Christmas In July Missy69 Etsy, Item 1: Soft Variegated Baby Boy Crochet Blanket

So, if you were following along, I didn't do so great blogging in June. My life has been crazy since April, and I sure am hoping by the end of July it will slow down a little, and be more normal. For the month of July, I am running a Christmas in July sale. There are 14 items marked down, and they center around Christmas, or cold weather. For example, this lovely baby blanket, handmade crochet with baby soft yarn in variegated blues and greens. A lot of time goes into a crochet project, and often people don't realize how much love is put into a crocheted item. Crocheted items last for years, are super warm, even the lighter yarns, and can be handed down from generation to generation. Visit my Etsy store to see this beautiful baby blanket, and maybe purchase too.  I can't make the link thing work on my Nextbook, so go to Etsy and search Missy69, and  you will find my shop.  I will fix the link asap.

My First Newborn Diaper Cake

I finally finished my first newborn baby diaper cake. I have wanted to make one of these forever. I think I will do more of these. Though challenging to figure out how to get it all together, so is stays together, it was a lot of fun! All the items, with the exception of the Huggies Pooh Bear diapers, and the baby toy, were hand crocheted by me. The set includes 35 size 1 Huggies diapers, one white and orange baby blanket, that makes up the outside of the cake, 2 bibs, two hats, and four wash cloths. Plus the toy rattle. The items are either white, orange, or white and orange together, so it is definitely a unisex item. To see more images, or to purchase, please visit my Etsy store.

Day 27: Summer Loving #30DOC

Only three days left of the challenge, and I am not sure how much I will get done the next three days. So much going on. The baby blanket I have been working on, is now about half done, and you can see that right below. I love the stitch. It will have a polar bear on it and a polar bear hat when completed. Or at least that is my goal. I made my first Etsy team treasury that I have done in a while. Like I said very busy. I am counting it for today because these treasuries are creative and take some time to put together. You can see some of the items below. There are a few that do not come up, but please visit this link to see all the other lovely items in the treasury.

Bunnies and a New Baby Blanket Day 22

We have a wild bunny in the neighborhood. Caitlin saw it last week, and I saw it a few weeks ago. This morning it was hopping around in the neighbor's yard. We got some pictures of it, seen below. I am not sure why it is hanging out here, there are a ton of dogs and cats. We do have a rabbit, inside a room in the garage, but he is four and never attracted bunnies before. I just don't want to see it get eaten. I started a new baby blanket. The square below shows the pattern design. I have to make 15 of those squares. So far I have made 2, lol. It will take me some time to finish this one.
