Sons {and daughters} are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 127: 3-5

I love this verse from the Psalms. Children are such a blessing and so precious. Each one is different and unique. My 2 boys are a gift and every day I thank God for them. I praise Him for giving me the ability to design crochet baby props and to be a stay-at-home mom. In the midst of the chaos, there is still peace that comes from Him and from my crochet.

I didn't learn to crochet until I was in my 20's, but began sewing in college. I worked in the costume shop, although I preferred the stage:-), but really enjoyed costume design and prop making. I think the first thing I learned to make was a 19th century corset!

Happy Baby Crochet began as Happy Baby Shoes in 2008 when I began crocheting baby shoes and hats for my first son. I absolutely LOVE soft sole baby shoes, but while seeking out the perfect soft shoe for my son, I ended up making my own! I wanted to make something unique and found some super cute crochet patterns on Etsy.

A friend of mine suggested that I start making newborn baby props. I would have never thought to do this if she had not suggested it. What a blessing those words were to me! I made several hats for her to use and asked some of my other photographer friends if I could send them props too. I have made so many hats and props now that I can't imagine doing anything else.

More than anything, I love babies. They are the most wonderful of God's creations. I love seeing my handmade hats and creations on babies. I take great care in crocheting and sewing each of my items because I know it's for a sweet and precious baby.

Thank you for visiting and God Bless!
