Peonie Sun Hat

Picked up a sun hat to embellish, since we're spending lots of time outside this summer and getting plenty of sun. We're all sporting a good tan already. Baby Girl reminds me of the girl figures on an embroidered quilt that my mom is currently working on.

It's working wonders for keeping the sun out of her eyes - the scrunched face is because she knows I'm keeping her away from the pool by giving her veggie fries. (Big Brother was doing swim lessons....and she's such a fish.)

Pill-Box Creation

Took some time to myself last night to play with some new yarn. I began attempting to figure out a crocheted hat that I had picked up for Baby Girl ($15 at BRU). However, the yarn I used was quite a bit thicker and my stitches much tighter. So I decided to ditch the machine-assembled model and just create.

A little more "pill-box" shaped than intended, but it rounds out nicely when put on.

Finished it off with a crocheted rose & ribbon flower.

Leaps & bounds from my first hat creation (see "helmet-like, we need a hat while on vacation creation" below).... it's a little big, but will fit her nicely come this fall / winter.
