Save money with DIY projects

Lately, I have been looking for newborn photography props to enhance my sessions.  I have come across numerous online businesses that cater to photographers by making newborn hats such as Sweet Love Creates and they are AMAZING but I want them all and cannot afford everything!

So...I drove myself down to the local craft store and bought a book called "I taught myself crochet" along with lavender yarn...because you know its totally easy to whip up a beautiful crochet hat.  Wrong!  Being the analyst I am, it took me 4 hours to even pick up the crochet hook and another hour watching many YouTube tutorials to start my first stitch.  I think I was a bit adventurous in my thinking BUT I am on way to creating my first newborn beanie...I think!  Check it out.
