Kitty Cat and baby Mary Janes

It seems to be baby season and I have many baby gifts to make! With some already here and more on the way, I'd better get a move on quick! So, what fast things can I make for a little baby girl? Well, I found this amazing pattern for some cute crochet Mary Jane slippers. When I went to buy some baby yarn I found Sirdars Snuggly Snowflake, its super soft and when crocheted up its super snuggly and soft and looks like a little cloud.

The second present I made was a little cat! I thought I wanted to make something along the lines of the Fox that I made my friends little boy when he was born, but this time I chose a cat. I chose a fleecy fabric to make it super soft and embroidered onto the cat rather than using buttons, just in case baby swallows them. A cute little make I think! :)
