I've been crocheting a little lately, when it gets cold, I enjoy working with yarn.  This pattern I found free on the net flower burst handbag you can go to her site and get a free pattern if you like.

 Here is a hat I made for a friend who just had a baby boy. Owl hat she has kindly posted patterns for different size.  I made the eyes with crochet thread instead of buttons, buttons makes me nervous with babies.

here is a hat I made for my friend's teenage son since my almost 8 year old will not wear hats.
