Some of My Past Projects...

You can click on the photos on my page to make them larger so u can see them in detail. Feel free to comment on my entries...i love responses and reactions.
This is a Layette I crocheted for my daughter also. She can still fit it and i will get a picture of her wearing it whenever she wants to cooperate with me lol.
This is a dress i started for my daughter also and never finished it. lol. i probably should get back on it.

This is a starghan i started for my daughter when she was first born as well and as u can see i didnt get very far on this one either. I guess u can say i wasnt very motivated.
This is the first blanket i ever crocheted for my daughter. It was made with a lot of love and very girly. Its funny how this blanket came about actually. I was looking at a pattern for another blanket and messed up the pattern. So i kinda edited it myself and made it into my own shells blanket. I used Caron simply soft yarns; pink, cream, and purple. That brand is actually my favorite brand to use. It is so soft and very cheap. Well anyway, this is how it came out and my daughter loves it.
this is the shells blanket again, a close up of the detailed shells. the blanket is actually folded this time.



These are pictures of a baby pinafore i crocheted off a pattern i created on my own. i will later post the pattern for those who would like to use it. To make the dress prettier i sewed some ruffled edging on the bottom of the dress and i also weaved some ribbon through the bottom above the yellow stripe and tied it in a bow. i sewed buttons on the back. I think it is just lovely and this is one of my greatest creations yet. I am working on a headband to match the pinafore.


This is the first outfit I made for my daughter before she was born. She got to wear it once before she grew out of it. I thought it was so cute.
