Shower Gifts Pt. 3


Hello Workers of the World!
Just in case you thought I was the worst, most inconsistent blogger ever, I'll have you know that I am writing this on LABOR DAY.  I hope the union doesn't find out...

So, onto the third of my multitude of gifts for Christina's baby shower.  This one I made from a pattern by Etsy super star, Amy Gaines.  She makes the cutest crochet patterned creatures, like this:
And this:
And these!
AGHHHH!  Can't stand the cuteness!
I decided to make this weather-themed mobile so they could hang it up over the crib or whatever people do with mobiles.  First I had to make all the different pieces parts.  The recipe called for one sun, one cloud and two rain drops. 
After all parties were present I proceeded to embroider faces on them, because weather phenomena should have personalities, right?
From drab...
to fab!!
These guys are just too cute.
Hello sunshine!






Mr. Cloud got some rosy cheeks. 
 
Put it all together and...drumroll... 
Tadaaaah!
This was almost one of those "too cute to give away" things but then, what the heck am I going to do with a crocheted weather mobile??

Maybe the baby will grow up to be a meteorologist. 

Byeeee!
