Snug and warm…

My freestyle crocheting continues, at the moment I am on a beanie kick! I delivered this little range to Handmade Heaven yesterday….

I am just making them up as I go along, I will learn to read a pattern one day (a friend has lent me a book), but for now there are too many projects just flowing and working.

Liesa bought this one before I could even put it on the shelf.

And doesn’t she look adorable in it!

I had to keep this one for myself (purple of course!).

And now for a big ohh-ahh moment – this is the first beanie I made.  A gift for a little friend's naming day. Isn’t that just the sweetest face?

I hope you are snug and warm wherever you are, if your heads feeling a bit cold I could always whip you up a beanie!!!

Head on over to Kirsty’s for more creative spaces, something tells me there will be other crocheting goodness to check out – along with all manner of things creative form across the globe.

More on the delivery to Handmade Heaven tomorrow, you will never guess what I am stocking in there now……

Congratulations Selina!

On Friday Little Guy, Curly Guy and I went to the show, we checked out all of the weird and wonderful chickens, ducks and pigeons, stroked the animals in the nursery and gazed upon the prize winning, pumpkins, corn, artwork and photos.

We also spent a few minutes visiting with this special little bear and admiring this clock. This is Posie, Selina’s prize winning bear. Posie got a third prize and Selina’s clock got a first prize. Well done, you clever, clever lady.

I have a soft spot for Posie – because I picked her name, so whoever becomes her new owner better treasure her – or else……. You can find a great selection of Selina’s vintage chenille creations at Handmade Heaven.

 

Focus????

Ok this could be serious……… I might actually be on a roll with one project! So often I flit around from one thing to another; as evidenced in the array of different  projects in previous My Creative Space days. But these flowers might just have me hooked!

I delivered a range of flowery brooches and bobby pins to Handmade Heaven yesterday. They look so good on their new shelf; I’m popping back into today with a little sign and light to jazz up the space even more!

Do you have a favourite? I loved the denim one with the vintage button so much I had to make one for myself!

Go get yourself a cuppa and settle in to check out the creative feast over at Kirsty’s. Don’t miss out of checking out the slippers she just made for herself too – so cute!

A field of flowers for Miriam

I’ve been creating flowers in My Creative Space all week.

How about that? Two weeks in a row on the same project, with my track record you would have to call that focus!

These ones are destined to jazz up a little black dress for Miriam to wear to a wedding. 

I’m going to be so torn at Little Guy’s rest time today, I really should hit the studio so I and add to my range of flower brooches and clips at Handmade Heaven.

BUT, it’s My Creative Space day and I’ll just want to sit down with a cuppa and pop over to Kirsty’s to see what everyone else is up too!

A special batch……

All set for delivery to Handmade Heaven this morning is a special purple batch of playdough to celebrate the launch of Chasing Purple Dreams. I’ve purpled up the label and used a special star shaped glitter. Unfortunately I have less to deliver than I anticipated as some has been claimed by some of my favorite little people!
