Another granny cushion

 

Yet another granny square cushion! I started this one quite a while ago and at the time was inspired by all the Union Jack decor around, so this cushion definitely has a 'Brittish' feel to it. It has now been gifted to my dear friend at the dreamers garden to enjoy.

 

 

Linking up here today.

Crochet ...I just can't seem to get enough of it lately! Just before I went away, I crafted up this cutie as a birthday treat for a dear friend who has a special place in her heart ( and her home!) for ginger kitties. I think he is so sweet even with his crooked smile and now I think I must make one for myself in the image of my handsome gentleman cat, Oliver.

 

This ginger tabby is now happy in his new loving home, aaw!

Halloween has just been and gone. It's a shame it isn't really a big deal here in Australia...but since Halloween originates from the celts, Ireland really knows how to celebrate! Here are just a few cute shop displays I snapped while away in Ireland and the Uk. Maybe next year I will take inspiration from these and go all out and decorate the house with webs, witches and pumpkins.

 

 

 

And a beautiful owl I photographed at Dublin Zoo. Hoo  hoo!

pretty pandas

Well hello, it has been a while! Please excuse my blogging break as I have been on a month's holiday in Ireland and England...photos to come in future posts, once my jetlag subsides!

 

Just before I went away I was crocheting like mad to finish a few more pandas to give away whilst in Ireland. They are much adored in their new homes. I love them and there will be more on the way too....

 

The purple one may look familiar from here

Sewing machine cover

Making a cover for my sewing machine has been on my 'to do' list for a very long time and the other day I was finally able to cross it off!

 

These are my favourite colours and I love that apple print so much. A quick and easy little projectto satisfy the sewing urge.

pastel nail varnish love

The weather is warming up,it's just about time for flip flops which also means time for pretty toenails! But which colour to choose?? I might go with all of them!

cutest panda ever!

Still in the mode of 'small projects', I crocheted my first ever 3D toy!

 Ooooh, I adore him.

 I followed the pattern in 'Meet me at Mikes'. Way back when I bought this book I couldn't even crochet, so I looked at this panda and thought "no chance"...

 But here he is...there was no way he was going to be a normal black and white panda,hehehe.

Out and about, smelling the jasmine.

 

All I can say to anyone who thinks this little fella is beyond them, DON"T! Please give it a go. It is just one basic stitch and a little bit of increasing/decreasing....and patience. But it is so worth the effort, you'll be so proud of yourself! I'd love to see one of these guys on every crocheter's page.
