Baby's first New Year!

My 2nd treasury for the challenge.  More to come tomorrow!



2013 ... the best is yet to come!

I'm entering a treasury challenge on Etsy making treasuries related to the New Year so you'll be seeing some more in the next couple of days!  Here is my first one! 



More mice, an amigurumi owl and a pair of knitted red baby booties

We decided to add some more plaid mice to the MauveMoose shop of my daughter.  Then I totally forgot about this little amigurumi owl I had made when I was in Belgium visiting my mom earlier this year.  So you can now find him in my BitsOfFiber shop where he is for sale.  Also added a pair of red baby booties perfect for this season since they have snowflakes on them.



The patterns listed here below by Leisure Arts - More Cute Little Animals to Crochet are darling!  I have this book and will definitely make a couple of these.  Now you must know when I crochet (or knit, sew or whatever craft I'm doing) I hate following a set pattern so I usually end up changing things as I go along making something.  Of course the bad part about that is since I hardly ever write down what I change I always end up with some real one-of-a-kind items!  I have pushed myself to write things down especially when I'm making baby booties since I need to make two that need to be exactly the same size.

OOAK recycled lambswool sweater baby shoes

I just listed this pair of darling little baby shoes I made from a lambswool and sheep's wool sweater which I felted in the washing machine.  They are sooooooo soft!  I then needle felted the dots as well as the toadstools on it.  They are up for sale in my Etsy shop.  If you click this link it will take you to it:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/118784380/ooak-blue-lambswool-felted-baby-shoes




Crocheted cat toys!

Been working on these cute crocheted balls to be sold as cat toys in our MauveMoose shop on Etsy.  These can actually also be used to make jewelry with.  They are crocheted around a wooden bead which has a whole in it so they can be strung together or onto something else if you like to turn it into jewelry.  I will be listing them in her shop later today.  We have lots of different colors.  If you prefer a different color selection of what she put together just email us with your request.  Also if you would like a color that's not listed let us know and we can probably accommodate your request.  They are about 1 inch in diameter and crocheted with a mercerized cotton thread.



White lavender for Christmas

Merry Christmas everybody!
