It started innocently enough.  I simply wanted to crochet some pumpkin hats for my kids, but, before I knew it, I was HOOKED!

While I have not given up the hope of returning to quilting someday, at this point, it’s just too dangerous to have Baby Tad in the craft room with me while I’m sewing.  The iron, rotary cutters, scissors, etc., etc. pose too much of a temptation for my busy boy.  Fortunately, crocheting is portable and can be done on the couch while he plays with safer toys.  It’s also a wonderful way to pass the time while waiting for Ariana at piano lessons.

After much experimentation and searching, I’ve found my absolute FAVORITE pattern for the most perfect little baby booties.  I even came up with my own little flower embellishment for this sweet pair that, coupled with a little flower headband, are going to a baby shower tonight.
