Tah Dah! Better Late than Never...

Finally I have pictures of some of the little things I made for Emma before she was born

A cute little cupcake hat form Crochet Today Kids Edition this last Summer




This little Baby Sleeper Set w/Diaper Cover is what I made while waiting 15 hours for Baby Emma to be born.





This little sweater, matches the cupcake/bobbles hat above.  I got a little creative with color and this was a fun one that I gave to Angela at her baby shower. The patterns is actually called last-minute quick baby set.




Happy Crocheting!

Finished Objects Friday-Tah Dah!!

 Isn't this yummy looking??!!

Jimmy Beans Wool was having a sale and I couldn't resist getting some of this gorgeous yarn.I wasn't sure about the colors or even what I am going to make with it but it was on sale!! (Is this how my stash got so big??)

 Now... on to more exciting news. I finished my cowl/scarf to go with my slouchy hat. I am so happy with how they turned out.  I do love this yarn from Lion Brand Tweed collection.


And now the BIG Tah Dah!

Chunky fingerless gloves...made from Lion Brand Hometown yarn.  I love, love, love these.   So soft and so warm and so easy peasy to make...








Aren't they cute? I  think these are going to be perfect for Christmas presents for the girls at the office.

Have a great weekend everyone and
Happy Crocheting!
