wip's

Have you seen the tutorial on Sara's blog over at paper and string? It's for making these lovely felt purses.
I couldn't stop at one and ended up making four of them!


Here's my wip , after making my crochet blanket i really wanted to make another one, this time it's a bit brighter with red as the main colour.

more of the crochet blanket n treats for me

These are the treats for me, my daughter is a body shop consultant and i had a party for her last week, heres what i got, some lovely smelling cherry flavour shower gel, i also got the body butter to go with it, it smells so yummy and who could resist pink large nail files?

I have been wabting some of these lovely brushes for a while now.
I have sewed up the pile of granny squares i have been making because i just couldn't wait anymore, now i am still making them and adding round, it's quite big all ready but im going to keep going until i run out of yarn, its so soft.



I have just come across the lovely atic24 blog which has some of the most lovely crochet going on and where i found the pattern for this, its just a jam jar but im going to use it on my table to put pens etc in.



While doing the food shopping i picked up some mini daffs which are just the right size for my shabby chic tea cup.

one for me and one for you

I have been having a break from the granny squares and trying out a few tutorials. Heres a knitted flower which i found on ravelry and i have made this one for you, just leave a comment on this post and i will do a draw, i havn't put a broach pin on the back of this flower because i thought i could be used on anything really.

The secomd make is this lovely valentine heart which has a crochet edge, now i have had this one printed of for ages and only just got round to making it, i found it on blog land and i think it is by orange flower, but this ones for me.
