Sleepy Owl

Sorry I have been quiet for a little while.  Getting into a normal routine in a whole new house has proved challenging.
I had the pleasure of meeting the little babies that my hats have been for.  (My friend's nephews).  They are such adorable little boys. This hat is so sweet.
I can't wait to see it on new baby H.
 

 

I wondered what an owl would look like in an owl hat.  :)  This is my owl decoy to try and keep the birds out of my pool.  (By the way it did not really work at keeping the birds away)

 

 

 

Dish cloths

A staple of my gift-giving are dish cloths.  I have found a really great pattern that I enjoy making for a thick dishcloth that has lots of grooves so it can pick up lots of stuff while wiping counters or cleaning the dishes.  They are quick and easy to whip up. 

Baby Hats, Diaper Cover and Some Booties

My friend asked me if I could make some baby hats for her nephew on the way.  So we picked some super cute patterns and yarn and I got to work. 

She wanted a giraffe hat, diaper cover and matching hat for big brother. She also wanted a sleeping owl hat for new baby.

I was so excited for this cute project that I got started right away.

The first baby hat and diaper cover were done quickly.  I snuck in some baby booties to matched the giraffe colours.  However, I forgot to take a picture of the booties.  :(

 

The other hats are on their way.

Moved!

Ok, so now I have moved into my new home.  I am so anxious to get back to crocheting since my yarn has been packed away for so long.  I will show you my new crafting space once it has many fewer boxes in it.  But for now, lots more unpacking and organizing to go.  I hope to show you some crocheting in the next little while!

Homeless and Happy

So we are officially homeless now.  Our old home closed on Monday and the new home closes on Friday.  Being in limbo is strange.  But it does give me some time to crochet... If only I could remember what box the yarn was in.
