little lady bug costume

this is the back of the lady bug costume i made my sweet little baby.

the hat that goes with it is a basic hat pattern in red yarn and you crochet in black around 2 pipe cleaners and attach it for the attenas.

here's the pattern which could probably be used as a bib too. fits 6-12 months.

granny square baby blanket

I made this blanket for baby Levi, its made with baby yarn and a size J hook. i used light blue and green together for one row and a slightly darker green and lighter blue for the other row. followed by white and white with small sections of green and blue. It only took about 3 hours to make so I really like this pattern. Next up is a pink one like this :)
