Crafting Along With needle and thREAD

Ok, is she not just one of the stinking cutest babies ever, or what?!?!


I was scouring SouleMama's blog yesterday. If you have never read her blog, you should check it out. With every post I read, I fall more and more in love with her life... I always think "This could be me in a few years!" Everything she does inspires me... Well except for the Honey Bees... They kinda freak me out a little. I came across a post about an awesome little sweater vest that she knitted. Right away, I knew I Baby Squirrely needed one.


Not being a knitter and not really wanting to put the time into crocheting one, I yet again dug though my pile of thrifted wool sweaters, and set to work


I cut out a basic sweater vest shape.


I stitched up the sides and fake serged (zigzag stitched) around the edges.


Then I folded them over and hemmed them up to be a smooth finish.


 Seriously, one of the stinking cutest babies ever!


Oh hey, there is another one!


I am absolutely blessed and so incredibly thankful...

God is good... I love my life!
