled as baby grows into it. I added a jingle bell at the end of the hat but crocheted around it so the sound is muffled to avoid the annoying constant jingle! Just listed in my BitsofFiber shop on Artfire.

More baby shoes for my Etsy shop

Another pair of the burgundy/dark red ones in a bigger size with a felt rosebud. And, a gorgeous pair of coral color itty bitty size for newborn up to 3 month old.

Pretty Pink Felt Baby Shoes

I managed to finish another pair of felted baby shoes which I put up for sale on my Etsy and Art Fire sites. I love making these little shoes. Making the felt and sewing them by hand are my favorite parts, cutting out the little shoe pattern is my least favorite part. These I made from only sheep's fleece and tussah silk, I didn't use any llama or Alpaca fleece this time. These little shoes always bring a smile to my face when I look at them. My best friend Erna, said to me the other day that these little shoes almost make you want to have another baby! BUT, then we both remembered the sleepless nights, the dirty diapers, tantrums and figured heck no, we've been there done that and we wore the T-shirts! She has 2 teenage daughters and I have a tween and we're both very happy to have these wonderful kids, we'll just leave having babies to that next generation.
