A while ago I looked around for new blogs to add to my reading list. One of the ones I found was In the sky. Lucy’s blog is so creative and I have truely enjoyed investigating her blog. I was especially glad that I found her blog when I won her ----tieth birthday giveaway!!!
Wow Lucy thank you. Afternoon tea will be an occasion. I am going to wash my hair and put on a frock!! Fingers are my ultimate, I could and probably will eat the entire box.
I am also grateful to Lucy's blog as it has enabled me to finish a UFO and that was one of my resolutions this year. I had made this colourful coffee cosy but had no idea how to attach it so it stayed on. Lucy drew my attention to Kumihimo-Japanese Braiding . It is such fun, so quick and the result is amazing. I used acrylic yarn but the finished product has (I think) a cotton texture to it. Great stuff thanks.
Other things I have been doing (between gradual spring clean of the glory holes and extreme dust bunnies)
More baby boots for my Aunts friends daughter, free pattern here
A knitting project because I am actually ashamed of how badly I knit. These are to cover creme eggs but they take me ages. They are Jean Greenhowe creatins and are also free Go get some!!
Finally I found this on tinternet here its a great tutorial and quite easy to make. Its up to you how to decorate.
The best bit is the handle detail, I LOVE this. I have already made several to fill with easter yummies and give to lovely friends
I can feel that I am in a manic phase of crafts as I have just spotted a new crochet blankie idea, it calls for Noro silk garden and Kureyon. I bought some silk garden a while ago (£12 what was I thinking) Its awful!! So I am looking for an alternative (cheaper version) It is going to be a Riot of colour. I will share this with you just as soon as I have had it sanctioned by the reigning in police. Have a smashing weekend, I am off to crochet, what else!!
What an interesting post! Such great ideas! The baby boots are so cute!

Those booties are so cute! I have been looking for patterns as I have some friends who are due soon, but I hadn't come across these before. Thank you so much for the link - I'll be giving them a go!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been busy! Love the coffee cosy, shame I don't drink coffee. I think your knitting looks great, those booties are very sweet.
ReplyDeleteAll these projects are just so delightful Louise.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting to read and see all these projects.

I have had a broken laptop, on my return to Blogland I noticed I had a little stampede of Lallylou-lou fans on my blog, I am so glad you like you 'prize', you must need the refreshment with all your creative hard work. I loved your post x Lucy
