3 Elephant Ears

My little man is growing up because he is getting less and less cooperative with these photo shoots! This Elephant Outfit is now in my shop. I am having so much fun crocheting him little animal outfits. I think I've played dress up with him more than I did with Kenzie. He is such a good sport. 

1 Sunflower Pot Holders

My mother has been here for the past week helping out and it's been so nice. I wanted to make her something for her and knew that she had been wanting some decorative sunflower potholders for her kitchen. I finally found the perfect sunflower square pattern! I used this pattern with Lionbrand cotton-ease yarn and size G crochet hook. And I am really loving the results. I think it would be gorgeous as a big quilt as well, but for now I'm sticking to the small quick projects.

They definitely look like siblings.

Leave long tail and sew both ears to the top of the beanie.

This beanie is my new favorite. The yarn is incredibly soft and stretchy and perfect for a newborn gift when you don't know how big the babies head will be. And the best part, it only takes about 20 minutes to make! Luckily I was able to whip up a couple of these before my little guy came.

1 Crochet Flower Headband Pattern

I feel silly even posting a pattern for this, because it's that easy. I used this pattern for the flower and for the band I simply chained the length of Kenzie's head, then did a double crochet, then single crochet around the entire band. Then just sew the flower onto the band and you're done. The only hard part is getting your two year old to sit still for a picture!

0 Bear and Aviator Beanie

I think it's safe to say that this little boy's head won't go cold this winter.

2 Ribbit

Just added this pattern and finished product to my shop. I realize these pictures are desperately missing a cute little newborn. I'm doing everything I can to make him get here sooner rather than later. Like using the "think system." I really hope by next week he starts listening.
