Mary Jane baby booties!!!!

I have been super busy making stuff for my mother (gifts for a lady she works with) I have made a shell beanie, granny square baby blanket, and baby booties!!!!!!! I found these booties on Ravelry.com. It's free to sign up, and they have lots of patterns for you're use. now the lady who posted her pattern on Ravelry she ask us(us as in us who used her pattern) not to write out the pattern on a webpage,  but to share the link. so here is the link for these super duper cute little booties!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dainty Mary Jane's. these booties are so easy to make they are crocheted in one peace so there is no breaking the yarn until the very end! Now as I was making these I loved how they looked with out putting the strap on....But they are cute with them on as well as off!

(these flowers are in the pattern as well) 

I hope you love these booties as much as I do!

granny square baby blanket

Now I know I already shared a granny square!!! But this is just one of the many things you can do with the granny square! And I was asked by my mom to make a blanket for some she works with who is having a girl! so I gave a lot of thought on to what type of blanket to make and what would be the quickest to crochet up. and the granny square seems like it would be the quickest. I used all red heart super saver in: coffee cafe (brown), baby pink, white, and pink tones

tapestry needle or yarn needle
scissors
