Preemie Beanies and Tooth Fairy Pouches!

It's been a long time since I've put up anything new on my blog.  That's because I primarily use my Crochet by Sheri page on Facebook.  But I have had many new items I've added.  The following are preemie button beanies for the boys and preemie rose beanies for the girls.  The following preemie beanies are going to be donated to a NICU on California in memory of one special little baby boy who had a short life, but was loved by his parents very much.  He received a few of my hats to keep his head warm....don't know his parents, but their story touched my heart.

And then these are my original tooth fairy pouch designs.  Funny story as to how I came up with this idea.  I didn't have anything for my son when he lost his first tooth, but he also literally LOST his first tooth.  He was crushed because "the tooth fairy can't come now".  So I made a special pouch to hang on the door (for "sneaky easy access" so that the tooth fairy wouldn't have trouble finding it), a larger back pocket to put notes to/from the tooth fairy or dollar bills, and a small white tooth pocket in the front that holds the tooth or coins.  I had a little too much fun coming up with my original tooth fairy pouch design, haha!

Baby Boy Barefoot Sandal

I'm excited to debut my first baby boy barefoot sandal design.  I just came up with the football pattern with a few trials and errors and it all came together.  I was going to try doing a solid/seamless strap in the back of the heel, but to be honest doing a tie will help it fit for a long time...so I'd consider this size newborn to 6 months, possibly 9 months depending on how chubby the foot might be.  More designs to come, but wanted to share this one.  As a mother of boys, I know how horrible it is to find cute things for them!

Koala hat w/ detachable pink bow

So I finally got a pic of the koala hat showing that it can be for a boy or girl.  And in this one, "it's a girl!" and I'm just thrilled to see how it turned out.  Thank you to Kera Cervoni Photography for sharing this photo with me!

My Fun Foot Fashion For Babies

 I've always been inspired by the cute look of ballet slippers with the ties...so here's my idea of some cute slippers braided yarn ties and 3 pearls in the front.

 Baby flip flops with stretchy strap around the heel.

 This picture doesn't do these sandals justice.  Done in a deep black with a "roman style" heel and ties that happen on the outer sides for the ankles.  Then, lots of pretty pearls across the strap.  These are comfy, but very dressy looking.

 Lil loafers done in a light blue w/ taupe trim and button closure.

 My favorite baby loafers in a fun yellow and charcoal gray trim.  This pair has wooden buttons for the closure.

 Another example of a "Roman style" sandal, but the ties are mean for the bows to be in the front, center.  Cute little purple flower and pearl center for the straps.

This is navy w/ gray color combo, lil loafers in a 3-6 month size this time.
All of these were recently added last night to my little collection at Pin-Up Curls hair salon off of Covington Rd.  These were so much fun to make.  Wish I could have babies again in order to try out all of my crochet stuff....but they somehow grew to 4 and 6 years old, a little late now:o(

My new BOOT CUFF design!!

I am very proud of my latest 2-in-1 design!!  It is adjustable by the feminine bow tie at the top in order to be worn as a boot cuff.....or as an ankle cuff--a cute little extension of a high heel or flat shoe.  The gray ones happen to have a couple buttons for that extra touch.  These are considered a "short" length, but I will be trying a longer version soon.   Did I mention how much fun I'm having?
