The UK is in the midst of a super heatwave, and I adore the hot weather, and we’ve had it for 2 months now. It may surprise you to read this, but in the UK, we never have weather like this, the last hot summer on record was 1976 – before I was born! It’s… Read More The heatwave and a crochet glass cover
Where has time gone? I made these cool bees back in April, and its only now I’m sat here thinking about typing them up, and sharing the pattern with you. Why a bee? Well, there was a campaign on instagram for #pollencounts, where @seriously.hooked.up asked for crochet and knitted bees to raise awareness that we… Read More Large crochet bumble Bee Pattern
I know I can’t be the only one that does this, I seem to start so many things, finish them, and I’m already onto the next project and it’s either finished or complete, before I even think about updating my blog and telling people about it. I seem to rely more and more heavily on… Read More Granny pop bag
I’m a huge fan of crochet bags. No surprise really, probably what is the surprise if that I haven’t ever got around to sharing my many creations with you here.

I’m being so creative, its starting… Read More Crocheting again

A long time ago, I started a jumper for me – well I say a jumper. I wanted a cardigan…… but “winging it” with no pattern was not on my side this time! It was my first time making an adult sized item of clothing. I’d seen some gorgeous jumpers on Pinterest, in the most… Read More A new Jumper for me!
I treated my self to a new crochet book a few weeks ago. I’d seen lots of people talking on instagram accounts, and I’ve followed the author Lalylala on Instragram for a long time – I love her Sheep doll! So, while I was waiting in the hospital for many hours with the pink one… Read More Lalylala, Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies
It’s time to finally show you the blanket that I made at the end of last year. I’d made lots and lots of circles and changed them into squares which you can read all about in some previous posts I made. The final layout was decided pretty quickly – before I could change my mind!… Read More Starburst Blanket Finished!
