All 100 little triangles of bunting were finished... ...then the first four were crocheted together... ...we're halfway there... ...and it's done! This is definitely the longest piece of bunting I've ever made, there's so much of it! You can see how it looks in Diagon Alley below, almost like a small canopy over the street.… Continue reading Hogwarts Bunting

The Hogwarts bunting is going well, I'm 6 flags per house away from finishing all the flags. Then I just have to crochet them all together in one very, very long string of bunting. Sarah's been knitting a new scarf out of some yarn ends she's had hanging around for a while, and the eventual… Continue reading Project Roundup
Bubbles
Back before I went to the beach, I started making this little narwhal, to finish while I was up there. I hadn't thought of a good name until just as I'm writing this, when Bubbles popped into my head and kinda stuck. The timing for making Bubbles was very deliberate, as you can see! Bubbles… Continue reading Bubbles
Project Roundup
I have quite a few projects in progress at the moment, actually. First is a new badge design, which went very quickly from an idea to being made! I'm trying a new stitch with it, too, so we'll see how that goes. I'm confident it'll turn out well. I'm also making a few small furniture… Continue reading Project Roundup
Crochet Colours
I borrowed this book out from the library recently, and tried out some of the patterns. I made two mandalas and two flowers with various shades of yarn. The little pink mandala reminds me of this felt peony I made a while ago, the colours match really well! The second mandala has a few extra… Continue reading Crochet Colours

Soft Spikes
It was a friend of mine's birthday not long ago, and I decided to make her a little crochet cactus for a birthday gift. These French knots are cactus flowers, which I think look adorable on real-life cacti. The pot is stuffed, and I put a circle of cardboard in the base to help it… Continue reading Soft Spikes
Happy Christmas

Oh Christmas Wreath…
I finished my crochet Christmas wreath recently! The little red seeds (?) on the holly are beads that I sewed into place to give the wreath some sparkle. I also put the sequins around the bells for sparkle, because Christmas decor should be sparkly, in my opinion. The fancy stitch around the edge of the… Continue reading Oh Christmas Wreath…
Project Roundup
I'm making good progress on the life-size Christmas wreath, all the individual elements are done, they just need to be sewn on. I also put fold-down awnings on all the Diagon Alley windows, to add a 3rd dimension to what was previously a flat facade. (I also made the Three Broomsticks external windows yellow, as… Continue reading Project Roundup
