Let's get personal

Happy New Year Diva's!!! This year I've decided that I'm going to do things a little differently. I'm still going to post my original crochet patterns, but I'm also going to start posting things about me personally. You all already know about my beautiful girls. But there's so much more of my life that I'd like to explore like my natural hair journey, health challenge, and love life (can you believe I still have one of those with 5 kids lol o_O). I hope you all will enjoy reading about me as much as I'm going to enjoy telling you. So stay tuned Diva's...

Baby Crochet Leg Warmers

Lately, I've been experimenting with different baby crochet patterns since Samia is the perfect size for them. It's really exciting knowing that once the item is complete there's a little model just waiting to get her picture taken. I love how her chunky legs look in these adorable leg warmers. They're really simple and can be crocheted in an hour or less which is perfect because my short attention span doesn't allow me to work on lengthy crochet projects.

I had a baby!

She's here...she's here!!! My 5th addition is here! Ms. Samia Anais has finally made her debut. Weighing a whopping 9 pounds and measuring at 20 inches long, she is definitely my biggest baby. My 2nd biggest baby was only 7 pounds 13 ounces. And omg, this pregnancy seemed like it lasted forever. But it's finally over and I now have my little bundle to love on :-).
