Feelin' Crafty




So, I'm still an ultra amateur at this whole crocheting thing but waiting for baby has given me lots of practice! I even got my sewing machine out (a day to document for sure!) and used an old fleece blanket to try my hand at making a baby sling. A friend let me borrow hers for work that was similar to it when Russell was an infant. Even though I wasn't fond of the idea at first (I had just shed myself of all that extra weight up front...I didn't see why I'd want to adorn myself with a baby all over again), it actually came in very handy and I even found myself using it at home. We'll make sure to do a little fashion show for you all once baby is here. I'm working on some little mary jane shoes (hey, Jane, now there is an idea for a name! :) ) right now. We'll see if she gives me time to finish them before she makes her grand entrance!

I am so impressed! Were did you get the pattern for the cute little hats? I've been doing some crocheting as well but nothing as cute as what you are doing! Way to go! Can't wait to see the shoes! And that little girl! Hope she doesn't keep you waiting much longer!

Oh I LOVE the hats. Emree loves hats and I haven't found any cute ones for her. I can't crochet, you should sell them, because I'd buy them! Let me know if your interested, not that you don't have enough to do already.
I am super impressed. That is so great. Jess you should sell them. I don't have kids but would totally buy them

You've got a great talent, make use of it! You should start up an etsy shop! Lots of people are using etsy to keep their talents going. I hope baby girl joins you soon! I'm thinking of you constantly!! Love ya!

Those hats are adorable! Girls are so much fun to dress up- my girls LOVE hats and accessories. I tried my hand at crocheting, but gave it up quickly out of frustration. Those hats make me want to try again (or just buy on off of you if you are selling them)! Only a few more days (or less) before your precious baby girl can model them for us!
