Lily's Berry Hat
A friend of mine had a baby last month, a sweet little girl. And doesn't every little girl need a berry hat to keep them warm and snuggly through the winter snow?

Tractors and Gingerbread Men
The other day I posted this ballerina I made for a little friend of mine. Today I'm showing off the ornaments I made for her brothers.
I had originally planned to make a train ornament for the older boy. Then I asked him if he likes trains or trucks better.
And he said trucks.
As I was rethinking my plans, I noticed he played with tractors almost the whole time I was there. A tractor it was!
It's unbelievably difficult to find a cute pattern for a felt tractor. In fact, I couldn't find one at all. But I did find a few inspirations that gave me a place to start for drawing my own pattern. I'm pretty pleased with the end result.
For the five-month-old I wanted to make a baby's 1st Christmas ornament, but I couldn't find very many baby boy ornament ideas that were cute. I decided to go with an old favorite and make a Christmas stocking with a gingerbread man on it. Not particularly baby-ish but very, very cute.
Have a very Merry Christmas full of blessings as you celebrate the birth of our Lord!

You Can Never Have Too Much Pink
I babysit a precious little girl who loves ballerinas, so when I discovered this cute ballerina on Pinterest one day I decided I wanted to make her one as a Christmas ornament.
You may notice that the blog is not in English... It took me a few minutes to find the pattern, but I did find it here. (And then discovered the "translate" button, haha)
Here's my ballerina:
The bead flower in her hair and her tulle tutu make her somewhat 3D, which I really like. And instead of having a solid background there is actually a back of her body. She turned out so well, I almost wanted to keep her and make another one for my little friend. Almost. ;)
I hope she'll love her as much as I do! Next the ornaments for her little brothers...
