I know it's been a long long time!

but, but, but I do have excuses for not writing.   I had hand surgery back in December and then my mom had a stroke which meant I had to fly to Belgium to take care of her.   In the meantime, hand is doing much better and so is mom.  I'm back to making and listing things in my Etsy shop.   While I was in Belgium visiting mom in the hospital then visiting her at the rest home she's now in I knitted and crocheted to keep myself from going crazy.  I've just listed a couple of things so far here they are!

Pastel mohair baby hat with bow

This little hat is sooooooo soft and soooooooo warm!  I knitted it with a mohair and acrylic yarn mixed together so it's extra thick.  The bow as a darling snowman button on it.   It's a perfect hat for that special little girl keeping her warm and cozy during the cold winter months!

And how about a chocolate vanilla cupcake beanie!

This one has a crocheted cherry on top.   Such a sweet present for that special baby!

Vanilla cupcake anyone???

This one is knitted with a beautiful boucle cotton/acrylic mix yarn.   The strawberry I made out of felt and the sprinkles are little pearl beads I sewed on top of the hat.   Makes for an adorable OOAK baby gift, perfect for a baby shower you need to go too!

Needle felted wool baby booties

Yeahhhhh, I was able to hand sew a few things today!  So happy my hand is starting to get better after surgery and having the cast removed.   I'm even typing a heck of a lot faster compared to yesterday so yesssssss, I'm a happy camper.  

I had made these baby shoes before my surgery but needed to sew around the top and put a cord in it so that's what I did today.   I just listed them in my Etsy shop so if you are interested in purchasing a unique, sweet and oh so soft pair of needle felted baby shoes for that newborn this is the time to do it since I don't get to make these all the time.
