Some Cute Crochet Baby Flower Hats!


I just couldn't wait to show all of you these cute little Flower Baby Hats from Crochet Today!



These worked up really quick with Caron Simply Soft...


This one is in Limelight Green with the flower made in Watermelon and the center of the flower is Sunshine.




Aren't they sweet? I gave the green one to my friend at work for her new grand daughter...

And this cute little Sunshine one is for my grand daughter, (whenever she get's here!) :)


Sorry for the bad pictures but I was so excited to show you I just took them last night...
The pattern is one of my Ravelry Projects



Happy Crocheting!

Halos of Hope-Caps & Shawls for Cancer Patients

I have found an organization that will accept caps and shawls for Cancer Patients. If you are interested in donating something  you can find out more information at Halos of Hope.

Below are some guidelines for their Caps:

Cap Guidelines

  • Handmade
  • New, unworn
  • Washable (preferred)
  • “Soft” means comfort to a bald head
  • Cottons are an excellent choice.
  • If the cap contains any wool, please label the cap; some people have wool sensitivity.
  • Hats made with thinner yarns and fabrics are ideal for summer.
  • Fleece, heavier yarns and fabrics are great for late fall and winter.
  • Scarves and turbans are also needed. Cotton knits are an excellent choice.
  • Sleep caps are also needed. Best when seamless or soft-seamed, and made from thinner, lightweight yarns or lightweight fabrics.

A Couple of Caps & a New Square

Today I am showing what I've been up to lately...

Here is my 12" square for the Food & Fiber crochet-a-long on.  This pattern is from designer Melinda Miller called Falling Star.

I have made a couple of Chemo Caps for my dear friend Cindy who has Stage 4 Brain Cancer. She wanted some bright and cheery caps and I think they match her bright and cheery personality. She was diagnosed in September 2011 and is just now taking a turn for the worse with the tumor growing so they are starting Chemo. My heart is breaking...she is my best friend and we have so much in common, crocheting, vintage finds/shopping, books, etc. Once again crocheting is getting me through. Making these caps for her keeps my hands and mind busy and cheers us both up.

The striped cap is by Drops Design
I am off to deliver her new caps to her today. I hope she likes them.

Peaceful and Happy Crocheting!
