I was sick last week and my head was so clouded by my cold that I couldn't effectively study. Instead of studying I took the opportunity to do some crafting! I wanted to send Lila's cousin Amelia some Valentine inspired bows and flowers and the red and pink ones are what I came up with. With the exception of the big pink bow, all the bows and flowers I made were 2.5" wide. Lila's cousin has enough hair to have the clip in her hair without a headband, so I thought 2.5" was a good size. The larger pink bow I made for Lila and it's about 3.5" wide and I think it's a cute size on her right now. The purple satin bow with the white center is a bow that I finally made to match a dress that my mom made Lila (too bad she's already outgrown the dress!).
This hat accidentally became Lila's just before Christmas. I was making this hat as a Christmas present for Darren's mom, but it came out Lila's size instead. The next night I made the hat all over again with adjustments so it would fit Grandma T. Now Lila and her grandma have matching hats! Her grandma is pictured in her hat in the earlier post from Christmas.
This hat I made during Christmas break for my friend's new baby. I adapted it from a pattern I've used several times, although instead of a double crochet stitch I changed it to a half-double crochet stitch. In case any of my crochet savvy friends are interested, here's a link to the pattern for the brown hat I made and a link to a video for it. I just found the video for it when I googled the pattern a minute ago; seems like it might be helpful to someone!
