Making the Owl be there for you *Card Purse has been so exciting. I had seen a pattern on Pinterest for an owl motif quite some time ago and I had in mind that I might make my Mom an owl purse (she LOVES owls) but wasn’t really sure how to bring my idea to life....
Yellow Rainbow Heart *Card Purse
This week has been a little strange. Hubby and I both not feeling 100% (although his chesty cough seems to have exploded into something far worse leaving him tied to the bed only rising occasionally for a cup of tea). It has also been his birthday this week – poor soul. No one deserves a birthday feeling miserable....
Seahorse *Card Purse
I was contacted last week with a request for a card purse. If it could please have a seahorse on it and the preferred colour would be green. I’ve never crocheted a seahorse but immediately my crafty senses were zinging with ideas. Challenge accepted ✔️ At first I was going to make the seahorse using...
Granny Square 70’s top
I finished this top for myself in July 2016. The weather is getting better by the day here and I was hoping to take it out for wearing. Only problem it seems is that the lovely Mr Weatherman (who has now been fired by the way) told us over the TV today that the coming...
Butterbrickle *Card Purse
Butterbrickle *Card Purse – doesn’t that name sound awesome? I was thinking of calling it “Peppermint Crisp” *Card Purse, however, looking at the name of the yarn (for future reference) I just loved how the word “Butterbrickle” sounded and rolled off the tongue .. a new word to me… I just had to use it for the purse. Soft caramels...
Raspberry Ripple *Card Purse
As mentioned in my recent post Sally’s Birthday *Coin Purse and Raspberry Ripple *Coin Purse I had received quite a lot of interest from the ladies at the party about the *Coin purse I made for my friend her for her birthday. Following the trend, I’ve also now made a *card purse version of this. I’ve left it...
Lisa’s Blanket a year on…
While working on a project, I’m not sure if its just in my case, but I find it funny how one thinks back to previous projects made, trying to compare the times it took to make the previous and compare it with your current WIP. I’m constantly trying to compare and often hear myself asking “How...
Forget-Me-Not *Card Purse
Unforgettable Forget-Me-Not Purse This week has been a crazy mixture of events. I got a new laptop (YAY – it works without being plugged in (shock) and doesn’t sound like an airplane taking off. I did the first run I’ve had in 2 years (admittedly spluttering and gasping for air – not quite the fit athlete I was...
Custom order – Three *Card purses
The journey of creating big(ger) purses (Please take part in my survey) I’ve had a couple of people mention that I’d might want to think about purses which could hold credit cards. In these ‘modern times’ (I’m told), more plastic is held in purses than actual coins / cash. TBH, I had thought about conducting...
