Blue shark do do do...

https://www.etsy.com/pl/listing/1018240940/crochet-pattern-no-2107-blue-shark?ref=listing_published_alert

Crochet shark is around 30 cm (11.8 inches) tall. He is very nice and friendly looking despite the sharp teeth.

The project was very fun and fast to make, once you will make the big body the rest will go smoothly and quickly.

I hope you will all enjoy it as much as I did.

Giraffe with love/heart :)

I have made this cute, chubby giraffe for my baby daughter – she loves all the plushies, especially the big ones – Giraffe, when standing is 30 cm (11.8 inches) tall, it is in a bright yellow color that catches the baby’s eyes, even when around other plushies. On the left side of the giraffe is the one special spot/dot in shape of heart, symbol of my love to my daughter, she can’t even recognize it now, but I love this little touch.

Pirate booties - new photos

Today I rolled my house upside down in search of pirate booties. As You may guested I found them in most obvious place that I probably looked like 5 times before :) Anyway I was looking for them to make some more pictures and couldn't stop myself to share one of them with You. I love how they look on these cute chubby Leon's feet. 

Leon is now 7 months old so I need to make a correction the booties fit the babies 0 to probably 8 months. He was extremely interested in them as soon as I put them on his feet and let me tell You it was hard to make the photo and even harder to make a focused one, but we did it. We are so tired now that my son is asleep and I am writing this post :)

Let me remind anyone who is interested in the free pattern for those pirate booties can find them here:
