Tulle dress with crochet bodice!

I made this dress after seeing something similar online.

And Miss C was so excited to be wearing it!

The back is a lace-up, "corset" style. I think I will be replacing the tulle with ribbon laces.

This is my favorite shot. :)

What a pretty princess!

Now available for sale

I just started an album of ready-to-ship items that are for sale on facebook! Here's the link to my facebook page, and here's one that goes directly to the album. There are only a couple things in the album right now, but I will be adding more, so be sure to like my page and check for updates! Also, I'm planning some giveaways, so keep an eye out for that too!

Here's what I have ready to ship at the moment:

Fingerless gloves.

Chunky wool scarf.

Kitty Cat Ears!

So, the same friend who asked me to make the plum colored flowers also asked me to make these for her almost-one-year-old. She has some specific clips she wants to use for them, so I just shipped them off to her like this, but I could definitely add some clips or put them on a headband.

Here are the fronts of the ears...

As you can see, the backs are all black, as any black kitty's ears would be...

And I tried to contour  them to reflect the shape of an actual cat's ear.

I am pretty pleased with how my first set of ears turned out! Would you put them on clips? Or a headband?

Flowers

A friend asked me to make some flowers for her in this lovely plum color:   

Do you like? These are for her and her daughters. She has something special she wants to do with them, so these are just the flowers without any clips or embellishments. I have to say I love the color she chose!

I am so excited to show you these! I'm really happy with how they turned out. The top one is a ribbon wrapped headband with three crocheted flowers in white and pink and the bottom is a single flower. They are for sale in my Etsy shop here, or you can contact me through my facebook page! 

Baby owl hat!

Over the weekend I watched the first season of Downton Abbey and crocheted a whole bunch of stuff!! Here's one of the things I finished. This is my first ever attempt at an owl hat, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I may experiment a little more with the ears, and I'd like to go find some bigger buttons, but I was just using what I had on hand. And I think it's super cute! :)

This is sized for a newborn baby, but I could definitely do something similar for bigger heads!

Haha! I just found this picture on Pinterest, and it's the same type flower that I was looking at when I designed the pink hat! See the resemblance?

Unfortunately, the link for the picture seems to be broken, so I don't know where it came from. :(
