Meet Wally, Walrus

I would like to introduce you to Mr. Wally . . . a friendly walrus :-)

 

It has been quite a while since I have posted but my creative gears have shifted and so I have once more picked up my crochet needle and began to work.

Baby Bibs

 

I have only made a few of these bibs, but they are fun and sweet . . . and the decorating (aka "sprucing up") make all the difference!

Little Buddies

Here are some of the "little buddies" I have made so far. . . a bunny rattle, lil'lion, and a classic teddy bear.

 

Little Man Vest

Baby Dress #3

This dress has been a work in progress for the last few months. . . finally was able to finish, and boy was I glad I did!  I added a light blue, almost teal, border to the top and bottom of the dress along with a corsage of red, green and orange felted flowers.  I also wove a green yarn through the bottom border of the dress and pulled it a bit tighter allowing for a "sack" like appearance to the dress.  It is supposed to fit an infant of about 12 months.

Infant Dress #2

My second try at an infant dress. . . . this time I decided to "accessorize" by adding a darker purple border and my own creation of bow's, pom-pom's and buttons at the top.

Darling infant dress

My first dress. . . it is lovely :-) Given to a dear friend/family member who is having her first child sometime this month.  I will surely be making more. . .

St. Patricks Infant Beanie

Hello Kitty

Valentine Baby

Here is the beanie I made for the first baby born on Valentine's Day at Methodist hospital

Ariel Beanie

After seeing my Tinkerbell beanie I did several weeks back, a co-worker of mine had requested an Ariel beanie to be made in similar fashion.  I decided to go with a blue color beanie to represent the ocean, with an orange colored star (starfish in mind).  I also added some green seaweed and, of course, an Ariel pin in the center.

Infant sized beanies

 Here is the beanie I made for the first baby born at Methodist hospital on January 1st 2012

And here is the beanie given to a little boy born at 1:07 am on December 25th 2011

Christmas Presents

I wanted to wait to post these beanies until after christmas because they were gifts and I didn't want the recipient to see them ahead of time :-)

Adult Beanie with flowers made for my friend Kim

This little "monster" went to Penn for a special little boy who likes to scare himself!

This went to a little princess girl. . . I hope she enjoys it!

I made this adult frog beanie especially for my cousin Averi. . . complete with pink instead of red and freckles

This "minion" went to Florida for my cousin Macy by special request. . .I heard she "loves" it ;-)

Monogram Beanies

Honduras Update!

I am so excited to announce that the church building in Honduras has now been completed and will seat up to 300 people!  A big THANK YOU to those who supported through the purchase of my handmade items!  Beacause of you,we have all had a part in this awesome investment and dream!

Tinkerbell Beanie

I had a request for a special little girl that LOVES tinkerbell for a beanie with the tinkerbell colors.  I created a pea green beanie with accent colors of purple, blue and white (cute fuzzy yarn) and completed it with a tinkerbell centerpiece for the flower.  I hope she likes it!

The King makes an appearance

By special request. . Mr. Lion.  This lil'guy was a bugger to make.  I had no idea the mane would take so long and be so tedious . . . he sure did turn out cute though

Popular Purple

Here are some of the requests I have had for beanies lately. . . purple seems to be pretty popular.  Featured in this post are a purple kitten, a purple owl and a purple monkey!

Happy Thanksgiving!

As a labor and delivery nurse I decided to do a little "special something" for the first baby born on Thanksgiving. . . I made that special baby a pumpkin beanie! 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! There is so much to be thankful for. . . .

New additions to my collection

Fishy!

The panda has been very popular. . . I have actually made this beanie in newborn, kid and adult sizes.  It is too cute!

. . . . more beanies. . . .

The frog beanie has turned out to be one of my favorites so far!  Love him! Thanks Crystal E. for the suggestion.

These are my giraffes. . . . the one on the left is the adult size, the one on the right is my newborn size

 Remember the pig from an earlier post?? I revised her a little due to the popularity of the earflaps and braids.

My version of a strawberry

(newborn size)

And by special request, the ladybug!

Baby Shower for twin girls :-)

 Last weekend I was priviledged to attend a baby shower for a good friend of mine. . . Daysha!  She is having twin girls! I created two sets of beanies for her twin to match some monkey onesies as well as an owl and hippo blanket.

 

Introducing. . . . . Beanies!!!

Yes. . . it has been awhile.  I lost my inspiration for a short amount of time, but I think it has returned.  I have been working on some adorable beanies in both newborn and infant sizes.  I am experimenting with adult and kid sizes right now, but nothing has been finished
