Felt Nativity Set

Over the past few years I have really started collecting Nativity sets.  For a few years into our marriage, I didn't have any.  Then I started buying them after Christmas on sale, and friends even bought a couple of sets for me.  But with Shelby, my 1 year old, it was hard to let her handle any fragile sets or small pieces.  Yet I wanted her to have something for herself to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ along with the rest of us...something she could touch, feel, and play with as I talked to her about Christ.  Therefore, when I came along this pin: http://whatmadeleineloves.blogspot.com/2011/12/felt-nativity.html on Pinterest, I knew it was something I had to do for my baby girl.  Bonus:  I didn't have to buy a single thing to make it as I already had all of the supplies in my craft stash.  After a week or so in my spare time, I had it completed!  It was really fun!  And I will admit that although she didn't take the interest in it right away that I thought she would, she did like to carry around one piece at a time and she knew it was "hers."  I look forward to seeing how she interacts with it next year when she's a few months older and can understand a little more about our Savior's birth. 

Diaper and Hat Sets

Recently I crocheted a bunch of these sets of diaper covers with matching hats to take to Lola Leigh. They turned out cute but I am not sure how conventional they are -- I have no babies to test them. However, I believe they are popular right now for photograhy shoots with newborns. If you are interested in a set, let me know! I'm selling them for $15.00 per set. I got the pattern from The Pattern Shoppe on Etsy. Thanks for looking! And perhaps buying! ;)
