arggh scary ... first Etsy shop listing!! :0

Well here we go, my very first listing has been added to my Esty shop!!
Really interested to see how it goes!!
I am an avid user of eBay and have sold a few of my bags on there but wanted to add them to a site dedicated to selling hand crafted items.
I`m actually quite nervous about it because I always wonder if the bag or whatever I have made is good enough!!
So we shall see how it goes!! wish me luck!

Crochet baby hat update

 I've nearly finished the baby hat off with a frilly crochet flower!!










I think i`ll have to add a centre to the flower?? but its very nearly there!!
although looking at it I think its going to be too big for our grand daughter...
oh well.... have to make another one!! ;)

Big flowers, small flowers, frilly flowers......

 Small flower tutorial link
Here`s the finished item :)

My new love :)

Crochet!! gota love crochet!!
when i was little I remember my mum trying to teach me to crochet, she`d made some of those little squares in an array of flashy colours... well its was the 70`s ;)
I see this type of things back in vogue though?! anyway what`s not to love, its relatively easy, cheap-ish depending on the wool you use and its oh so quick and satisfying!!
Have to say if you want to learn how to Youtube and Expert Village can pretty much teach you how, there`s some brilliant tutorials out there, this lady is Fabulous!!
So inspired by the Youtube tutes got myself down to our local craft shop in the market in town and bought me some wool.


I`m proud to present my latest crochet baby hat!!
later today I will work on adding a flower of some sort ?? not sure, I'm not decided on what to add yet. will update with finished hat :)
