There’s this adorable crocheted baby mobile hanging in Griffin’s nursery, and it was so easy and fun to make! Here’s a tutorial and free patterns so you can make it, too. Here’s how I did it: I made 8 large star appliques and 8 mini ones (both of which are free patterns on my blog). [...]
Here is a super cute pattern for the littlest people in our lives – an owl blanket lovey! I love the pattern for the blanket because it looks like it has little dots all throughout. Each row could be a different color if you’d like a multi-colored blanket, but I kept it to two colors [...]
I’m always on the look-out for good quality and affordable cloth diapers and they aren’t easy to find. In my Complete Cloth Diapering Guide, I write about several brands I’ve tried already, but I hadn’t tried Smarty Pants brand of both cloth diapers and training pants for toddlers. They have super cute patterns and are [...]
Every new baby needs a special, homemade welcome into the world and this crochet mitered granny square blanket is the perfect pattern! You can use any variety of colors to give it a unique look, making the geometric and graphic pattern really pop. There’s a precious, brand-spankin-new little bundle in our house these days, and I just [...]
Isn’t it amazing how such tiny people require so much STUFF? At least, the bigger they get the less stuff they require, but it’s much more expensive stuff. If you are pregnant and planning to nurse your baby, here is my recommended list of must-have stuff to survive and make breastfeeding a little easier. Just [...]
If you were like me when I was pregnant with my first, I was totally overwhelmed with what I needed to buy for the creature that was making my belly quite round (not to mention a few other parts!). Reading through review after review made me go cross-eyed and I found that what I really wanted and [...]
Making hats for babies, and especially newborns, is so satisfying because they go so quickly and they look precious on those little heads. In anticipation of our third baby boy, I’ve made a layette set that includes this hat, and here is the free crochet pattern so you can enjoy it, too, in preemie and [...]
Here’s a super simple recipe for a baby shampoo that’s 100% natural, organic, safe and easy to make with a free printable! No sodium lareuth or lauryl sulfate, parabens or other preservatives or anything unprounceable. To get a shampoo like this in the store, you’d have to pay a good $10 or $15 bucks for [...]
Here is a pattern for an uber-soft, ribbed, organic cotton baby cocoon that I made. I chose to make this one differently than most of the patterns you’ll see. Most are made like a very long, upside-down hat. This one is made as a rectangle, sew together, then crochet the base on at the end. [...]
I’m starting off the week with another episode of Merry Messy Monday! This helps keep me thankful and positive since Mondays can be long and rough as a SAHM, and record memories of my family for the future. Hopefully it will also bring a smile to your face. This week was a messy one, with [...]
