Sneak Peek + Lately

  So I have been hard at work trying to perfect my newest free pattern. This time is will be for a baby girl and it has the most darling and unique trim. It's this very trim that is prolonging the actual posting of the pattern. It has a tendency to pull the edge in tighter than is needed so I am reconfiguring the hat to accommodate this effect. In the meantime I wanted to give you peek at the hat though keep in mind it hasn't been blocked and no flower centers have been added.

  Also I am adding a couple of pics of my latest offering on Etsy. They are the most adorable baby sandals! A friend recommended I make them and I am so happy I listened. Hope you like them too!
