The Patriotic Hair Accessories

I crocheted these Hair Clips with the 4th of July in my mind.

The bow has a alligator clip hot glued to it and the flowers have snap clips.

The Head Band is also crocheted in the honor of the 4th of July, and I'm thinking of another version of this Head Band with crochet Stars instead of buttons.

The Skull Hair Band

I was asked to make a Skull Hair Band instead of a Hair Clip that I had made at a previous time.

The Hair Band matches the black hair and will be coordinated with a black bikini, so I have been told.

I used double crochet stitch for this band, sew on buttons for adjustability, and coordinated all the colors to black and white.

The Soccer Sweater/Cardigan

This is my second sweater, it is meant for a boy of 12-18 months.

Since this boy is a european boy, I embellished the sweater with a soccer ball theme. I put 4 buttons in the front, unlike the 3 buttons for the girl sweater, since this one is a little bigger.

I also put a soccer ball on the front, but in the lower corner because it was bigger then the flower on the girls sweater. I am thinking of making a beanie that goes along with this sweater and also will have the soccer ball applique.

The Bow

I tried to make a very simple bow hair clip, I'm sure I will try out more different things with this, but this is my first.

Of course it is Mavericks colors, gotta support that team!

I hot glued it unto the clip, I like this one better then the snap clip. It is perfect since the bow is much bigger then the flower clip.

The Hair Clip Flower

I finally put my flowers on actual hair clips, instead of bobby pins, those always slipped out of my hair. This one is my LA LAKERS flower.

One of my friends makes hair clips with really big bows and I asked her how she attaches them to the hair clip, she suggested hot glue.

This one is my MAVERICKS colored flower, I have been wearing this one for the NBA Finals support. GO MAVS! GO DIRK! :)

The Baby Girl Sweater/Cardigan

After I finished my co-workers baby girl gift set, I thought I could have made a sweater along with the other things, if I only had enough time. But who says I can't still make one?

It didn't take long to find a easy pattern to try this out, and after I put everything together it already started to look adorable.

I sewed on the corners of the sides to make it look less squared, added a few purple buttons, and of course the flower, and done.

This is going to be available on www.etsy.com/shop/dunawaycrafts along with the headband, shoes, and bib.

The Baby Girl Gift Set #1

This all started with the booties, I was asked by a co-worker to make some cute little baby girl booties in pink for a baby shower she has to go to this weekend. After a while of non-stop looking for a nice pattern and procrastinating, I found something I really liked and hoped my co-worker and future mother would too.

After I showed her the booties, she added a bib request in the same color. So I went online for a easy and quick pattern, since the baby shower was only 3 days away.

The next day she asked for a headband with a flower, like the one I made for the dolls before. 2 days before the baby shower I was sitting on the couch and crocheting the headband, making flowers and still had no idea on how I would make the booties close.

Today, 1 day before the baby shower, I learned how to make flowers and added those right away to the booties, bib, and headband, and I think it really made it all look even better. This set would fit a 3-6 month old.
