Blanket for Baby Bean aka Ozzy :)

Here are some better pictures of the blanket I made for Baby Bean. I love the hood...I cant wait to see BB wrapped in this after his/her bath :)

Amanda's Baby Shower: GIFTS

So, here are some pictures of the gifts I decided to make for Amanda and her little baby bean. The first is a 3 tier diaper cake. Its the gift any new mother will use...and its a great centerpiece. I used #1 infant diapers and since Amanda loves Winny the Pooh, I tried to make it with pooh decorations. I thought it came out awesome for my very first DIAPER CAKE.

The second picture is a Diaper Bassinet. This is very cute but much more of a pain to make..lol. I had leftover diapers from my diaper cake so I thought this would be cute to try. Everyone seemed to love it and thought it was adorable.

How can you have a baby shower without making booties. These cute white w/ yellow trim booties were very simple and came out adorable. Id definally make them again.

Last but not least is the picture of the hooded blanket I made for Baby Bean. Yellow being Amanda's favorite it was a no brainer to pick out this pattern. It came out bigger then the pattern but I didnt think that was a bad thing. I tried to crochet loose so it would turn out a bit larger. Its a plain blanket but sometimes plain is really nice.

Amanda's Baby Shower: FAVORS

My other job was to make the favors for Amanda's shower. You cant go wrong with Chocolates and my friend Karen let me borrow her molds to make these delicious chocolate lollipops. They were pretty simple to make, just time consuming. I think Amanda and all her guest liked them...I know I thought they came out pretty good :)

Amanda's Baby Shower: DIAPER PIN GAME

So, my sister, sister in law and my sister in law's family through my older brothers wife a baby shower a few weeks ago. We were each in charge of a something and mine was the favors and a game. The game I chose is the Diaper Pin Game. I made little pins in unisex colors (yellow & green) and each guest got a pin when they arrived. 2 of the pins had "poop" in it and who ever had the "dirty diaper" won a prize. Here are some pictures of the DIAPER PIN GAME:

His/Her Pillow Video

Ok, so you saw my post of the 'his/her' pillow I made for my brother in law & sister in law..well, I thought it came out so good that I wanted to make one for my brother and his wife as a gag gift. I thought of some new 'improvements' I could add, one being squeekers you'd find in a dog toy. I thought this was too funny...I added them to the 'boob' side. See the attached video..LOL...I laugh each time I see it :). Im really not a perverted person..but my family members bring it out in me :p

Kristen & Chris's Wedding Gift

When I found out my good friend Kristen was getting married, I knew what to make her. I made this same blanket for my husband and I and we both love it. This is by far my favorite project. Its soft, warm and so cozy. I hope Kristen and Chris get to snuggle under this for years to come. Congrats on your marriage guys!!!

His/Her Pillow

Ok, so like alot of my project, there is a story behind this beautiful creation...lol. My brother in law sent me a dirty text message with a picture of a pillow that was just the 'man parts' side. I thought to myself, I can crochet this..its not like I havent crocheted body parts before. I did give it a different twist by adding a 'girls part' side. This way when I give it as a gift to my brother in law and his wife, it'll have a side for each of them to enjoy. :). I laughed so much making this...and I cant wait until I get to give it to my brother in law and his wife
