PLEASE VISIT MY ETSY SHOP AT www.hannanabananas.etsy.com.

I am having a sale on the quilts that I have ready to go!

Warm Wuzzie in Beautiful Aqua

AHHHHH I just finished this sweet little warm wuzzie yesterday afternoon. I just love it! I think any baby, whether a boy or a girl would look so sweet and toasty in it! I am just listing it in my Etsy shop right now, but couldn't resist posting some pictures of it here. I love the sheen to this baby yarn. I am not usually a fan of baby yarn but Bernat has this one...Softee Baby which is pleasant to work with. I ran two strands to keep it thick and squishy!

I only wish my little one was still small enough to fit into this one! Ah, maybe the next baby. I will have to make another one!

Welcome Warm Wuzzie!

Hi again!

I am really excited about the last little project I hooked up in the last few days. Remember my baby snug? Well I changed it a little and called it something else. It's now my little Warm Wuzzie. This one pictured here is the most recent one with I embellished with some pom poms made to look like dandelions. Isn't it sweet? The body is made of worsted weight, acrylic, dark brown yarn. The embellishments are done in a soft yellow, and medium green. I am pleased with how it turned out.

It should fit a baby anywhere from Newborn to 4 months. After that good luck keeping a little wiggle worm in there! That's why I had to roll up a blanket inside...there's no way my baby would fit or sit still!

I will like post a tutorial later showing you the basic steps to the Warm Wuzzie. I am thinking of submitting my pattern to Crochet Pattern Central which is a website I love. I highly recommend it if you are a crochet lover looking for patterns. They are all there, and they are FREE!

Anyway this little number is now FOR SALE for $30.00.

Keep Them Warm!

Babies love to be swaddled up in a soft blanket as they sleep. However, as they are able to move their limbs more, it can be hard to keep the blanket wrapped snuggly around them. So as I was roaming the internet one day I thought of other ways to keep baby cozy and warm. I am working on fashioning a sewing pattern for this purpose as well...but I have come up with a crochetted item that was super easy to make.

A baby cocoon is a great item to put your baby it. They are warm, cozy, and oh-so-cute. I found a number of patterns online, but none that I was super excited about because they didn't include a hood. Most patterns are a sack to put baby in with a matching hat. They are cute too, but I what I really wanted to make was one with a head cover too.

So I came up with this pattern myself using a combination of patterns or skills that I have used before. The bottom half part is crochetted in rounds, then the top is stitched in rows and sewn together.

I am really happy with how it turned out since I put the idea together myself. Maybe someone out there as come up with a similar pattern, but I haven't found it yet.

I made the one pictured about for my friend whose baby was just born a few days ago. I hope she fits it and is able to use it.

I am going to play with this design a little more and look at aways to improve it. I hope you like it so far though. I call it Snug.

Babies

I have to say that I love babies! I always have. But there is one special baby that I love the MOST and that is my son who is almost 5 months old.

When I was pregnant I started to work on sewing and crocheting things for him. I made him a crib blanket, cribskirt, curtains, receiving blankets, etc and that cute little touque. Having him inspired me to make baby things and I love it.

Childrens patterns and fabric are so much fun. It makes me feel good just to look at all the bright colors and soft touch fabric.

He is the most special thing to me in the whole world. I love him so much.

Soon I will post more of the baby items I have made. Hopefully as I get going here I will be able to make more baby things. I have some ideas in mind for new items as well.

Touques For Babies Too

One thing that I have really enjoying making in the last few months is a touque for my little baby. He looks sooo cute in it.

I was visiting my mom one afternoon, and of course the baby is whisked out of my arms so she can kiss him 1 million times (her first grand-baby). So my hands were free. I dug through her yarn and within about 1 hour I had this beautiful little hat done. I just tried something from my head. I didn't use any specific pattern. I love the way it turned out. The ribbing makes it more textured and unique looking and regular weight yarn (not baby yarn) keeps it warm. The little extra bulk I think makes it even cuter.

Since then I have made one for a friend whose baby was just born a few days ago. I used the same design as the blue one, but I added a purple flower. It looks adorable.

Oh I have to give credit to a dear friend, Lindsay, who took the photo of Cody and I. She as a wonderful talent for taking beautiful pictures and is very creative when it comes to scrapbooking (her passion). You can see more of her beautiful photography at www.lindsaydawnesthoughts.blogspot.com.
