Emoji Love

Spirit Week!

 The schools always pick these crazy themes for spirit week.  This year we got Emoji day!

 

 

 I decided to make a couple of emoji braclets for my daughter to wear.  The little bracelets didn't turn out to great but she wore them anyway.  A bit later, I thought I should've made a headband.  So I had this idea to make an emoji and put it on a headband. I decided to make this little emoji pillow.  I had originally thought to make it as part of a headband.  However, the size was a bit bigger than she would have worn.  I think this little crochet pillow is easy enough for a beginner in crochet.
