crochet, bodyshop and new unit

What a boring title post, i couldn't think of what to put. Has anyone tried the bodyshop body butter? Katy at i'm a ginger monkey sent me some as a gift last christmas and i have fallen in love with it , it smell so lovely. Well i needed some more so decided to throw a body shop party for a friend (which ment i got mine for free), since then my oldest daughter has signed up and become a consultant for body shop.So my night time knitting has now gone out the window as most of my friends are holding parties for her, which means i have been invited to them, i can see this costing me money lol.
I just fancied making something differant from the cotton cloths and mug warmers which i have orders for and wipped up this really quick, it crochet and iv'e turned it into a bobble for my youngest daughter. the pattern for the flower i found here
why is this the wrong way round?? It's my new set of drawers which i picked up the other day, its much nicer in real, white wood with wicker baskets which are now al full of dvd's and ds games, all neatly put away. The heart which is hanging on the front was a gift from Natalie at Summer by the sea.

Last night i was just in the mood to get my machine out again and have been waiting to make up this basket which is a tutorial by Pink Penguin over there in my favs list.I made it just the right size to hold some of my knitted cotton cloths.
