Crochet Baby Sandals- WIMTW- What I Made This Weekend

        This weekend I made these adorable baby sandals. They have a heal strap that is suppose to have a button, but we figured not having a button was safer. They also have a super cute bow as a toe piece. They are super quick to make once you figure out the pattern.

I made these ones for my mom for a baby shower gift. The set included one pink pair, one blue pair, and a purple pair.

The pattern comes from here

Graduation Cap Decorations

Its been a couple months since my graduation, but I still wanted to show how I decorated my cap. It was held in MetLife stadium and they had the whole place decorated with FDU logos and signage. The only downside was the weather, it down poured right in the middle of the ceremony. 



 The truss is made of white electrical tape
The words are white and gold stickers from staples. 
The red arrows are made from cut pieces of red electrical tape. 
and the stars are silver stars you can also get at staples.

Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! Holly

         The third day of the 12 Days of Christmas is Holly. This was definitely the easiest pattern so far and took about 15 minutes. 

          The pattern is quick, cute, and simple. The berries are so small and cute and assembly was the hardest part. The pattern came from Lion Brand's website again. 


Tomorrow's item is is a Christmas Tree and that looks exciting and I'm looking forward to it.



4/12 Complete =) Post again soon

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! Tree


Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge is a Tree. This one was fun to make because I got to decorate it how ever I want. I don't know how to make French Knots so that was a challenge. 


Tomorrow's pattern is a snowflake. Post again soon :) 

Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! Candy Cane

Day 3 for the 12 days of Christmas Challenge was a candy cane :) I'd been looking forward to making this for a couple days and whipped it up during my lunch. Which means it took about 20 mins.


It's about 4.5 inches tall and I thought the way the stripes are done gives it a neat look. 

Tomorrow's item is holly and the pattern comes from the same site as before. 3/12 complete :) post again soon

Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! Present

           The 2nd day of the 12 Days of Christmas Crochet Challenge was a Present. The finished project was bigger than I had expected, at about 3" wide and 4" tall. It was a cute little pattern and used mostly beginner stitches and techniques. I got this pattern from the same place as the wreath, Lion Brand's Website. I think I may try a keep with the classic Christmas colors for most of the challenge.



Tomorrow's item is the Candy Cane and comes from the same site as the previous patterns. I have been super excited to make the candy cane so I hope it goes well.
