Christmas gifts-more booties

I actually have many more pair to make for all of the babies coming into the world. This pair I made for my neice, Leia. They have pink buttons!

Crochet Baby Boots

 I saw these on Pinterest and knew I HAD to get the pattern. What baby girl should NOT wear these? There are SO many babies being born in my life this year, specifically baby girls (not to gloss over the sweet baby boys, but for the sake of the post, I don't think they would be interested). Some dear friends adopted a sweet baby girl (Samara) this week (and has already received a pair with pink buttons, I will see if I can get a pic of her wearing them). My wonderful childhood friend had a girl this week (Finley). My dear sister-in-law could be having a baby girl at any moment!!!! Here is my question. Could a baby living in Hawaii or Texas even use boots like these?

So adorable! (Thank you for overlooking my annoying use of parenthesis and CAPS in this post).

Crochet Larry

Felix is rather obsessed with Veggietales these days. I hadn't really found him anything that I thought would be of interest to him. Zoe mentioned making a Larry. At first I thought I would make one out of felt like the ornament that I made for him for Christmas. But then I was looking at this crocheted robot that I had made and I thought how easy it would be to crochet a Larry.
I crocheted the Larry. About halfway down I hand sewed on a felt face. I made a flat bottom so he could stand. I put some heavy cardboard in, also, to reinforce it.
Felix loves it. He calls it "Wiwi".

Crochet Heart Garland

Crochet Beard Hat

Found these hat/beards on Etsy and just had to make one. I made up my own pattern and now that I am looking at them side to side, I see I need to make some adjustments. Travis wore this little beauty out riding his scooter the other day and said it kept him really warm.

Cowl?

I got one of those circular looms to use to make knittet things. I thought this was called a cowl, but when I looked up that word it referrenced a hood, which this is not.
I think it turned out well. It was made with super soft yarn and will be heavenly in the cold. I actually have one that I crocheted last year and I wore it all winter.

They're finished!

I think I started these in September. My friend, Liz, posted on her blog where to find the pattern and I knew I had to make them. I had my sister Jill's family's name for gift-giving this Christmas, so I decided to make two sets. I know-CRAZY! I think we started in September. My friend, Brianne, decided to make them with me. Awesome idea. We got to hang out and play and crochet (sometimes:) every Friday. I finished Jill's set right before the move and finally finished my Joseph! The kids are a bit disenchanted with them because they have seen them around for 4 months- but Jill informs me her kids love them. Yeah! Success. Hopefully the kids will be excited next year.

Crochet Owl Purse

Adorable crochet pattern I found on Etsy.

crocheted robots

I found this pattern from a Etsy site that Jen sent me. Liam loves robots and I couldn't resist this little guy. Liam named him David, which is the funniest robot name ever! The girls loved David so much that they begged me to make them one.

This is Lydia's robot, Belle. Lydia chose the colors. I think it is funny that it turned out looking like she is wearing bikini bottoms, and she has the faint outline of a chest (not intentional).

More booties

A different pattern for baby booties.

Baby booties

So many friends having babies! These were fun to make.

nesting dolls

When Mom came to visit she brought some nesting dolls with her. Lydia became obsessed and carried them everywhere with her, calling them her "puppets". Shortly after I found this pattern online that I purchased and made. I decided to put our families faces on them instead of the same face on all of them. Lydia loves them, but they are the kind of toy that are fun to take apart but difficult to put back together, so they are always apart.
