A friend from church messaged me the other day after seeing the new website and asked if I had anything on-hand she could take to a baby shower. We chatted back and forth and she decided that in addition to getting a gift certificate for photography, she wanted me to make a pink diaper cover and booties. The catch was that I had about 24 hours in which to complete this order. No problem! (Not always the case, but being snowbound with the kids and I could whip those up pretty fast.)
I started with a pattern I found at http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2012/08/mickey-and-minnie-inspired-crochet.html and http://flowerscreations.blogspot.com/2012/05/free-diaper-cover-pattern.html and modified it a bit. I also decided to put a fuzzy border on the diaper cover to jazz it up and make it a bit cuter and I loved the border so much, I am thinking this would be great in red for Christmas because the fuzzy white yarn stands up a bit and would be very Santa-ish. Sounds like a project for later on...
The booties were a pattern from http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-dot-mary-janes
I was able to complete the project on time and my friend said they'd be the hit of the shower. Here's the finished product:
