Oh My It's Been A While But Feast Your Eyes On This!

Hey there, gosh, my last post was ages ago!

I had been searching for the right shade of red yarn for ages, it was going to be used for a special little project to live in my lounge, after looking through shop after shop on-line and searching my local charity shops for weeks i finally found it :) right on my blooming doorstep!

As it seems, my local Red Cross charity shop sells some lovely yarn in just the colour I needed! "What was the project?" I here you ask....well it was some fabulous crochet bunting!! 

I've been wanting to make bunting for a while and now I finally have, it consists of your normal granny triangle pattern with a lovely frilly edging around three sides, I am so very proud! do you want to see??

And finally Ta Dahhhh!

The Finished Product!!!

Doesn't it look lovely, the yarn used is Jazz Tones Chunky Knitting Yarn in shade 003 it has a lovely marble effect that makes every little triangle different :)

Well that's me for now, hopefully I'll find some time to make some more hooky goodies and I will blog again soon :)

Ta Dahh! Granny Square Blanket Goodness :)

Well the twins are keeping me busy! I've even had to buy myself a diary, Its absolutely fabulous with pictures of little owls all over it, owls are my favourite!! Its personalised too :)

Finally I have gotten round to taking some pictures of the granny square blanket in all its completed goodness! I created this wonderful item for my twins, and of course Noah has helped me with the photo shoot demonstrating how comfy and sleepy it makes him feel :)

I'm really made up with these photo's, it shows the blanket in natural light really giving a true representation of the colours :)

You can see my previous posts on this blanket here and here, you can also see the colour difference of the wool from using my camera today in lovely natural spring light :)

Crochet Camera Strap Cover :)

Been uber busy the past two weeks! The twins are home and settled now and everyday I have lists as long as my arm of jobs to do, from housework to sterilising bottles, baths to laundry, feeding babies and preparing school pack lunches, I've not had much time at all to get hooky, also I seem to have lost my mojo! :(

In desperation I went searching ravelry for hooky inspiration, after coming across many patterns for little booties my confidence got the better of me and I started doubting my ability to make two things that have to be identical. After having a good think about what I could make that would be both practical an beautiful I decided on making this strap cover for my camera, I don't understand how I have never thought of it before!

Using my new James Brett Marble Chunky Yarn and a 5mm hook I set about creating my masterpiece ;)

I'm not finished yet, I plan on crocheting a nice big flower with a button centre and adding that on too :) I will blog again soon when its finished, oh and I almost forgot, I never showed to the completed granny square blanket for my boys, so I'll take some pics of that too, especially for your eyes! :)

UPDATE 04/02/13 | THIS NEVER GOT FINISHED, UNFORTUNATELY I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY IT WAS TURNING OUT AND LOST HEART IN THE PROJECT, NOT TO WORRY THOUGH, I'M SURE THIS YARN WILL TURN IN TO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL ONE DAY :) XX

Flower Pixie Hair Bands For Little Flower Pixies :)

I've been wanting to have a go at making these for a while :) Cute little hair bands, using button embellishments and flowers for all the flower pixies out there! In the future I plan on selling these for £4.50 each.

Money Making Madness!!

Ahhhh hiya :)

Oh my gosh somebody actually wants to pay for my crochet! I'm over the moon! I already had some prices in mind in case someone asked me to create them a hat but didn't think it would come so soon! :)  I was asked about a week ago to create a hat for my friends baby girl, she wears either a black or hot pink coat with mini mouse on so I decided to create a cute mouse style hat with a big pink bow set to the side, here is what I came up with..............

Custom Made Mini Mouse Style Hat Complete With Ears & Large Pink Bow - £15

Colourful Stripe Blanket Happiness:) :)

So..... I started a new blanket, a lovely colourful stripe pattern based on this lovely pattern found here , I wanted an easy pattern I could run up fast without too much counting and calculating, this one was perfect! To be honest I have been wanting to make a colourful ripple blanked but chickened out eeep :/

I'm using Stylecraft Special DK that I bought from my local AgeUK shop at £1.50 per 100g ball BARGAIN!! Its lovely and soft and machine washable, I will make a list of the colours I have used when I have more photo's to show you :) which shouldn't be too long a wait if I keep zooming through the stripes as fast as I am :)

HAPPY CROCHETING!
