Long overdue break

Once again I've been absent for quite a while.
I had some nice Christmas crafts I wanted to write about, but time flew by so fast and before I knew Christmas was already there. I didn't want to post those craft projects after Christmas, so I decided to postpone them and publish those before next Christmas :))
Also our baby's naptimes were very short a couple of months ago, so there was no time for me to do any crafting not to mention taking photos and writing about it.
Anyways, now I'm back with some nice summery projects and some home-related posts to be published soon.
Hope you enjoy!

Flower headbands

Hi everybody!

I decided to make some cute headbands for our little princess. For the band I used some stretchy lace ribbon and also some jersey fabric. I crocheted some of the decorative flowers and stitched together some fabric for the others.

I used THIS pattern to make these small pink flowers. After crocheting them I stitched them on the lace ribbon and voilà the headband is ready :))

For this crochet flower I used the instructions from HERE. I should have dip the flower to water and pin it to let it dry, then it would have stretched a bit and would look more clean and structured like the one in the instructions. I don't mind it looking a bit floppy though ;P I attached a button in the middle of the flower and stitched the whole thing to the charcoal jersey.

For these flowers I just ruffled some lace fabric, attached some white buttons and stitched them to the lace ribbon. I think this is my favorite of the four headbands I made :))

And last but not least for this flower I used some linen fabric (the leftovers from the bridesmaid dresses that I made for our wedding), ruffled it a bit, attached a button (again ;P) and stitched it to the lace ribbon. Note that she is currently eating one of the headbands ;P

I just had to include this picture in the post because she looks so adooorably chubby on this picture ;D

I hope you're having a beautiful day!

Owl Hat(s)

I wanted to make a cute beanie for our little princess and decided to continue with the owl theme :))
I've actually already made two of these (and the third one is almost done), because she grows so fast that the first one doesn't fit anymore and the second one probably won't fit soon either ;P
I bought the pattern for this hat here but if i would have found this tutorial first i would have definitely used that one :))

I think she looks absolutely adorable with the owl hat :))

 aah..and when I showed the finished product to my husband, he demanded that i would make one for him also. So i did :)) And together they look even more adorable ;D

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Owl Toy

We have kind of an owl-theme going on with our little daughter. For some reason i've been obsessed with owls, i just find them so cute :))
So I made this owl toy out of some pieces of fabric i had lying around. I decided to fill the toy with rice because now we can put it in the microwave and heat it up. That way when she goes to bed she has something warm cuddling her :))

I think i might take some of the rice out to make the toy a bit lighter, right now it's quite heavy and bulky but still so adorable ;D

Have a beautiful autumn day!

Baby Blanket

One of the thing i definitely wanted to make for our little princess was a baby blanket. So I started to look for different inspirational pictures and oh, there were so many sooo cute options but i finally found the picture below on Pinterest and used that for inspiration.

I started to make the blanket when i was pregnant and we didn't yet know if we were expecting a girl or a boy so i made the squares in different colours and when we found out that we're having a girl i used more pink ;D

 

And this is the blanket after attaching all the squares together and i also made a crochet trim around the blanket for a nice finishing touch.

And here's the blanket in use a few months ago. And isn't that the coolest baby carriage ever, it's the one that my parents got when i was a baby :))

Lots of love!
