Wednesday was Petra’s birthday…. ….which she was happy to spend among the plants. As for what I’m making, I’ve got this little square pot on the go, for some storage in my wardrobe. I like the colour scheme of this yarn – maybe I should make it an outfit…. I’ve also got another facade on…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Freshly Decked Halls
Guess what? I finally made new Christmas decorations for the street! And I figured out how to hang wreaths from the shop doors. I poke a little hole just above the door (or doorframe) and stick one end of the hook into the hole, so the wire is sitting just under the outer layer of…… Continue reading Freshly Decked Halls
A Good All-Rounder
I saw a round white bag in a magazine a few years ago, made of coiled rope, and I thought, “That’d look great as a miniature bag.” Fast forward to last week, and it’s complete! I crocheted it with a 1mm hook, making two circles with sides before stitching about half the circumference together. Then…… Continue reading A Good All-Rounder
Winter Garland II
Remember how in my summer garland I wanted to re-do my winter garland? Well, guess what? It didn’t take multiple years! (pause for shocked gasps) Above are all the elements made and ready to be strung together, like below. I re-used all of the snowflakes from the original winter garland, as well as the two…… Continue reading Winter Garland II
Summer Garland
After however-many-years, I have finally made myself a summery garland! There’s a bit of a mix of beach-related things and flowers/foliage on there, which is just about right. Peach shell, sunflower, and sun designs by Steffi Glaves And I found a permanent place for Bubbles, too. I did have Bubbles sitting on my desk prior…… Continue reading Summer Garland
Project Roundup
I finally had the motivation to make a summer garland this week, after many years of having it sitting on the To-Make List. Below are the crocheted elements I’ve made so far – I need two more duplicates, and then they all need to be strung together. Sun, shell, and sunflower designs by Steffi Glaves…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Christmas Earrings
Because I really enjoyed putting together my spring earring collection, I decided to do a small collection of Christmassy designs. These little trees were definitely the most complicated ones to make! I had to make the cone shape with the beads on the inside, then turn it inside out to get this effect. I did…… Continue reading Christmas Earrings
Spring Earring Collection
Ever since I made my cherry blossom earrings, I’ve wanted to have a go at more designs from Steffi Glaves’ book, and as it is spring here, I thought I’d make some flowers to wear. These three below are the newest ones. The daisies turned out bigger than I expected, and I’m really happy with…… Continue reading Spring Earring Collection
Finished Cushion Cover
At the end of last week, I got all the cushion cover squares sewn together to make this really long and thin blanket of sorts. Which I then sewed together to finish this cushion cover! These buttons were free with a magazine a while ago – the one on the right is peachier in real…… Continue reading Finished Cushion Cover
Project Roundup
My bakery’s front façade is coming along slowly – here we’ve got the exterior brickwork done…. ….and the addition of a window. The plan is to have the name of the bakery painted onto the glass of the window, which will hopefully look really good! I’m also sewing together all the squares for my cushion…… Continue reading Project Roundup
