{Crocheted Baby Boo-Pumpkins}

When reading the Swedish blog: Elna-Sudden, I was amazed at her post about 'An Exciting Day'. Not only did she become a grandparent for the second time, but she also did receive a parcel that day from Jule, in Germany. That contained two Crocheted Pumpkins and one was a white Baby Boo. Going to the German blog: Jule Macht Was | Jule Creates Something, I fell in love with her Crocheted Pumpkins, especially the white Baby Boo, so I did order three as a gift to our German 'son' and his family. They are made of Mercerized Cotton and filled with synthetic fiber batting. This was at least one way for getting even with all the surprises we receive from Germany.  
Here is what they received in Germany as a surprise gift! I would have loved those myself; they are so pretty. What do you think? 
The nice thing is, they can be stored away and used again for years to come.
Below this post you find the link from Jule's blog so you can see other colors. Tell me what you would have loved most...
My choice was easy: WHITE BABY BOO!

My sister Gerd loved them also very much as a gift...

    Hello my friend, the green and deep yellow also look nice ... but the white ones are darling. Your son and his family will treasure your gift, most definitely! Wishing you, Pieter and the furbabies a wonderful Thanksgiving week... hugs and love, xo C. (and Family)

    Dear Mariette

    I also cannot decide which is best. Never seen anything like them, they are fabulous.

    It always amazes me what people will think of to create, they really are something else.

    I'd like to try and make them.

    Thanks for the links.

      Liebe Jule,
      Du machst ja auch klasse Arbeit und auch aus schöne mercerisierte Baumwolle. Nochmals vielen Dank!
      Lieber Gruss,

    Wirklich hübsch, liebe Mariette! Die hab' ich schon lange bewundert.
    Gibt es dabei einen Trick, daß solche Wollteilchen über Jahre ansehnlich bleiben?
    Bei mir geht das so wie mit Pullovern - irgendwann sind gehäkelte Sachen nicht mehr so schön, selbst wenn sie eingelagert sind. Und auch wenn sie gewaschen wurden ... aber keine Ahnung ... ??
    Jedenfalls schauen sie wundervoll aus!

    Alles Liebe
    Sara

      Liebe Sara,
      Den Trick braucht man ja nicht, da es sich hier um mercerisierte Baumwolle handelt und keine Wolle. So habe ich es auch beschrieben. Hohe Qualität mercerisierte Baumwolle bleibt jahrzehnten schön und ändert ihre Struktur nicht.
      Lieber Gruss,
      Mariette

    Liebe Mariette,
    da hat sich dein Sohn und Familie bestimmt drüber gefreut. Die sind super dekorativ und schimmeln nicht. Sind wirklich schön gearbeitet.
    Schöne Grüße, Johanna
