I am so excited about a find I just made–Rhythm of the Home online magazine. I have been reading their blog on and off again for awhile and really enjoyed the tips and crafting ideas, but the actual magazine is so so good. Here are just a few of the things covered in it  how to make violet jelly, knit wrist warmers, set up a sewing box for your child, make a wooden travel playset, needle felt some adorable rabbits, raise free range rabbits, water color, sew a great playdress and so much more. 

For my very first project I picked New Baby Crocheted Spring Dress.

Since the pattern is for size 0-3 months and Effie, though officially 3 months is the size of a 9 month old I had to make a few changes. You can see my changes on my ravelry page, Effie’s Spring. For a baby born at the beginning of the snowyest winter any of us can remember I felt a spring dress was completely worth it, even though is will probably be another month or so before she can wear it without a long sleeved onesie and tights.

So maybe red and black doesn’t scream spring, but I like to think lady bug. She’s an original anyway.

Did I mention that they are having an awesome giveaway so check them out before Friday.

This gave me an idea. So stop back here Friday afternoon for information about the first ever Crazy Boy Farm giveaway. In honor of St. Patty we will have a very special item to celebrate your Irish/Cambodian self, and an interesting story I promise.
