Pretty Crocheted Headbands for Newborns

I am starting to use my knitting and crochet skills to make props for my photography business.  I photograph newborn babies, and I plan to make lots of blankets, headbands, hats, booties, and more!  These were some practice runs of a shell stitch baby headband with flowers to be added on.  I think they are gonna look really good!  I will probably make a lot more of these since they are so simple!  :)  Tarcil seemed to like the flowers the best.  :)

Beginnings of Gryffindor Scarf

I have finally started on the project that I planned to do all along with these beautiful colors!  I am make a Gryffindor scarf!  This is probably going to take me a long time to make, but I wanted to show you the start of it!  I had to learn how to knit in the round for this project.  In other words, this will be a tube shaped scarf with open ends until I add tassels, which is the very last step.  Tarcil likes to see my progress!  :)

Cutie

It can be difficult to look this cute on a Monday morning, but Tarcil manages quite well.  Haha.  :)

Jewelry

I don't own or wear a lot of jewelry, but everything I do have is significant to me in some way or another.  This little box that I keep jewelry in was from my grandma who has passed away.  The heart necklace is from my husband during a time when we didn't have much money, but he still felt it was important to get me something nice for Christmas.  I took a metalsmithing class in college and one of my projects was making that ring.  It was a long process, but I love the ring!  The ring on the right I bought when I was about 13 on a family vacation to Canada.  These three pieces of jewelry are just about all I ever wear other than my wedding and engagement rings.  :)

 Make sure to check back here tomorrow for a special announcement!!!  :)

Time-Life Photography Books

I was recently contacted by a couple who I got to know because they are friends of my parents.  They are moving and therefore getting rid of stuff.  This set of photography books by Time-Life was on their list of things to get rid of.  They weren't asking much for this set and I was completely enthralled by them as soon as I saw them so of course I bought them!  Tarcil thought maybe these books could teach him photography.  Haha!  Silly hamster!  :)

Gryffindor Headband

I said after making the Gryffindor cup cozy that there would be more projects in these colors.  Well, this headband was my next project.  I used this as a way to practice a new knitting technique and to be able to see the way it would look.  In other words, this is a test piece for a bigger project that will be coming.  :)  Tarcil seemed disappointed that this headband is too big for his head.  He looks so cute trying to make it work though!  :)
