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!



What a Busy Week!

I have been a busy bee this week with my crochet work. I got a great order for some photo props that I am super proud of! I made a long tail elf hat, pea outfit, football hat and diaper cover, a photo hammock, and a stork pouch. I am so pleased with the outcome of all of them! I will have professional pictures soon but here are a couple I took myself.

So today I decided I was just going to take it easy and give my hands a rest...that didn't last too long! I made another hat, because, well, they are fast and easy and I have about a MILLION hat ideas :) I decided to make a koala hat. Here is the finished product!

Isn't it cute???? I was thinking of adding a bow or flower if for a girl and then making a version with earflaps for older kids and adults. I will have all of these items up in my Etsy shop soon, but the elf hat, football hat, and koala hat are already on there! Go check it out chloebmccrary.etsy.com. Happy crafting all!
