Lazy summer holidays


Well hello again sorry for the delay in posts but my daughter is on her school holidays so things have been about wild here of late lol 

I have been making another baby set for a family member now I love making gifts for my friends and family and its nice they want my gifts but really did everyone have to have there baby's in the same year lol I haven't blogged a lot as I just haven't made anything new yet as been busy with baby sets. 

I would make more things but since Christmas I have sold nothing that's right nothing and well I'm getting a little disheartened I might get the occasional little thing to make but mostly from family or friend that feel bad I'm hoping the baby madness may slow down near the end of the year so I can concentrate on making some gothic goodies.

I have how ever made a start on some Halloween items my fave being the eye ball book mark.

I love it and plan on making some key ring versions I also tried a new version of my pumpkins.

Which I adore I would love to have more done by now but juggling a 5 year old and a baby set which is done in blocks is difficult plus I do Zumba every day and well everything eats in to my time I also can't work at night as I can't have the light on as it attracts lots of moths and bugs lol so here is a peek at the current baby set taking shape.
This is the blanket it's taking longer than I like but never mind.
This is the little cardigan it still needs sleeves and a button band this will have a cute little glitter bow and so will the hat and booties I'm also making a little baby headband too.

Well I hope you all are well please pop over to my fb page for up to date makes and offers.

Hot Hot Hot!

Well hello again all.....


So summer has finally arrived and for that im thankful. Im more of a autumn winter person but tbh where i have been so ill i have welcomed it this year.

so schools nearly out and my daughters is due to finish for the summer and so i have been busy making teacher gifts for her lovely teachers these have taken longer than i liked as i have made them all without patterns. im really pleased with them so far i have made.....

 a mug cosy


 coaster

A little apple key ring

 and a apple cosy 

Each have been made with slightly different colours as my daughters reception class has 2 teachers and a TA (the TA's set will be red with a green apple). all which work so so hard to keep the madness under control lol. my daughter is making apple thank you cards and we are putting her hand print in air drying clay with thank you for being my teacher on it written by her.

I love how they have all come out and know the teachers will love them.

I cant believe my little girl will be in year 1 in September time is going so fast but she is doing so well and loves learning. i have no idea what im going to do with her over the 6 weeks but im sure will be lots of fun times ahead.

I will be starting my Christmas and Halloween items as well as a Christmas check list so keep checking my blogg out.

I hope everyone is enjoying the weather were ever you are.

 These were also one of my first for my daughters teachers when she left nursery last year and im about to make some more for her teachers from reception as shes about to go in to year 1.



I also did my first craft fair at my daughters school at Christmas and made these cute tree decs

it went well and made a bit but most of all i sold them all and had fun.

so when Easter came round i made these little egg cosys which went down very well with the kids and adults they were super fun to make 
 I also made these for my daughters teachers which they loved and i thought were super cute.


 So then came my recent ammies and this time these cuties were food related...

 squeeee!! cute cupcakes i called these the sprinkles i love them








and this is Mr sprinkles the doughnut hes super cute!!!



I also made some key rings for a food festival in my area



Im so pleased with how my crochet has come along i the last year and find it a great way to relax. i cant wait to show you my new things as i make them my latest ammi was this cutie for my daughters birthday i made her up and was super proud of it.

so that's me up to date i will now be showing you things that are in the making as im making them.
