New Ripple Blanket

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I recently went though my yarn stash & decided I need to use some of it up.
I had quite alot of baby cotton, so I figured I’d make a new ripple blanket.
As the yarn was called baby & the colours all feel abit baby like, I decide to make a smaller ripple, I haven’t decided [...]

Sneak Peek – Tuesday

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Crocheting again, I haven’t really made anything in awhile, so it feels good to have a new project to work on. I need to crochet new slippers because our stairs keep destroying my old ones or maybe we should fix the stairs =P

New design

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Another blogger inspired me to design this dress, the crochet collar pattern is from Shay over at The Ongoing Project, thanks Shay for letting me use your pattern for this dress, I have a few others planned.
I like the idea of combining sewing & crocheting & have more ideas in my head for other [...]

Crochet Rose, Autumn Leaves

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Autumn is here with lovely rich colours & inspiration.
New ideas & new projects, an urge to bake & organise.
I need to finish a few things for customers & then I hope to be able to sew some clothes for myself.
Wishing you all a lovely relaxing autumn weekend, filled with colour & inspiration.

Little of this, little of that.

Some alterations I did on prom dresses, I added a plaited chiffon band to the dress I altered awhile ago.
The left photo is a dress I made bigger by removing the zip, adding a backing fabric, eyelets & corset boning. Ignore the turquoise ribbon, she used something else, but it was what I had [...]

Easter

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

This is for a customer, she gave me the coat & told me to play, with a few guidelines to follow. This is what I’ve done so far, the pockets haven’t been sewn on yet, I’m changing the neckline & a few more little things.

The mask is for a future project, fabric [...]

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Red tiger is getting in the Spring feeling with his new crocheted hat.
I’m slowly getting started on my list of projects, tests have been made, patterns are being drafted, customers need to be called.
Inbetween all this I’m trying to squeeze in a quick projects for myself, alittle here, alittle there & I should get some [...]

Completed projects

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Projects I’ve been working on, crocheted alpaca twisty scarf, it’s abit short to be worn as a scarf, so for me it’s more like a pretty collar/neck warmer. The dress form I used for the photo is for a child about 8 yrs old, so it would fit them perfectly.
Simple t-shirt that I’m going [...]

I’m Back

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

I’m back, it was nice having a little blogging break to get new energy & balance.
I’ve finished the wedding dress for my customer, but I don’t have any photos. She wanted it all to be a secret, so I am respecting that, but I will get photos of the dress later.
Here are some of the [...]

I love prizes

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

I got my prize from Craftboom yesterday & I have some things soaking while I’m writing this. I don’t think I’ll mind doing handwashing anymore.

I’ve been busy with lots of small projects, one of them being this key ring for my keys. I have lots more photos to show of all these little projects, but [...]
