Toddler Infinity Scarf

I just wanted to post a little brag. Just a little one.

The other night I was messing around with some yarn scraps and ended up making a scarf for my little J. It only took a movie or two of crocheting, and it turned out so well!

I wish I could share the tutorial with you, but I don't know how to write a crochet tutorial. I can tell you I made a circle with a chain stitch that I thought would be a good size and then kept going around and around with a double crochet stitch until I got the width I wanted.

It has a really great infinity twist to it. I honestly have no idea how I did that little twist, but its great!  The colors are really nice and unisex so my kiddos can share if J ever gives it up. He loves it and I am so glad! He goes around  proudly declaring "Mommy make starf for J!" It warms my heart every time he asks to wear it.

Happy Friday!

Xoxo,

Awesome Gifts for Little Ones - A Gift Guide

This post was supposed to go out last night, but yesterday was so crazy in my house that it (along with the dishes left in my sink) didn't happen. So to make up for it, and to keep on track with posting 25 Christmas posts, I will be posting two posts today. Look out for some awesome Christmas ideas!

Finding the perfect gift for almost anyone can be a challenge. Especially when we are stressed out and going in a million different directions. Decorating, baking, partying, hosting, planing, and shopping? Whew, i'm exhausted just thinking about it all. Who has tie to go out to get gifts? Not I, thats for sure. So, I decided to put together a little gift guide. I already posted a gift guide for the Craftster in your life and I'm hoping to get a few more up by the end of the holiday.

This gift guide is specifically for that special little person in your life. The little boy or girl between 0 and 5 years old. Most of these gifts can be found on Etsy, some are from Amazon. For the most part you can order these online and sit back and wait for the package to arrive at your door. So easy! Just like shopping should be.
