To begin with, we celebrated my niece's 2nd birthday party. It was a lovely warm afternoon and we sat and basked in the sun and chatted, ate, watched the kids play and generally caught up with family. It was soooo good. You might remember that I made a Babushka for her birthday...it went down well!
Cuddles!!
I also decided to make her a little "dress up" necklace.. it was made in a hurry but I thought it was mega cute. I am writing a couple of patterns at the moment for both little and big girl crochet bead necklaces. They are going to be so nice!!
so easy to make..a braided wool cord, two cute little strawberries, and some round balls filled with toy stuffing and you are done! Add two sweet little ribbons for extra cute effect.
strawberry!
The necklace is so too big for her but thats what dress ups are for. I will try to get some up here next week that are the right size for little ones.
My sister's brother in law welcomed a new little one into the world this week so she asked me if I could whip up a special little hat. Here is what I came up with...
Considering the weather is getting really cold I added cute little ear flaps to keep little ears nice and warm..
Added a ruffled flower for fun..
Crochet cords finish it off to tie under a little chin..
I have been having fun playing around with my photos this afternoon, adding different effects and what not. I am thinking that I need to get photoshop so I can delve a little deeper! The website I used is: Photo Effects
It was also husband's 35th birthday today! We went out for a lovely dinner last night , breakfast this morning with family and we are about to have a roast dinner tonight. I think I need to not eat for the next week!
Hope you have a fab week and can find some time to be creative somewhere in your week..
Ciao
