I LOVE Flowers!

I have to say that I am so very glad I have 2 girls, and my son should be too. Because I guarantee you he would have been my model for every girly thing I've ever made. But, lucky for him, his sisters get to be guinea pigs 99% of the time.

One of my favorite things to make are fabric flowers for clips and headbands. There have to be about a hundred different styles to make them in. One of my favorites, and also one of the simplest, is what I call the Shabby Chic Flower. I found the tutorial here, along with some other really great DIY tutorials. Here are some of the ones I've created:

I love to play with different color combinations and bring in seasonal inspiration as well. These easy flowers make great gifts for girls who love to dress up their hair. They would also make great embellishments on purses, hats and even dolls!

If you're into crafting, check out the tutorial and give it a go! If you'd like to purchase one, I have several listed in my Etsy Shop, you can visit my Facebook Page, or you can send me an email at chloebmccrary@aol.com and we can get a custom one made for you!

Loop Petals Flower

I know I haven't been on in forever but I have a FREE  pattern to share with you today :) It's a really simple flower that has an open look to it. I used it on a Sock Monkey hat intended for a girl for a photographer friend of mine. So without further ado, here it is!

I used an I hook and worsted weight yarn, but you could use any hook and any yarn to get different sized flowers.

1) Ch 7, join to form a loop.
2) Ch 1, make 12 sc inside the loop, join to first sc with sl st.
3) *Ch 5, sl st in next sc, then sl st into the next sc,* repeat until you have 6 loops. Sl st to beginning of round.
4) Sc 8 times into the first petal loop then sl st to the space between petals. Repeat for the other 5 petals. Sl st to the beginning of the round. End off leaving a tail for sewing.
If you have any questions, please let me know

Here is the finished Sock Monkey hat I used the flower on. If you are interested in the hat, please check out my Etsy shop or my Facebook page! FB fans will receive FREE SHIPPING on all orders!!!

Happy Hippo :)

I made a hippo hat for my daughter this weekend and it came out great! For some reason I feel hippos should be either purple or blue when cartoonized. Since this one was for a girl I made it purple and gave it a flower. I love the combination of the purple and teal. It would look great as gray or even pink too! Check out my little model :)

I also had to remake a stork pouch. The original one I made for a photographer friend of mine ended up being too small. So I found a better pattern and whipped one up today. Here it is!

This is such a great photo prop for newborns. I love that it is see through so you can see baby toes and fingers poking out from the pouch :) I have both of these items listed in my Etsy shop if you'd like one! Go check it out! Happy Crafting Everyone!
