In case you haven’t  noticed, I [heart] Etsy!  And recently I ran across this lovely little shop:

I am IN LOVE with this little number …

and I really need an excuse to buy this for the baby!  Too darn cute!

They have an adorable skunk, cow, pig, and more.  These are all handmade and self-designed.

What a super-cute gift for a little one this holiday season!

Hurried Homemaker was in no way compensated for this review.  This is simply my honest opinion of this company/product.

Just what I needed, right?  Another project?  Well, I just couldn’t resist trying out these crochet balls.  I went over to my MIL’s house yesterday to get her help on getting started.  I’ve only been crocheting a couple weeks, and am admittedly not very good.  But I still wanted to make a go of it on this pattern.  So far, so good.  Maybe it will be easy enough to finish in a decent time-frame.  The oldest and I have plans to do one craft project a month for a ward in the local children’s hospital.  With some colorful yarn, this could be a good one (if I can manage it).
