The Grandbaby – She’s here!

We have a new granddaughter and she's just precious. Some crochet that was made for her arrival. Here are links to the patterns:  Purple crocheted hat, purple crocheted sweater, pink knit sweater and the white hat has no pattern, but the pom was bought at Michael's.

Ireland in the summer

We just returned from a bus tour and family visit in Ireland. People ask where we went, and it's more like, where didn't we go? First there was some gift making for the family we would visit... Hats and cowls for the adults: Hackey Sacks for the kiddies: Then we parted on a short flight…

The buttons are just some leftover bridal buttons to dress them up a little bit. Farewell tiny shoes!

Preemie hats!

Did you know that preemies who wear hats stay warmer? It's true. We lose body heat through our heads, so it makes sense to make preemie hats for NICUs. So that's what we have here. I make mine small, but not the very micro ones. Here are a few.
