Flowers for Josephine

So since I have absolutely nothing else going on (do you hear the sarcasm?) I decided to take on one of the largest crotchet projects I've ever tried for my niece's 2nd birthday.  Why you ask - well 1) I wanted to make her something special to celebrate her becoming such a big girl and 2) because I'm just plain crazy.

I've had a few really cute things pinned to my crotchet board for a long time, so I took a second to browse and immediately knew that I wanted to make her this blanket because she just got her new big girl bed.

So 2 1/2 weeks, 6 skeins of yarn, 56 flowers, and 10 incredibly stiff fingers later - VOILA

I am actually realllllly happy with the way that it turned out!!  I hope Josie loves it as much as I love her

Happy Birthday Miss Josephine!

Blake's 2nd Bday - Favorite Decorations

A few pics of the decorations I made for Blake's fish/Nemo party.  Big thanks to my mom and dad for helping me get this all set up!

Sea Creatures Project Part I

I've started working on my first attempt a knit creature a few months ago, the little crab below, and got sidetracked many times.  But with Blake's bday coming up soon, I got a new burst of energy to finish my collection of these little guys to use for his party decorations.  Really surprised at how nice these are turning out so far!  Sharing the first three guys that are finished so far and will share the steps up to the finished product on party day!  Only 2 months to go!!
