I have been sharing the baby girl things I’ve made over the past few months here, here, here, and here. The last little thing, before taking everything to the cute, tiny Baby Taytem, was a dress to go with this sweater I decided to make a very simple, sleeveless A-line number.with keyhole backand contrasting…

Baby shower 2 gifts
My sister is pregnant. (All three of my sisters were pregnant at the same time until last week, when Whitney had her baby girl) We just found out last week that it’s a boy! Of course, I couldn’t be more excited. We had a shower for her while we were in town. I didn’t have…

Baby shower 1 gift
The day we left, a friend had a baby shower. I made the gifts and got them packaged up before we left also. One onesie, three ways. The bow tie is removable with a piece of velcro. Little polka dot swaddler. This has kind of become my go-to baby shower gift. I hadn’t tried them…

Crocheted baby sweater
Pardon the instagram photo. It is easier, these days, to just take a picture on the phone and upload it directly to IG. I used this free pattern but made some tweaks. For instance, I put the arm holes in off-center so that it would be asymmetrical. I like that. I also kept the sleeves…

Cute little outfit for my Luke
I rarely make full outfits for my boys. I’ve made individual pieces, like birthday shirts, shoes, hats… I don’t very often have the time, for one thing, to make a whole look, though. This week was the exception. I really wanted to make some cute pants for my guys. I drafted up a pattern, knowing…
