Accessories for the New Girl

Since The Baby Girl's ever-growing tiny head has outgrown all her little headbands she needed something to match her dress for church on Sunday. (Heaven forbid she go un-accessorized!)



This little flower was the perfect size for her little head and it didn't distract from her darling little face. One of these days I'll get a picture of her wearing the flower that matches the dress - before she grows out of it - don't hold your breath.

110 in the Shade

I've been working on a few hat patterns this week (yes, I realize it's JULY, and it's been a balmy 110 degrees here in my desert neighborhood). This Brown Beanie was quick and easy thanks to some fun, chunky yarn. Too bad this color has been discontinued! At least I was able to get two beanies out of one skein of yarn.




I think the flower turned out especially cute.

Baby Version 2.0

Well, my new baby girl is over three months old now, so she isn't so new anymore (although she still has that new baby smell!)

Even though we've moved to a little apartment in Los Angeles County in a state we affectionately refer to as "Can't-afford-ya" - it doesn't mean that this new-ish bundle of joy doesn't deserve her own space.




The Toddler (her brother) - who just turned 3 (so, I guess he's no longer a Toddler) has a wall full of Iron letters that spell out his name. Since the two of them have to share a room (I know, what a drag for The Baby Girl to share with her Brother) I figured they each needed their own "space."



On my weekly grocery outing to Wally World - I have a love/hate relationship with them, damn their low prices and convenient one stop shopping - I found these little black frames for $1.00 each. Perfect! I perused the fonts in word until I found one I liked, printed out the letters in my sweet baby's name, attached some ribbon and hung them from a curtain rod I had lying around.

Here's how it turned out...





I think the overall look is cute. It has a "Mobile" feel to it. I'm not crazy about the thin pink ribbon - I may have to get my hands on more of the wide stuff and swap it out.



That Tutu looks a little lonely hanging there all by itself. I think these little shoes:



That (until last week) fit these little toes:



might be hanging across that bar before long.
