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
Project Roundup
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
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
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
Tiny Cap
I received this crochet kit for my birthday, and have only just got stuck into it. You can probably guess from this progress montage…. ….but the first character I made was Captain America! He’s very small; he’s about 9 cm (3.5 in) from head to toe. I love his little shield – there’s a little…… Continue reading Tiny Cap
Project Roundup
I love stocking up on yarn for a project, especially when it’s a project this colourful! This pile of rainbow yarn turned into these gloves for a family friend. I crocheted around the thumbhole to neaten the edge, and (hopefully!) to hold it together for longer. I’ve also started the front façade of the new…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Winter Garland
All the pieces done…. ….and crocheted together! I made these scarves years ago and they’ve languished in a prop box pretty much ever since, so it’s good to have found a use for them. I love how they look like they’re draped over the white chain. I made three different snowflakes with three different coloured centres. There’s…… Continue reading Winter Garland
