I have been preoccupied lately with getting ready for our new baby girl to join our family. March is approaching faster than I can believe.
I made these booties from this pattern…
They are made with 100% Peruvian wool and I imagine they are supposed to stretch to fit, because they are teeny tiny. See how little they are in Owen’s 6 year old hands above?
I admit, this pattern was a bit advanced for my hands to manage. You can see mine didn’t turn out as nice as the pattern pictures. The yarn is so thin and the booties so small…but it was fun to try, and practice, and learn.
And it is so sweet to imagine my little girl’s feet will be this tiny…
I also made this hat from this pattern…
My mom had a whole stash of buttons put away in storage for years that she wasn’t using! I LOVE buttons, so I snatched those up quick. These heart buttons are from that stash.
I think they are vintage? I love buttons but I’m not really a button expert or anything. So if anyone can shed some light on these…
In preparation for our little girl, I am also cooking up a four week baby series!
I have an exciting line up of guest posters, my own baby projects, and some fun giveaways in store.
Look for it starting January 23.
Have a marvelous day!
That hat is the cutest thing EVER!!! I absolutely LOVE it! And that banner you made for the nesting series is beautiful. Man, I love what you do!

Love the super tiny booties! I am looking forward to the nesting series too. I can't resist a good baby project.
Those booties are darling! And we are excited for your series…
I'm due the 12th of March and nesting like a fool. Last week I cleaned out my cabinets and paired all of the plastic leftover containers with the lids and got rid of everything that didn't have a mate. My husband thought I was looney.
I can't wait to see cute baby projects. I've finished a crocheted sweater, booties and a blanket for my little man and I'm working
So sweet! You're having a girl! I had two boys then a girl and it was such a differently amazing experience. I'm so happy you get to have that.
For all of your generosity given on this blog, all that you have shared with us, I would love to make your little one a pair of shoes. You can see my work here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/GoodLittleThings?ref=si_shop Just e-mail me if

Oh my goodness, they are too cute!
I've enjoyed your last several posts, Delia! What fun to create for a little girl! You've already made her adorable :) The scripture covers are great too- my four year old would enjoy one of those!
What a sweet little hat! I'm very excited for this series, I'm nearing the end of my first trimester and quite excited to start on baby projects… again (since my baby is only 14 months old… lol!)
OK… I'll admit it… I did do a project already. Ha! But I don't know if I can even use it since I did a girl project ;)
Those little booties and that hat is absolutely adorable!! Oh my goodness, it makes me want to pull out my knitting gear so I can practice until I’m good enough to make some!
I LOVE those shoes… so cute!! Well done! Hope you and your little one are feeling well!
And I agree with you on the button-thing: buttons are great and the possibilities are endless…
The hat and booties are so cute! Love them.
If you want to be sure they will fit. I would find some of your newborn hats and shoes that fit your boys, so you can compare size. Speaking from experience, I crocheted half a dozen baby hats and a couple pairs of booties. Which all ended up being too small, (I used patterns without a gauge, or finished dimensions)and I guess I crochet tighter, or my yarn was thinner. I ended up not being able to fit any of them on my newborn 8lb baby. I was sooooo disappointed, and didn’t have the time or energy to make new ones. I ended up donating them for preemies, so they went to good use at least :). I took extra care to notice what fit really well on baby, and then used them as a size guide to make some for friends. I’ll be prepared for the next baby at least, I’m determined to get some cute hat photos!
Love those tiny hat and cute shoe. Cann’t wait see your baby girl.
That is so sweet! How adorable

That hat is so, so darling! Oh my goodness! I clicked on the link for the pattern, but didn’t see it anywhere. Am I missing something? I would LOVE to make it!
