Crocodile Stitch Booties

I instantly fell in love with these Crocodile Baby Booties when I first saw them.




My pictures aren't nearly as cute as hers or as professional but in person they actually look very similar. The pattern was really easy to follow and was a quick project.


Seeing the difference in the pictures made me realize I either need a new camera, or some photography lessons. Probably the latter. 

Either way, I would SO recommend this pattern.

Bunny "FUFU' Outfit

Here is another photo prop I did for a friend. This is such a great pattern, unfortunately I don't readily have access to a baby to snap photos of in these. 

This is actaully a Snassy Crafter pattern. You can click on the link to go to the pattern on Etsy. 


This was a fairly easy pattern to follow and I must say my favorite part was the pink bunny poof tail. It just adds a little pop of color and cuteness something like this needs.

Peruse My Pinterest

Well, I am still on a baby kick. It seems as though I am hitting an age where many of my friends are having babies. Last week I basically showed you all things for a little girl. I should probably shake things up and do a few cute boy ideas.

Green Pea Pod Cocoon

I absolutely love the photo props that are so commonly used now. It basically gives you a reason to be a little wild and outlandish and everyone thinks it's awesome. Such as the case with something like this pea pod.


The unfortunate part is I really didn't take note of exactly how I did this. For the cocoon I know I basically used a pattern from Busy Mom. This was something I did during a TV night with my mom and sister, which means I wasn't very good at writing down my patterns. I may go back and do another one of these so I can share!

Peruse My Pinterest

Well one of my best friends just announced she was pregnant. So naturally I went nuts looking at baby knits. Somehow I ended up mostly looking at baby booties. Well Pinterest didn't let me down... Take a look.












These are just a few of the great knits that I saw while perusing on Pinterest. Go ahead and follow my Knit/Crochet board to see everything I have found.
