Mom Confessions
Someone brought a home made gift to your child's birthday party?
We're broke. Our bills are paid, but atm we have nothing for little extras. So, what can I do for the back to back parties this weekend??
I decided to crochet them hats. Both girls are turning 1. I already have the supplies....
I feel bad though... :-/ like they might think I'm cheap or something. One mom won't care- we are good friends and she knows money is tight.. the other? We barely know each other- but our kids get along well. Both moms are in a different tax bracket (to put it simply)
So, would you find it tacky?
*update*
Both moms loved the hats! Thank you ladies for building my confidence on the matter. Because of the overwhelming support, I am now setting up a shop!! Thank you!! ♥

This!
My DH's old co worker crocheted my son a blanket when he was born. To me that was the best gift, because she made it. I never questioned whether it was because she was broke. Never thought of it until I read this post and he is 6y/o. I still have it in my room where the kids can't destroy it. :)

Awe I would love it! I would also appreciate it a lot more from the fact that YOU made it.

Thank you.
Yeah it does take time. I'm personalizing them too
1. Her nickname is (name) bear, or little bear- so I'm adding little bear ears and a flower.
2. Super girly and loves hats/shoes. I'm putting a ribbon/ bow on hers

Homemade gifts are my favorite. They show the giver actually put time and thought into the gift, and that means a lot. -
If love it to I also don't mind my kids being given used stuff either if its in good shape kids really don't care if the parents care then that's on them not you.
