In honor of my mom’s birthday today, I’m including a few of her craft projects. Mom was an amazingly versatile crafter and taught me so much.

Crocheted Baby Hat with Butterfly
This small blue and white baby hat is crocheted with extra soft terrycloth yarn and features a fold-up brim. The little butterfly accent is crocheted with #10 thread. Very sweet!

Changing Pad
This cute changing pad was a gift for a friend’s new baby. The basic construction is an extra-soft hand towel backed with colorful cotton fabric. Mom sewed in some pockets for the little necessities (and included some samples!). It all wraps up into a tidy bundle with a white ribbon. The changing pad easily slips into a backpack or diaper bag and can be washed.
