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

Micro-Crochet Earrings
Remember this little pouch I embroidered a while ago? Well, I found a use for it…. ….it’s filled with little crocheted earrings that I’ve been making over the past little while. I’ve made quite a few so far, loosely arranged into a few categories. The little jump rings loop onto your average sleeper earrings, so…… Continue reading Micro-Crochet Earrings
Crochet Happenings
I finished another birds’ nest – these get donated through a friend-of-a-friend to Australia Zoo. Also, my yarn supplies are topped-up again, and work on the cushion cover has continued! We’re now three sets of eight in, and it’s looking very colourful. I can’t wait to see it all sewn together, but I’ve still eight…… Continue reading Crochet Happenings
The Chaos Jumper
…. is what I like to affectionately call Petra’s newest jumper, because none of the four pieces that make it up match. This yarn is a very old member of my stash, and I really like the colour combination – especially the mustard. I’ve also (finally!) perfected the slightly wider neckline on these knitted jumpers.…… Continue reading The Chaos Jumper
My First Beanie
This rainbow beanie did get finished a while ago, but it’s only now cold enough to reasonably wear it, so! Here it is! The pattern came from a Simply Crochet magazine, and had this front post/back post half treble ribbing, which was difficult. But I love how it turned out! The pompom turned out a…… Continue reading My First Beanie
Palace Library Updates
The main floor of the Palace Library now has a small display table! At the moment, one end of the table has a few fantasy novels…. ….and the other end is spotlighting some Doctor Who novels. This display will definitely change in the future, probably to a display that takes up the whole table. In…… Continue reading Palace Library Updates
Project Roundup
The second group of eight squares is done, so now I have one side of the cushion cover! It’s not sewn together yet, obviously, but I reckon the squares look pretty good all laid out. I’ve also started a pair of pants for Petra: I want them to look like her grey ones, but in…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Beginnings
As I mentioned in my last Project Roundup, I’ve started crocheting a cushion cover. These are the yarns I’m using…. ….and these are the first 8 squares! What a colourful stack! I’ve started making the next 8 squares, as you can see. As of typing this, I’ve finished two more squares, so I’ve made 11…… Continue reading Beginnings
Project Roundup
But before we get into the projects, it’s Sarah’s birthday today! Six years, and I still haven’t updated the party hats. She wanted to sit and read all day for her birthday, which is fair enough. And back to the projects: The Palace Library is coming along, slowly. This counter nook has my attention; I’ll…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Project Roundup
I have a few different things on the go at the moment; first is the cash register for The Palace Library, which is long overdue! Remember this jumper I made for Petra? Well, it’s now in six skeins and bundles of yarn, because I want to knit it instead – and adjust the jumper pattern…… Continue reading Project Roundup
