The Easter Basket set...baby blanket, booties, bonnet and dress!

I'm so glad it's all finished.  I had fun making it but I must admit the booties were a challenge.  It took three tries before I finally got it...(duh) you do have to count the stitches to get it right.  

The Baby Dress is by Beverly Button and can be found on Ravelry (here).   I really liked this pattern and it was easy to crochet too.  I modified it slightly by adding an extra round of shells on the bottom of the dress in purple rather than adding the picot edging.  I also didn't decrease the neckline either when I added the edging in purple - and I deleted the neck front ruffle.  I backed the flower with felt and sewed it on the dress with another small piece of felt placed behind the dress.   The size is newborn to three months. 

I better get this off in the mail soon as my niece is being induced on May 16th!

BOOTIES and BABIES

We received wonderful news last week...our nephew's sister is also expecting a baby! 

 I found these adorable crocheted booties photos and little princess dress photo on Flickr.  How sweet these are!

As I mentioned previously our nephew is expecting a boy, Lucas, in November.  Our niece's baby is due six months later (...we don't know the sex yet).  I think it is great the babies will be cousins so close in age.  

Now...should I try to crochet some cute little booties like these?  They are inspiring me.  I must find a pattern to try.  

Wish me luck!
