Babies, Babies, Babies!

Last week, I had the pleasure of two photoshoots with babies. They were so incredible and soft and wiggly and cute. I loved watching them play. Both babies had an older sibling and it was a blessing to see the interaction between the siblings and the babies.

I also had the pleasure of borrowing a few things from Hooked On Adorable- Crocheted Creations by Jenni!

That's little Natalie in the picture. What a cutie! The headband is one of Jenni's creations! She is an incredible talented woman. I interviewed her, because I think what she did is great, and I'd love for you to think she's great too! If you have a baby/toddler, etc or know anyone that does, I would seriously suggest checking into her work. Her creations are just precious!

Here's a little more about Jenni and what she does! Enjoy!

Brittany: How did you get started with this?

Jenni: Growing up my mom would crochet baby blankets to give as gifts and I always wanted to learn, but I just hadn’t taken the time to learn. Once I started seeing all of the adorable hats, baby cocoons, scarves, etc. that people were crocheting I realized that it was so much more than just baby blankets! So, last June my mom taught me the basics and away I went! After I spent most of the summer making a baby blanket I found a pattern for a hat and made it. After I had started posting pictures of what I had made on Facebook people were asking me about purchasing things. I was happy to oblige and I made a few more things. Word spread and more and more people were interested with every new picture I posted, so I decided it was time to make it official and I started a fan page on Facebook and then an Etsy shop.

Brittany: Who taught you to crochet?

Jenni: My mom and youtube :)

Brittany: What is your favorite creation so far?

Jenni: Probably my dinosaur because it is the first pattern I wrote myself. Plus it's so darn adorable and perfect for those newborn pictures!

As a side note, I, Brittany, LOOOOOOOOVE the dinosaur. You better believe when I have kids one day, this will be one of the first things on my list to buy. You can find a picture of it at her website. It is SO cute! The owl is my other person favorite. :) And the monkey... and the ladybug... Ok, all of them I guess....

Brittany: Why would it be an awesome idea to get one of these?

Jenni: My creations make fabulous photo props. They add a little pop to pictures, especially newborn pics! They are also great to keep heads of all sizes warm and toasty in the cooler months.

Brittany : What do you love most about making the hats, etc?

Jenni: I love coming up with new designs and seeing my ideas take shape. It's also a great stress reliever.

Brittany: Anything else you'd like to share?

Jenni: I love to work on new creations. If you have anything in mind I'd love to work together to make your dream a reality!
