I haven’t really progressed much with my zettified art doll… actually, I haven’t done any further crochet at all!
but I have been having lots of ideas
I have sketched out the face, and have plans for the hat and some other additional features
so I’m excited to get some more work done on her, now that I [...]
sing along with me…
well I saw this thing comin’ out of the sky
it had one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin’ and I said “oohhh-eeee”
it looks like a purple people eater to me
the vibrant purple didn’t photograph as well as I’d hoped… but he was fun to make!
you’re looking at the basic building blocks of my current swap project at silly string
once again, I am entering uncharted waters with this one!
the plan is that we take our inspiration from the art work of teesha moore, and then design a ‘doll’ which will be personally significant to our swap partner… it must be [...]
made to hang in my daughter’s room… five stuffed felted hearts, spelling out her name
worked in reclaimed yarns, and adorned with the beads from one of her (many) broken bracelets!

desmond the lion now has a head full of features, but I have come to a standstill with the remainder of this toy
I’ve tried many variations for the body… but none that I’m super pleased with!
so desmond is going into hibernation for a little while, until I can look at him with fresh eyes
I must still be feeling the after-effects of valentines day… and have hearts on the brain!
this bag is based on my ‘little miss two’ pattern, with a few modifications
as always, I have worked with reclaimed yarns… this time a pink wool and a purple ribbon yarn
throughout the body of the bag, I turned my work [...]
48 hours worth of head spins and cold sweats…
and yet somewhere in amongst it all, I was desperate to get my hands on some crafting!
not that I was actually capable of sitting upright without support… but these things can be done in any position…
at least I was wise enough not to ‘work’ on any of [...]
I had a perm exactly like this… back in the early eighties! what a flashback
I’ve been working on designing a knitted lion, but I’m struggling to get ‘in the zone’ with it
so yesterday I put down the needles, and picked up my crochet hook instead…
meet desmond the lion (or part thereof)
he has an [...]
when it comes to my crafting, I am really focussed on using reclaimed and recycled materials… and this extends to include the embellishments as well
I love embellishments… they are that extra touch that you add to a project to really make it stand out from the rest… your embellishment can make even the simplest item [...]
