Pattern Flashback

 

I was browsing through some of my old patterns,

looking for inspiration...

When I stumbled on this little gal!

Shelly the Colourful Sea Turtle

is an adorable knitted toy, which I designed back in 2013...

Much as I love the pattern,

I think the reason this one makes my heart skip a beat 

is the precious little munchkin holding the toy.

Struggling to accept that this little girl is now five and a half years old,

and starts Primary School in just a week or so.

They say time flies... and I'm really starting to feel it!

Flower Headband

Remember the gorgeous Crochet Jacket which Loren sent for Little Miss Charlie?

Well... you might also recall that Loren included the leftover yarn, so that I could make a matching headband for the outfit...

And here it is! 

A simple headband, embellished with a giant flower and little pearl beads at the centre...

Of course Charlie keeps trying to tear it off her head - just like a typical toddler - but I manged to get a few cutie-pie photos taken!

And one day I might even mange a photo of her wearing the jacket AND the headband at the same time...
