A gift for Violet

My Nephew's wife is going to have a baby girl and she already has a name! They are going to name her Violet, (isn't that the sweetest name!) I had to make sweet Violet a gift and of course I thought it should be Violet!
I made these cute little shoes and decided to put a felted flower on the toe with 3 small beads for the flower center. I then thought I should probably make a hat to match.
I kind of made up the hat pattern but wanted to weave a ribbon through it so I made a double crochet  near the bottom of the hat to weave the ribbon through. I also made a felted flower clip to attach so you can either clip it to the hat, clip it in her hair or clip it to whatever clothing she would be wearing. I think I  have a new favorite color! Violet!
I finished making these cute sunflower shoes as well, I just need to make a hat to match. Oh, wouldn't a large sunflower on the hat look oh, so cute! I better get busy and get working on the hat. You never know when I will need another baby gift!
              Can't wait for Violet to make her arrival!

Donene, these are some of the cutest baby items! How precious that the first gift matches the baby's name.

I love it that you're sharing your creative talents at my linky parties. Please join in each week. I'm sure you have enough ideas to join all three of the parties each week.

Darling! Darling! Darling! I just cannot even imagine how cute it will be to see Violet in her pretty little violet get-up!

And oh yes, a sunflower on the other hat is a MUST!
