Knitted diaper cover and slippers

Snowing :( I thought it is spring now but when I looked out of the window it was snowing. I like spring and rain and I love to hear the rain outside when i am crocheting... Today i was crocheting christening gown but my flu is getting bad so I did not take a photo because I needed to take a nap :) But we still have few new models - my mom is amazing and hard working and she loves crocheting and knitting as much as I do :)

These days many parents use diaper covers so we designed a  new model today :) And slippers of course ;)

Tomorrow I hope I can crochet together the motifs of blanket

New experiment - slippers

Why I can not have so small feet? Oh how I like crocheted slippers but I would like to wear them or at least have a small princess. I have not told you yet, I have two boys - a 12 year old and a 9 year old so I have always dreamed about small princess. Of course I do love my boys :) but of course they would not wear "pink" and crochet slippers for example :)

But "Tonight we are young" I am just 32 and I still want to have a small princess :)

You can look at My slippers here (my shop) there are most of slippers we made with my mom <3

Here we come - how slippers look about 11 am 

I hope my sister do not read my blog (if it is a secret) maybe my "little" sister will have a small princess after 7-8 months.... :)

Knitted leg warmers for newborn and 2 years old girl and another "random" dress - order... hmm, i think for twins :) 

Crocheting.... knitting.... It is fun (not always lol) But more fun - when i bring cardboard box home from shop! My cats just love it :)
