Monster Lovey

This beautiful monster lovey was made for a baby boy who should be here in a month. I made it using C2C stitch for the square blanket and the the head was free hand.

The photo doesn’t do it justice really.

It took me less that a day to make the body, the head followed next. It is stuffed to make it soft.

This is what I enjoy the most. Being to crochet something beautiful and then giving it away. Not that I would love to make stuff and sell them too. But I guess that for now, gifting will do.

Oh, well I cannot complain I have a blessed life.

Day 2 of the blogging challenge

Lets just say that it’s way early in the morning to have anything coherent to say. None the less here we are blogging about it. I did make some nice baby headbands for a co-worker. She is expecting a baby girl in June.

So… camera is being a pain and not really taking pictures so. may have to leave you with the finished result and later show you how to do it.

 

Hopeful very soon….

 

Love ya,

DYI Baby Wipes Case Cover

When you have a baby everything changes. You want everything to be perfect and nice. You want to show off your mothering skills and your crafting skills. Everyone assumes that you have to make things for your baby, and to an extent you do. We google and youtube information on how to do baby clothes and accessories to show off our baby in. I have always done crafts and crochet. So when I have my own bun in the oven and wish to make all sort of *cute* things for him. The drawback is that there aren't a lots of things to make for a boy. There is a lot of sexism in the crochet and crafting world. So I try to make the things that I can. Here I will be making (or covering up) a baby wipes case. The pamper's and huggies' little cases are perfect for this and relative inexpensive.

Materials:

Baby Wipes Case

Fabric

Ribbon embroider

Glue gun

Sissors

Use the wipe cover to measure and cut the fabric, then glue it on around the edges. Then do the same thing with the lace.

Its fairly simple you just have to be careful of not getting burn by the hot glue. 

Have I ever mentioned I love the glue gun. I will have to keep it out of reach when the Prince gets to the walking stage.

Well do e-mail me if you have any questions.

DYI Changing Pad Cover

So, I will be 36 weeks this Sunday and the baby can come at any minute now. So I decided to do the last things on my list. I have a few to go still but I took care of the changing pad cover that I had not found in any store. I decided to make one since it's nor really complicated and I had some sewing fabric left over from the Nursing Cover Project. I took my measurements twice and cut the fabric. Honestly it's just like making a pillow cover. But when I sewed everything in place and put it on. Apparently I didn't take the measurements right. Note to self: next time measure 3 times. LOL.

Well here is a picture of the finished project:

 
So, I guess I will have to make another one later on. And remember to add more fabric.
