Newborn Penguin Crochet Outfit
Kids and Babies
I got my start as a designer in the photography prop industry. It was soon after I had my first son I loved anything newborn related. By the time I had my second son, I had such a passion for newborn photography that I had become a newborn photographer. While I no longer take photography clients, I still enjoy designing newborn props. It's also nostalgia for when mine were so little. If I could reverse time, I would put my baby boys in this cuddly Newborn Penguin Crochet Outfit outfit. You don't have to be little to enjoy this penguin stuffy! He is cute for holiday decor or to just have around. And of course, I think he makes a great gift for all ages.
Pig Baby Rattle
Kids and Babies
"It's Cute. It's Pink. It's a crochet pig rattle! Sigh. This guy just gives me so much joy! Those chubby pointy ears.. the sleepy eyes… Ever since I made the cow, fox and hippo rattles, I've been wanting to design a pig rattle. Pigs are just so stinking cute. Then, I found this Bernat Super Value color that reminds me of a big juicy berry. The skein was intended for another project… but then that little pig rattle… well.. it just wanted to be made! So earlier this week, I ditched all my other crochet plans and crocheted this little guy up! Isn’t he a cutie?!"
