These can both be purchased for an instant download via Ravelry here or you can always purchase in my Etsy Shop. 

Speaking of Etsy I hit my 200th sale this weekend. Pattern sales are definitely the place to be. I took me a  year to get 100 sales but only two weeks to hit 200 and I'm absolutely thrilled with how much you love these newborn cape set. I have so many more in the works. I have trouble knowing which ones to do next and yet make on more unique than the last. 

I recently bought a new pattern. I've been wanting a great bonnet pattern. I bought a few and tried a few free ones and they just weren't working for me. So I when a different route and bought a pattern by the Inner Hooker (One of my favorite pattern writers) for the Flower bonnet. It worked up perfectly. I didn't have enough handspun merino on hand so I thought I'd try a different yarn (Yarn bee - Chincilla). This is what I came up with. I'm not sure what I think about it. What do you think? 

I'm trying to think of a fun design for a cape to go with it.

 I have in the works, a zebra, Sock monkey and dinosaur......and so many more ideas written out! I can't wait to design more. Many have asked for a butterfly and I think I've finally pinned down what to do for it. Can't wait to see how it comes out. 

Hope you've had a great Memorial Day! I've not even touched my hook. Spent the day outside in the warm weather in the sprinkler with the kiddos.

Happy 2nd Birthday Calleigh

Today is my sweet Calleigh's 2nd birthday. I can't believe how fast time flies by. She's at such a fun age and full of personality! I thought I'd share a few (I promise just a few) from her birthday party last Saturday and if you endure the photos you'll find a discount code and possibly a giveaway ;)

Her darling cake and cupcakes. I bought the cake at Sams (called Ribbons and dots) and then I added the cupcake wrappers and toppers. ( i bought the templets on etsy, printed them at home...so fun) 

Calleigh's in her big cupcake bow (she hates bows and hats so this picture is a miracle!)
