Wishlist...Baby Knits

I wish I were more crafty, or at least I wish I had more time to learn how to be more crafty. So when I'm feeling the craft bug I go and check out Etsy and oooh and ahh over all the amazing handmade goodies there. Maybe someday...

Wish List:

• This adorable hat and bootie set and these sweet lime colored booties from Etsy Seller carameldiezel

I love the idea of knit toys for Lucy and these ones on Etsy have caught my eye:

• From Etsy seller Cakes Knits and Cosies

• Clementines from Etsy seller Eternal Sunshine

• I love this corn husk from Etsy seller Do Little Designs, look at the sweet ladybug! Check out her shop in general, there is so much good stuff!

I do know how to knit (and by "know how" I mean I can knit a basic scarf or blanket...anything in a straight line), and browsing through some of the Etsy patterns available makes me want to start trying something more advanced:

• I don't know how to crochet, but if I did I would buy these amazingly cute patterns from Etsy Seller Syvler to make for Lucy.

And while I'm at it, I would love to pad around my house in these matching "grown up" crocheted slippers from the same seller. How cute and cozy looking for the fall, right?

• Maybe I can try and up my knitting skills to be able to knit this sweater for Lucy for the fall from Etsy seller Shescrafty. I wonder if it would still fit her at 16, which would be when I finally have time to finish it...

Or I'd love to try my hand at this vintage knit romper pattern in some incredibly soft yarn, pattern from Etsy seller toomanycraftsupplies

• Or this vintage knit playsuit pattern from Esty seller Patterns a la Carte
  

So much wishful buying or wishful crafting. Hopefully someday soon I will be able to pick up the needles and have a go at some of these lovelies!
