Who’s hoping for Minions of Easter Eggs?! (Day 2)
This little chap is highly trained in subterfuge and able to cunningly disguise the fact that he is on a secret mission to keep my teenagers from finding my (did I say it’s MY?) chocolate Easter Egg! Continuing on from my previous post this is the second part of the instructions on how to make […]

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! […]

Stash busting Pop Art campervan cushion cover
I’m pretty sure most of us can’t resist squirrelling away lots of yarn, even those little bits and bobs that have been rescued from partially created items. It seems such a waste to get rid of them yet they aren’t quite long enough to make into “proper” items. That’s when stash busting patterns are perfect! […]

Sheep Dip Island Resort – crocheted happy place!
I’ve had so much fun creating this! The Sheep first made an appearance at Yarndale last year and they seem to have been well loved. They’ve had a busy year and I thought that they might appreciate a break. So, here it is – Sheep Dip Island! The perfect place for my sheep to get […]

Here come the Girls – Doll knitting pattern
I have two teenage boys and a husband so, other than the cat, I’m the only female in the house. Though I don’t think of myself as a girly girl, I do have the occasional rebellious inclination to make something which could be construed as “girly”. The “Girls” are my current project! I’m having lots of fun […]

Yan, Tan and Tethera, the dangly crocheted sheep from Yarndale
Yarndale 2015 was a very busy occasion! These little sheep made their first public appearance there and seemed to enjoy themselves immensely (though they get a little boisterous when excited!). 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 […]

Hug-a-Bug, the crocheted Beetle
Who can resist the classic VW Beetle? My Husband had an orange Beetle as his first car. My eldest son, now 17, wants a Beetle as his first car too! With it’s friendly shape, the VW Beetle was the inspiration for my latest crochet pattern, the Hug-a-Bug. As with most classic cars, he has been […]

Surf Bus Campervan Tapestry Pattern
This “Surf Bus” is one three campervan designs which my very clever Dad has created (he’s also done a Bay and a T25 but I’m leaving those as a surprise for another day!). We thought this design would look great as a cushion front so we’ve created a chart for you to follow and make up […]

Rainbow Campervans
Not long now until Yarndale which of course is all things woolly. Felt is woolly too but I’ve put down the knitting needles and crochet hook and picked up my sewing needle instead to make these little Campervan Decorations. I thought you might like to have a go at making them too so I’ve made up […]
