Baby Showers

Good morning! One of the reasons that I am so happy with crocheting again is gift giving. I don't think there's anything better to give at a baby shower than something homemade. Homemade gifts are from the heart! The price of the yarn and materials are nothing, it's the time and love put into it. 

A sweet woman that I work with is expecting her first baby and I am so happy and excited for her! Once I found out that she collected owls I knew just the thing to make. This owl obsession blanket was perfect! It was surprisingly simple to work up and did not take but maybe a week. Here's my finished product:

Remember, I promised to start taking better pictures, well that was before that. :(

The other gift was an owl lovey. I had never heard of loveys until recently (my babies aren't babies anymore) and I think they are adorable. This was my first attempt and it didn't turn out so bad, although it did take awhile to wrap my head around the amigurumi part of crocheting. But it was fun! And I can't wait to do more of it. And here's my lovey:

Again, I'll start taking better pics!
