New creation try...

So I was trying to think about new things for babies and kids that I could make. I was thinking how to make babies sleep better. Well how do adults sleep good? Sometimes they wear masks. So why not a kid wear a mask? Maybe someone has already made them but I wanted to crochet them! So I found a pattern courtesy of http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2012/12/crochet-sleepy-owl-mask.html and just did it without the owl on it and and made it with a smaller hook! I am planning on making more and some of them for babies too. It would keep the sun out of their little faces and eyes when they are trying to sleep!
Here is what I made today!

Need some input.....What do you think?

After Christmas....Before New Years!

I admit the Holiday's took time away from my shop and blogging. I hope everyone had a great Christmas Holiday but New Years is just a couple days away! I don't think we have any big plans for the New Year celebrations. My husband although is Buddhist so he will take our son to his temple for the ringing of the bell on New Years Eve.
Do you have any New Years traditions that you take part in?
I am still debating on weather to let my 5 year old stay up until midnight for the new year. I think he could but do I really want a grumpy 5 year old the next day?

Lately I have been getting more into taking photos and posting them on facebook and such. My dad just bought a new camera and gave me his old one too which is nicer then the one I had. My father in law also is very into photography. In fact he has a website that I would love to share with you! Check out his photos they are breathtaking!

The other day he came up to me and said "you are doing a wonderful job with your photos and capturing the angles and such". I was very excited and touched that he would say that. So I decided to add some digital download options to my etsy shop. Right now I only have one but will be adding more to it.

Finished Hat for my son

I finished the earflap hat I made for my 5 year old son! I think it came out good for my first time making it! Might nedd to make it bigger next time but overall it came out nice!

Quilting progress

So I finally got some much needed help and advice on quilting thanks to my dad's girlfriend. She is a wiz when it comes to quilting and has been doing it for lots of years. I don't think I will be able to finish the Christmas table topper this year unfortunatly. It just takes a lot of skill and practice that I just don't have down yet. I am determined to finish it by next year though! On the positive side I did some great work on my first ever baby quilt today! Learned how to start piecing it together and sewing it nicely on my new sewing machine! Here is what I got done today!


Trying a new hat

So for a long time I have been trying to make different types of hats and none of them have succeeded. They either come out too big or don't come out at all HAHA. I had a hard time getting the "magic ring" down cause its works the best on hats and it is what is in most patterns for them. I FINALLY GOT IT!!! It took me a long time to figure it out but with the help of one of my crocheting friends I got it down. So I tried a new hat pattern yesterday for my nephew and it looks sooo adroable! I am going to give it to him for Christmas. So when I showed it to my son he asked me to make him a hat too. I mean I have a few hats on my Etsy shop for babies but they are just plain beanies. This one has ear flaps and tassles on it! So I am starting to make a hat for my son now too. Here is the start of it:
He wanted a specific pattern and everything. "Mom you know it goes black, yellow, grey right?" Every half hour he would remind me :) He was soo cute.
I am very excited to be able to start making different kinds of hats now!
