toy

A nice toy for a nice girl

 It may look so simple as a toy... but in fact it is one of her favourite toys! Probably due to its softness and size.

finger puppets

 so simple...

...but so cute!

Happy birthday!!!!!

 Here it is!!!!! The rest of it, as I promised!!!!

Do you like it? I have to say we had two different parties, one for friends and the other one for family, so we had to make everything twice! (Not on the same day, one on Saturday and the other on Sunday). That's why you'll see that in one picture the tablecloth is white and blue and in some other pictures it is purple. 

 

 And here all the delicatessen...

 butter biscuits

 

the cake

 some chocolates

 some fruit

 everything so sweeeeeeeet!!!!

We had such a great time (so did our friends and family and of course our baby girl!!!!).

Baby shoes

I had wanted to make them for such a long time, but I couldn't find any pattern that suited my tastes, so finally I managed to create one myself. And here you are!

  

 

I tried to write down the steps I followed, but I don't know if they are clear enough... Anyway, if you feel like trying, ask me and I will post the pattern for you.

Crochet baby hat

I have been trying to do this crochet baby hat for a long time... I had many problems with sizes, stitches, shapes... But I kept trying and finally got to this!!!!!!!

 Here's my pattern: (I think it's very easy to follow, though I spent so many days to create it!!!)

• chain 3 and join to form a ring
• chain 2, 6 half double crochets (htr/hdc) in ring, place marker
• 2 htr in each stitch until you get to the marker (you should have 12 stitches now), place marker
• 1 htc in the first stitch, 2 htc in the next, 1 htc in the next, 2 htc in the next... all around, place marker
• 1 htc in the first stitch, 1, htc in the next stitch, 2 htc in the next, 1 htc, 1htc, 2 htc... all around, place marker
• 1 htc, 1htc, 1htc, 2htc... all around, place marker
• go on like this until you reach the size you want
• when you get to the size you need (it can even be an adult size) you crochet 1htc in each stitch all around
• you have to do as many rounds like this as you need, depending on the length of the hat (in my baby hat I made about 4 or 5). During the last 2 or three rounds, you should do the following to adjust the size of the base: once you get to the marker, htc 2 sts tog and then, at the half of the round, do it again. Repeat in the last 2 or three rounds.
• To finish; dc, sl st, sl st and hide the bow

 Happy hooking!!!!!!!
