Schools out!!

Hello again 

Well i have been so busy lately and thought id get up to date with what iv been making and show you some things i thought were cute.

 my daughter just left nursery so we decided to make some gifts for all the teachers and the helpers.

I got this pattern from Ravelry it was meant to be a bookmark but i just did the apple bit and added a key ring whith a photo bit that we but a message in saying thank you for helping me grow. They turned out really cute and all the mums from other nursery's i know now what them too for gifts for the kids teachers lol

This was the apple i made for my daughters key worker along with a rainbow star scarf, chocolate, a plant pot painted buy my daughter with all the stuff to grow daisy's in it 

I loved this scarf and i came out so well i will post a pattern for it when i get a chance i love it and will be making more of them i think as there so popular.

I LOVE THIS CRAFT!!!

Well the teachers all loved there gifts and my daughters teacher cried bless her but they deserved them so was lovely to make them.

Iv also had so much fun making these granny striped headbands form tangled happy i really love these there quick to make and work up fast. The only thing is in England the wool i think is allot thinner so the first came out a bit tight so i used a slightly bigger hook and instead of doing a chain then sc i used a sc foundation chain to the number required and found this gave it more stretch the pattern is so lovely i make alot of these for autumns friends and help to stop my daughter from getting ear infections in the winter so have a look at her patterns there lovely

Iv been feeling a bit festive of late (probably due to my daughter watching the snowman dvd every day lol) and got inspired to make a snowflake garland. I found this pattern on Ravelry and gave it ago it works up fast and have since had people ask me to make them one too going to add bells to the garland to make it extra festive cant wait  watch this space for the finished item with all the other crimbo stuff i cant wait to make.

I love to make unusual things and saw this pattern by creativeyarn for crochet jewellery i fell in love with it and decided to make my friend one as she loves anything bright coloured and this just suited her.

 Next time i think i will put a sparkly button or something to give it a bit of bling but she loved it and wears it all the time.

I also made her a multicoloured star garland that i made using a pattern (that i now cant remember were it came from but have found someone elce who also makes them) to make a granny star take a look it looked grate once i had rearranged the colours properly in to a rainbow but didn't take a pic of it corrected but now looks grate in my friends house in her window.

I then went and made a heart garland using this pattern buy sarahndipities it looks amazing and get a lot of comments about it its very quick to make and takes little to no effort so a lovely crochet project for a beginner

And finally thought id give you a sneak peak of what im doing at the mo more to come soon

This was a heart mat photo prop for a photographer friend  i know who has asked me to make some photo prop for her to play around with. It came out grate but cant find any were that sells a wool like it and have no idea were it came from or what make it is as it didn't have a label when i bought it off eBay. Its really thick and is dusky pink in colour was lovely to work with just wish i could find something similar here will have to keep looking.

Well thats all for now off to finish some more goodies.

I hope you've enjoyed looking and keep checking back for my strawberry baby beanie hat pattern iv made im very proud off it just a few more tweaks and will be perfect as well as some keyrings i'm making for a charity close to my heart cant wait see ya soon

bye for now.
