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

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
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

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
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

I impulsively decided to use some of this yarn from my stash to make Petra a very mismatched jumper. At the moment, I’ve just finished the first body and sleeve pieces, and I’m hoping this one will have a lower neckline than the two previous jumpers. I do really like the colours in this yarn,…… Continue reading 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

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

I have a few old/didn’t-work-out-right doll clothes that I was trying to recycle this week, but they’re not agreeing with me, so I may have to do some more thinking. As always, there are books-in-progress on my desk…. ….and I impulsively started crocheting myself a rainbow beanie for winter. I have no idea how I…… Continue reading Project Roundup
