Yes, that’s right, I made another big sale!  There was obviously at least one beautiful person watching my Etsy shop, because I had a birthday 15% off everything sale and my single bed rainbow ripple rug is now no longer in stock. Hurray and Yay!  I am currently working

I put the pompom on Zoe’s beanie- it looks finished now, but she complained that she couldn’t use the head rest when she was driving to ice skating!  Them’s the breaks!

Did I mention that I was given a new Kenwood mixer for my birthday?  Well, when I say new, I mean “as new”, it was gifted to a lady who didn’t want one, so Ben bought it for me.  And I’ve been testing it out- yesterday I made

so I had so much fun with that ribbed beanie I was talking about, that as soon as I finished it I went through my yarns hunting for enough to make another one.  Here is a picture of the ribby bits, I will take a photo of Zoe wearing it

Well, it’s my birthday tomorrow anyway.  So I decided to have an Etsy Sale– woo hoo!  I’m hoping to wake up with a Sale notification for a birthday pressie 🙂 Happy Birthday to me!

hurrah and hurray!  My beautiful daughter (and all her friends) are back from their ski trip, and all in 1 piece.  Or should I say, all in 7 pieces, individually.  It’s so nice to have her home again. Did I mention that I went to the “age of Elegance”

and my first tulip is emerging, a beautiful red, orange and yellow bud.  I’m kind of looking forward to it opening, but then again, I don’t know if they last long once they’ve bloomed?  We’ll have to wait and see.  Thank you to my friend who

I went to my local cheap store to find some tags to label the sizes of the crocheted items in my Etsy shop.  How cute are these cardboard labels?!  And the paper roses were $4 for 25 pieces- what a winner!  I was afraid I’d forget which garment was

I also made these cute little vans for the other part of my baby shower gift. and they turned out so teeny tiny that they’re newborn size (even though I was using the 3-6 months pattern) so I’m glad she’s getting them soon. does this pic give

AAAAAAaaaagh! my computer died the other night on me 🙁 We’ve ordered a new hard drive, so hopefully all will be well soon! Meanwhile I had a day off so I decided to make a little something for the baby shower I’ve been invited to soon. I used this

Today I wore my second completed shawl, and how I love the colours!  I’ve actually ordered a pair of shoes in the same green too- won’t that look nice. Funnily enough when I tried to comb the ends of the tassels to make them a bit bushy it

don’t you love it when you wake up to an email telling you you’ve made a sale on Etsy last night!  That was my Monday morning joy, hurray and yay! And here is a sneak peek of the shawl I am working on at the moment, such lovely

my little friends and I have been having a bit of fun with my fruity tin tea set, and my crochet cupcake shop set together.  You ring the bell when the shop is set up and ready to serve (and you wear the hat as the shopkeeper), and you assemble

don’t you just love yarn!  When I got home from work today there was a pink parcel awaiting me- and in it where the beginings of a baby boys blanket which I want to make another one of because it was so much fun, and also – this! some beautiful

I love looking out of my kitchen window splashback at the moment!  The camelias are just gorgeous in flower. and the pink one too! my husband is turning into a bit of a green thumb!  Well more than I am, anyway. So, what have I been up to? A bit

have I mentioned before that I am a little bit of a monopoly game addict?  I play against the computer (on my phone) and mostly I win and the game takes about 15 – 20 mins.  Well this week I had the most extraordinary game I’ve ever had- it took

So on Saturday night I ended up completing the shawl I’ve been working on, and I’m very pleased with how it turned out! Such pretty colours, and a lovely design, thanks to Two of Wands.  And I just ordered some more yarn in colours similar to what their

and no, it wasn’t the pair of pale green pants with nobody inside them what- you don’t know that book?  You really should read it to a middle sized child and enjoy it together. for some reason I was nervous about making tassels- pah!  they’re a cinch!

don’t you just love flowers!  These are still going from Saturday (when I forgot to take a photo) I wonder how much longer they will last? I have nearly finished my shawl in the pinks and green, but I have yet to make the tassels,  Plus this weekend will

I forgot to show the two tone green scarf that I finished off last weekend!  Zoe kindly agreed to model it for you I never got around to blocking it, because I couldn’t decide whether it would look better or not.  It’s still an option though…

When I was last at Spotlight I found these lovely yarns in gorgeous colours, and I came home and looked through projects I want to make and found this beautiful “tea house wrap” by “two of wands” although I really truly like the colours they’ve used, they were not
