Crafter's Corner

I don't know the answer to that Java, but I would never dream of washing anything I've worked, it would ruin it.

 

Lovely tapestries Sheal , yes I bet the 4ply wool would be difficult to work with especially looking at the material its worked on!!!!! big like that glittery thread, I hate using that it frays and knots grrr but does look lovely.

 

I don't think my daughter ever forgave me for crocheting her some hot pants when she was about 9 years old.

She has now taught herself to crochet from a left handed tutorial on the web and these are some of her first efforts - think I may get something crocheted for Christmas.

 

They are great GA. I like them all. I am so looking forward to going back to crochet work this coming Winter,

Me too Jenny - I think I am going to give it a go. Trouble is daughter has took all my crocheting needles. Guess who it will be buying another set!!!!!!!!!

 

These look more fun than my old ones GA

They look quite funky - I'll let her keep the traditional ones but I can imagine her saying
'Mum do you want your old ones back for old time sakes - I'll have the coloured ones'.

 

well done to your daughter, Annie. Those characters that she has crocheted so finely will last a longtime, because the crochet stitch is quite bulky and strong.

 

cushions of the world from ETSY>>>>>

 

I love the Reindeer Annie, he's so cute!

 

Love the 2 half a cat cushions Java...
are these all things that you have made yourself?

these cushions are taken from the site etsy, where there is endless inspiration for creative people! I just enjoy so much looking at them, anticipating the moment when I will have some time to make something...
Some cushions can look nice but be impractical.

 

MrH has been making use of some branches from a plum tree for a bit of stick making.
