Hey Friends, Let's Share!

A while back, I mentioned that I have crafting urges from time to time, and am especially a fan of yarn and yarn related projects.  Instead of typing tons of words to tell you all about why I love making things, I thought I'd just share some photos of some of my recent projects, in no particular order...

Bow Tie Bunny - Notre Dame Colors {For Baby B.}
Giraffe & Bow Tie Bunny - Mustard Yellow & Medium Blue {For Baby I.}

Guess How Much I Love You Bunny {For Baby F.}

Ladybug Slippers & Newsie Hat {For Baby F.}

Sailboat Beanie Hat {For Quincy}

Crocheted Blooms (my pattern found here)
Mrs. Giraffe {For Baby K.}
Mr. & Mrs. Giraffe {For Baby K.}
Momma Slippers {for Momma N.}

Spring/Summer Wreath {For the H-G Front Door}

Teal & Grey Giraffe {For Baby L.}


I need to point out that I only made the circles for these pillows on this next project.  My friend, Kristin, made these beautiful pillow covers and wanted to add a few crocheted circles for a splash of color.  Didn't they turn out great?!

Great layout & design, Kristin!


Special thanks to my friend, Megan, for working on these sewing projects with me... (I love Meg/Mag Time!)


Baby Shoes {For Baby K.}

Two Yards of Fabric, plus...
One Old Shirt Pulled from the Goodwill Pile, equals...
A New Summer Dress with Matching Sash! (tutorial here)


This next project I have to explain a little bit (obviously, if you've already peeked ahead at the pictures!)  I had seen a pattern of a bearded beanie for children on Pinterest, and purchased it through Etsy (find the pattern here).  I had intended to make one for Quincy, because - let's face it - it'd be adorable.  Well, it turned out to be huge.  So I put it on, and took a few photos.  Don't I make a manly lumberjack?!

Now, my question for you is: Got anything you're working on?  This doesn't have to be limited to yarn and fabric.  Do you do wood-working, glass-blowing, or design your own lampshades?  Share in the comments below!  I (and the few dozen followers of this Life, Hyphenated blog) would love to hear about it!

May your life be filled with creativity,

~M

  1. LOTS of little projects for the nursery! I've been making stuff for baby Knap's photo shoots too. :)
    I love the beard hat... cracked me up! You definitely need to make one for Quincy!! I used your flower pattern for headbands I gave to a coworker. Thanks for sharing!
