In addition to decluttering and organizing, here's what I've been working on this week. I have been crocheting these baby hats. The blue ones were a request from my daughter in law for her very pregnant cousin. Its hard to make these in the right size without a baby head to try them on! So I made the blue one in a newborn size and a 3 to 6 month size.
The pink one is for the baby girl expected by my step-daughter. I am going to crochet a white flower to go on the side of it. Maybe I can show the final hat next week.
I have struggled so much while teaching myself how to make these hats. I first started trying to learn about three years ago. I made some rejects and low quality hats along the way. Especially the first few! But, I've finally got a feel for how to make them and I'm ready to branch out with more designs. The internet is such a help. Without it, I probably would never have figured it out.
I'm enjoying working on these hats while watching tv with my hubby. I think one good thing about them is that I get a sense of accomplishment with fast gratification, since I can finish a hat in a couple of days, even though I only have a little bit of time to work on them.

They are adorable! Good job, Debbie.
Yours are sweet! Babies have different size heads too, I know it's tricky.
My mom crocheted 7 different caps for the 7 great grands for Christmas. They were all different and made from her yarn stash. The caps were a huge hit with the children and their parents
The hats are really cute. I especially love the pink with the edging. I'm sure the babies will get lots of use from the hats.
Impressive, Debbie.
Your hats are adorable! I've seen lots of pretty crochet patterns for hats, but I don't know how to crochet. :( I bought my MIL a book about vintage crochet projects for Christmas. I told her that I would be happy to have ANY project in the book...lol.
