Beach Babe shorts I got to test YAY!!!

I was lucky enough to be able to test these shorts for Etaria. They are called Beach Babe shorts and the pattern is on Crochet Garden. The top pair is size 5 the bottom pair is size four.
Here are my two youngest god daughter's modeling these lovely shorts in which they look cute. Of course my god son had to get in the pic as well lol.
Here are the shorts from behind. I told Sierra who is six but a tiny six that when she wears these shorts do not wear yellow panties b/c you can see them lol. I should've tested the top b/c now I need a top to match. The yarn I used is Bernat Cottontots in Strawberry and Very Berry and a size H hook. This cotton yarn is awesome, I'm glad I was able to test them, thank you Etaria.

I Was RAOK'D!!!!

Okay I was not expecting a box two days ago, but there was a knock at the door and me and my puppy went to the door. I said who is it and the reply was Fed Ex. Well I wasn't expecting anything from them but I opened the door anyway and the guy handed me this big box. I thanked him and closed the door. Wondering what it was I was excited and so was my puppy Chewie, and as soon as I opened the box he jumped in it and started to dig:
I forgot that his breed Jack Russell Terriers were bred as hunting dogs so of course his first instinct was to dig. I had to pull him out so I could see what I got from my FGM who is in Alabama.
It's hard to see it but the card says: You've been RAOK'D! I was so happy I got 18 skeins of Caron Simply Soft and 7 skeins of Peaches n Cream. I love Caron SS I make alot of my god daughter's things out of it, it's so shiny and soft I love it. I just started crocheting with the Peaches n Cream cotton yarn and I love it so I have to buy more.
Here's a better picture without the card just look at all my yummy yarn I'm drooling just looking at the pics and looking at the yarn in my room*sounding like Homer* Yarn mmmmmmmm lol.
Of course my Chewie couldn't be left out so he had to get in the last pic which once again hewas trying to dig but once he got in there he noticed there was no where to dig so right after this shot he grabbed one of my Peache's n Cream skeins and tried to run with it. He is now 3 mos. old and very active let me tell ya. Thank you so much FGM I love ya lots.

Two patterns I got to test: Pretty in Pink and Bella Flora

This one is called 'Pretty in Pink' Halter but of course it is in purple. This took harldy any time at all and was a pretty easy pattern to follow.
Here is my youngest god daughter with it on. I don't know why I thought it wouldn't fit her lol I forget how tiny she is.
And here is the back of the halter. I loved making this halter, I may make her more in different colors. Thanks hmcquigg a.k.a. Heidi for letting me test this top.
Here is the second pattern I got to test. It is called 'Bella Flora' and it just so happens that the baby who is getting this dress is named Isabella and her family calles her Bella, what a coincidence lol. This dress is made with Sugar n Cream and this is the first time I ever crocheted anything with cotton yarn. I sewed the middle of the flower on the dress as well as the petals so it won't shrivel after it get's washed. It turned out great and I will be using more cotton yarn in the future.
Here is the back of it with the buttons. Had I made this in pink I would've had pink buttons but I have so much purple yarn and cotton yarn I felt this is a good way to use up this yarn. This was very quick and easy and I hope to test patterns again. Thanks for letting me test this Nikki it was fun and great. I had fun testing both of these patterns.

Lucys' set is done

Okay here is the full outfit I made for Lucy.
Here it is with the skirt up showing the shorts up underneath it.
And here she is with the outfit on and I love that the skirt is right to her knees.
Now here sheis showing just the skirt( and she has the cutest little belly button lol)
Now here she is showing what the shorts look like while she has the outfit on. The shorts I got the pattern from Michelles' blog, 'Momma Wear'. I just added elastic instead of a drawstring b/c Lucy is one to wait until the last minute to go potty so elastic is much better for her. The Halter top I got the pattern on Crochetville by a wonderful lady named Charlene. The pattern is called Summer Breeze Halter. The skirt is basically the same pattern as the halter so I can't claim it as my own. I am currently working on another outfit for her six year old sister except it will be in purple. They both can't wait until next week b/c I told them they can wear their outfits when I take them to see Shrek 3.

Here is another Baby girl set I done

This is my second set I've done. This set is going to my friend in Cali for her baby girl Isabella. This is the set from the Crotiques website. The booties is also from the same site and the pattern is called 'Sockies'. Instead of the cuffs I did a shell edging. The headband is a modified version of the ribbed flower headband pattern on there, but that is the normal flower used.
