crown

i made this little pink and yellow birthday crown for miss charlotte who turned 6 months old this month. in my family we celebrate half-birthdays (a small celebration, usually just family, but you get to wear your birthday crown) for the yellow i used 100% wool felt and for the pink i used a blend, because that was what i had on hand in pink and, well, charlotte is a pink girl, i think, so i wanted to use pink. oh how i do love the 100% wool felt better though. it is so soft and thick, but a bit pricey. i used my own pattern that i created for calvin's birthday crown.

as i look at the picture though i realize i need to work on my embroidery stitches. maybe i will do some embroidery for christmas (i know it seems early to be thinking about the holidays, but i want to make most of my gifts and that requires time and forethought and more time, so i must start now). i found these tutorials here and here to get me started. now to find the time...

happy half-birthday charlotte!
