Amineko Cat

I have made my first Amineko Cat! He has been in the works for awhile, so close to being finished then I got distracted and left him in a pile of bits...but last night I stitched him together,gave him a cute face and now here he is!
 
 



What a cutie-pie, gee I love him so much already :)

Crochet obsession....much!

Crochet is taking over my life! No day is complete without a bit of 'hooky' time and the following photos are just a few of the things I've made recently. Not to mention the amigurumi cat I have had laying around with no legs for the past month....no we couldn't have photos of him on here, noooooo!
 Little frames from an old Mollie Makes, can also be found  here at Lola Nova.
A little heart from this pattern.
The beginnings of a new cushion....to continue my pastel makeover.


 A cute cupcake made from here. The flower was another Mollie Makes pattern. 
This weekend I have plans for some fabric fun, I really need to sew again after such a big break....and my home looks as if it has been yarn bombed, which I suppose it has!
Happy creating xxx

Happy Owl

Who doesn't love owls? They are everywhere these days, but why not! Here is a happy little chap that I made over the weekend from Bunny Mummy's pattern  and he is now flying his way to my Mam in law in Ireland. I will have to make more, because I want one now haha...if I had babies I think they could become a great mobile hanging from a branch, maybe with a cloud or two as well!

Purple flowers and a mossy rabbit

The supermarket has been kind to me this week. Firstly in the Easter section I fell in love with the mossy rabbit, so he came home with me. Then I treated myself to a bunch of beautiful Iris flowers, aren't they divine?! I adore the colour combination of purple and yellow and I think the mossy rabbit does too ;)
 



I am getting excited about Easter and easter decorating. It is my favourite time of the year...bunnies, chocolate and hot cross buns, what's not to love. Oh and how can I forget the pastel colours!
Looking so forward to all the easter projects that should be popping up on the blogs over the next few weeks.

Tuxedo San

I have been non stop crocheting lately as I have become a little obsessed with amigurumi. This cutest penguin ever has been in my mind since last year when I found him on google images and I finally discovered that there was a free pattern, how did I miss that??!
 

 So cute I thought I'd make a girl one too...
 She's not quite as good as the first one, but still cute.
Aaaaaw, my little penguin couple...maybe soon there will be the pitter patter of baby penguin feet :)
