I’ve been so busy designing things lately its crazy to think that I’ve made. I finished my jumper, which was supposed to be a cardigan at its outset, it was frogged many many times!!!! I’ll hopefully write about that soon, I’m sat typing this post wearing it as the British Weather has been true to… Read More Crescent Moon Crochet Necklace
I’ve never really been a fan of Mandalas or doilies as us British people tend to call them until……… I started seeing these amazing mandalas all over the place on instagram. I was going on another very long plane trip, and thought I’d have a go. Now the problem with this is that you can’t… Read More Mandalas
I went on this brilliant workshop a couple of weeks ago, designing, cutting and making glass pendants. I’m not really one for jewellery, but thought I’d make one for my mum (read a bit further on!). The workshop was held by Vivien Dent Glass. We had so much choice! First we had to get to… Read More Glass workshop
I’ve been a busy little bee, making and designing lots of things, then getting distracted and not typing anything up! So here we have some crochet little bunnies. These are great, as they hold a Cadburys creme egg inside! Perfect for any little person to hunt for on Easter Sunday. I designed them using some… Read More Crochet Easter Egg Bunnies

She’s just learnt how to do a ponytail herself, so I thought… Read More Spiral Rose Hair Bobbles
Back in January when I asked about reliving old projects or getting on with new ones I set myself a target to try and blog once a week and come up with new patterns and actually write them up……… Epic Fail! It’s now March, and I think I’ve managed maybe 3 posts, but they aren’t… Read More Bursting with Creativity
A while I ago, I had a go at dyeing some yarn, and told you all about it in a blog post. I then had this bright idea and posted a skein of it, and a 3.5mm hook to my BBB, the lovely Louise at Red Haired Amazona all the way in Oz, and set her… Read More Cable cuffs
Until I’ve finished what I have started! Yep – I think we’ve all said that at one time or another! But this is me writing to myself to try and resist the urge to pick up my hook, scissors and or material, and get creating! I’m itching to start designing something new, BUT, I must… Read More I really must not start anything else……….
My 2 year old niece loves owls! Any excuse for me to make something! Her mum made her a fab button art picture with me when they came to came to stay. I wanted to make her a hat, but was told pretty quickly that she doesn’t do hats! Shame – there is a fab… Read More An Owl Cushion
