They both wanted to be witches and as they are the best of friends they […]

Happy Halloween! Trick or Treat?
I wanted to crochet something for Halloween but like the idea of making it useful as well as decorative. Here is the result…..looks pretty straightforward doesn’t it? Just a pretty ordinary Witch’s hat? Aha! But it has a secret! Just lift up the top and you have a crocheted bowl, the perfect place to hide your Trick or […]

Thomas B Ramsden and the Advent Christmas Tree Crochet Along CAL

Who’s hoping for Minions of Easter Eggs?! (Day 2)

Who’s hoping for Minions of Easter Eggs?! (Day 1)
Me? Personally I don’t find chocolate remotely despicable but neither do my teenagers so I have to resort to hiding what I consider to be “mine”. This Minion is helping me out. I’ve told the teens that he’s a crochet hook holder but actually he’s hiding my chocolate egg in there – shush, don’t tell them! […]

I’d made some extras which sold out almost straight away so I thought I’d share the pattern with you. You can currently get it as […]
