Flower Hat

I found the pattern for this hat online. The hat is knitted and the flowe is crocheted. With a little help from a crocheting instruction guide I was able to figure out how to do the flower. It's only the second thing that I have attempted to crochet. Not too shabby if I do say so myself!
I thought the hat would be the perfect Christmas present for my sister Kathryn. Unfortunatly there was not gauge for the pattern and I didn't use the right type of yarn. So instead of getting an adult sized hat, I ended up with an infant sized hat. Fortunantly I will be getting a new niece sometime this comming week. I hope she likes the hat!!!

Purse

Michael calls this my Harry Potter purse, but I didn't mean for it to be. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but it looks pretty cool. The draw strings are actually twisted, not knitted, which is a fun addition.

Stuff for my Girl!!!

I finished the pink dress a couple of months ago. It looks really cute on her; I'm going to try to get some professional pictures taken of her in it. The baby afaghan I actually made when I was in high school and saved it to use for Samantha's baby blessing.
