Hi guys

Long time no blog! I have been super busy with baby prep and just haven't found the time, but I really wanted to share these pics with you of one of my recent crochet projects.  It is Max the African Flower Bulldog, pattern purchased from Heidibears Etsy store.

Overall I am really pleased with how this turned out, in hindsight I just wish I had left it open for a while so I could add a bit more stuffing once it went down but nevermind.

What do you think? Have you made any of Heidibears patterns before?

Crochet Baby Makes - What I have made for my bubba so far...Part 4

crochet baby jogging bottoms trousers pants capri tutorial youtube handmade newborn

Like the converse style booties in one of my recent posts, I went for green yarn again, this time making some baby jogging bottoms.  I think they are absolutely adorable and am really hoping that they will fit.

I found a YouTube tutorial, I believe it was called Baby Capri Trousers or something like that but it was really easy to follow and I love them!

What do you think of these cute baby jogging bottom trousers?

Hi guys

An extra little post today just to show some Filofax personal size inserts I have created and have for sale on my Etsy shop.

They are reading list book tracker pages so that you can keep track of the books you have read throughout the year, maybe even set yourself a target of how many you would like to read before the New Year!  You can also rate each book out of 5 stars.

I hope you like them, I am finding them very useful indeed :0)

Crochet Baby Makes - What I have made for my bubba so far...Part 3

crochet ripple wave baby blanket lucys attic 24 attic24 pattern with border

Next up is a ripple wave blanket using the Attic24 pattern but with an amended border that I tweaked myself.

The bedroom is grey and white so I have been keen to make some blankets that will match this.

The blanket is a cot size blanket and can be used in the pram or car seat also if folded up a bit smaller.

Today's post is just a quickie to show you some pics of our beautiful chevron wall my hubby has painted in our nursery.  

I saw pics on Pinterest and showed them to him one evening.  I said "Don't worry, I'm not expecting you to do this but how cool does it look".  To my surprise he replied that if it was what I wanted then he would do it.  Fast forward a couple of weeks and hey presto!

I am so pleased with how it has come out.  I will be doing a YouTube video Nursery Tour a bit closer to the due date when the nursery is complete but for now, this is a glimpse!

Crochet Baby Makes - What I have made for my bubba so far...Part 2

crochet baby converse style high top booties handmade wool yarn newborn

Next up is this cute pair of 'Converse' style crochet baby booties.

I have made then in green as we are keeping the gender of the baby a surprise so everything we get / I make must be gender neutral.

I live and sleep in my converse so there is no way that my baby isn't going to have some too.  Not sure I can warrant £25.00 on real baby converse right now that they will grow out of in a month so the crochet version for now must suffice.

What do you think of my baby crochet converse?

Crochet Baby Makes - What I have made my bubba so far...Part 1

crochet baby blanket fleece fabric backing handmade thick warm snugly throw


Here is the first item I have completed for my impending bubba due in November later this year.

I made a basic rectangle blanket using a alternate DC SC method, kind of similar to that used to make dish cloths / wash cloths, then found a fleece fabric I loved and had this sewed to one side for extra comfort and warmth.  I used three strands of DK yarn of different colours at one time and a 10mm crochet hook.

As said the baby is due in November so will be a winter baby so must be kept warm and snug!

Let me know what you think :0)

Anyone remember Wheres Wolly?! I saw these cute stickers at The Range and couldn't resist.  Also had help decorating using my Studio L2E clear stamps.

Hello - I am back!

Well it has been quite a few months since I last got a chance to write my little blog, it has been on my mind often, but finding the time has been somewhat difficult!

Nevertheless I am going to start getting back on the blogging bandwagon and thought I would provide you with a little update.

Things have been crazy hectic for me lately.  First off, I made a crochet tutorial video on YouTube which was received warmly and has sent my YouTube subscribers through the roof to over 2,000! So I am working on a new crochet tutorial video for you ASAP, I dont want to let you all down.

More importantly, I found out earlier on in the year that myself and my husband have been blessed with a wee bubba due towards the end of November 2015 so that has had me in a whirlwind of sickness, tiredness and first time mummy conundrums! Still, I have lived through it so far and I am sure I will survive :0)  We have our second scan tomorrow which is very exciting!

All in all I have lots to share with you over the next couple of weeks, lots of catch up photos on various different crafts and crochet items I have made for the bubba, little snippets of decor in our newly painted nursey, and much much more so I hope you are with me along the way.  

I am also probably going to be posting some mummy type questions so if any of you can help that would be much appreciated as I havent got a clue what I am doing!

Custom Made Penny Board

Ok, for my husbands birthday back in November I ordered him a custom made, design your own Penny Board straight from the Penny Board Official Website.  It cost no more than a standard Penny board and I loved that we could make it exactly how we wanted it, right down to the colour of the trucks and the bolts.  

The second picture was the finished design we had submitted that we built on the website and the first picture is what came.

Hubby is over the moon with it and, like with all things he does, has taken to it like a duck to water.  He can skate, ice skate, skateboard, snowboard, the lot.  Yep, one of them.  But good for him, I wish I could but I think I need a bit more practice on my Lush longboard first.

Let me know what you think.  Do you have a Penny Board?

Woop woop the day finally come last week.  I now own the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette woohoooooo!!!!!

My husband gave me a challenge that I successfully completed, and the prize was...the Naked 2 palette (yes, he is awesome).

I already own Naked 3 and am not sure I am going to bother with Naked as I don't think the shades will suit my complexion, we shall see though. 

All in all, one happy girl this weekend when I got to put it to the test on Friday night date night, it looked amaze-balls.

Hey guys

Last weekend I embarked upon this epic morning of cutting and hole punching all my new page a day diary inserts for my Filofax planner.  It took me all morning but I must admit I love these pages, it was totally worth it.  I really didn't want to just have another year of standard Filofax inserts so took to Etsy and found this new seller on there selling beautiful pages like these.

Hey guys, 

Another one from me and this time it is to show you a crochet gift I made for my mum.

I had her a pair of rainbow stripy socks for Christmas and although they look big in the photo they did actually fit her kinda like slipper socks.  They certainly looked cosy anyway!

Another thumbs up for handmade crochet gifts for family members at Christmas!

Crochet Finglerless Gloves Christmas Present

Hey guys

This is just a quick post to show you some fingerless gloves I crocheted for my dad for chChristmas He is forever doing DIY and odd jobs around the house but gets quite cold whilst doing it and is always wearing a pair of fingerless gloves.

If you are like me and always stuck for what to get your dad for Christmas I decided something sentimental and handmade would go down a treat for him, I was right.

He absolutely loved them and has been wearing them so that is a big thumbs up for crochet handmade gifts for family members at Christmas!
