Modern Baby Boots

I have been busy lately! I have a teething 5 month old and an almost 3-year old with lots of questions. :) 
I am working on a few special crochet projects at the moment, but am still trying to find some spare time to design patterns for my shop.
Here is one I made this afternoon while the kids were napping. Hope you like them!

Ode to Winter

Fabulous 4-Hour Cloche - Pre-Teen to Adult
Here is a lovely hat for winter which I designed recently. It is hot and humid here, but I hear many in the USA and Canada are enjoying blizzards, so I thought I'd post something winter-related. :) Stay warm!!

Amigurumi Butterfly

Let me introduce you to a new little friend...
Holland's new toy was the result of a custom design request to make a butterfly based on the print on some bedding being used in a nursery. He turned out pretty cute and Holland just loves him. :)

My First Handbag

Knit-Look Crocheted Handbag
Here is my very 1st handbag design! That being said, I don't know if there will be a 2nd handbag design, but there may be, as I am quite pleased with how this one turned out! Bag measures 18" wide at the bottom, 10" wide at the top and 10.25" tall.

Back to Business

Holland at Beachcomber Island, Nadi, Fiji
We arrived home from Fiji on Monday afternoon after a very lovely 2 weeks away. What a wonderful time we had and what a great place to visit! I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't been there...assuming you like hot weather, sun, blue water and sandy beaches. :)
Holland enjoyed lots of swimming and playing at the beach. And Madison learned to smile while in Fiji! :) We had such a lovely time, we are happily anticipating our next weekend getaway.
