Crochet Baby Bib

Crochet baby bib is a great baby shower gift for a that special little princess.  

 

With all the February Love inspiration, along with all the January babies, these precious bibs come to mind. You can find a similar pattern for this adorable baby bib on Ravelry by Sonea Delvon

Mine is winged, but was inspired by Sonea's beautiful idea, and shared by Moogly Blog in the crochet baby round up.

February also inspires us to color and paint 💖

I love my children 💖

(drawing above was done in 2014)

💖 Happy Valentine's 💖

May you have lots of LOVE and JOY! 

Best wishes, and happy crocheting!!

Crochet Mandala Tiles

 ~ Decorative Crochet Mandalas to match Kitchen Tiles ~

 ⁕ ⁕ ⁕  Crochet Mandalas   ⁕ ⁕ ⁕

Crochet project inspired by kitchen tiles. 

These handmade tiles from the 80's have a sort of eclectic southwestern feel, and inspired me to crochet something to match.  

Hobby Lobby, "I Love This Yarn",  has these great colors that match very closely to the colors in the tiles and I couldn't be happy with how they turned out. They hang nicely on the walls in the kitchen as decoration.

This project reminds me of how you can draw inspiration from so many things around you in life.

Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes and happy crocheting!
