My Completed Crochet Projects

 These labors of love are finally finished and were given as a Baby Shower gift to my friend Danielle. Danielle is due 12/9/11 with a baby boy to be named Nate. I wanted to make a Granny Square blanket since it is a new technique I learned at Rumpelstiltskin's in the past couple of months.

The hat and diaper cover combo was something Danielle was looking for since she is having a December baby. This little set was not to hard, once I got a hang of the pattern. The trim of the hat is made with a cut up feather boa that managed to get all over my house!

I am really happy with the way both gifts came out. I plan on making a few more. The idea of opening an Etsy shop has been lingering in my head for a while now. I think I may give it a shot.

A Fabulous Baby Shower

I had the pleasure of going to a friends Baby Shower this weekend. The shower was held at a Tea House that closed for the private party for the afternoon. Kim is someone who I consider to be one of the most positive and outgoing people that I know. I was so excited about this shower from the moment the shower invite arrived. Below you can some some of the details, including a menu, the 3 tier cake, centerpieces and a picture of me with the Mom to Be.

The food was delicious and conversation was fun. I met some new women and was able to learn more about a few that I have met in the past. It was my first time having Coconut Truffle Tea and it will not be the last!

 As part of my present, I made Kim and her little-one a pink and black Crochet blanket to match the theme of the baby's room. The blanket measures 34" square. I loved it so much that I am making my self one also!
