This Week, I Have Been Mostly Making...

...a birthday card for my dad! Made from recycled materials, of course! Happy Birthday, Pops!


...new squares for my throw! I love the different coloured one, and the purple one has a lovely texture that really doesn't photograph well...the yellow one is a work in progress, however - it's set to be embroidered, but I haven't decided if I like the pattern yet!




So the pile is growing again steadily!


One day, this will become a blanket...! What have you been creating this week?

Pretty New Creations!

Hello! I've not shown you many of my creations recently so I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at one of my favourite new crocheted items (getting ready for Christmas...shh!)...these gorgeous snowflake decorations / ornaments - I love them!


They're all ready to be pinned and starched and hung with ribbon - to be added to my Etsy, Folksy and Zibbet shops very soon!

I was also delighted to find the perfect wool to make them with - 100% wool, unbleached, undyed and spun by a company based locally - right here by me in West Yorkshire! I love the slight differences in colour and the slight changes in the thread thickness...it gives such a lovely effect when crocheted.


What do you think?

I'm also still working on a background for my photos...I like the dark blue much better, but this tweed gives a bit of a washed out look - I'm on the hunt for the perfect backdrop! Do you have any photography tips? I'd love to hear them!
