Craft Happenings

Over our media break, a lot of crafting happened over here. I made some really fun crocheted Pixie Hats following a free pattern on Sweater Babe. My good friend Mother Geese also had some hats made out of this pattern, and we didn't even know we had the same pattern. You can see her super cute Pixie hats on her page. Great minds think alike right? The one Bug is wearing is really made for babe #3, but he squished into it for the picture. I am in the process of making Bug a brown one, but I have been slightly discouraged because I can't get him to keep a hat on for more than 5 seconds :( But hat making continues on regardless of Bug's lack of hat love.


The second round of hats are made from a recycled sweater from my beloved. They are goofy and fun, and the kids keep them on a little longer than the pixie hats.














The last pictures are of two attempts at making Lil'B a dress. Sad attempts. But cute skirts. After hours, literally, of trying to make a dress sans pattern, I gave up, chopped off the top have and sewed it into a skirt. I love the skirts, but would have LOVED to have made a dress. Now I am looking for some cute easy dress patterns for Lil'B.
