Oliver turned 1 year old in March and we had a party. If fact we had two. And for those parties, I made things. :-)
I am not really sure what that decoration is called. In England I guess they call it bunting? Anyway the pattern is from a blog called Attic24. A really awesome blog that is worth following for those of you who like colorful crochet. Check it out: Attic24.
So colorful!
What can I say. It is really fun making totally useless colorful things!
It turned out cute!
The party was super fun with all of Oliver's favorite people gathered in the same place. A really happy day. He had so much fun!
We ate, too. I made that ridiculous looking cake in the background there. (It tasted good. At the moment I am really regretting not freezing the leftovers!)
He had never had a room of people sing to him before. It was so sweet.
And his uncle made him laugh!
I made some silly crowns, too. This one I adapted from a pattern by Jennifer Peters. (search ravelry) This picture is from the party we had with the girls. I also made a crown for Oliver's little friend whose birthday we also celebrated.
It was crocheted onto a headband. So cute!
This pattern can also be found on ravelry. A pattern by Cheryl Cambras.
Oliver tested it for sizing. :-)
Celebrations are fun!
But good to take a nap afterwards, straw in hand!
What a wonderful mom, and crafty lady you are! You're fun, and...yes...optimistic! I love what you do, and am happy for you!! Therese
