Baby hats

There's lots of baby boys due to arrive soon so I've started to crochet little hats to help keep them warm in the new year.

I can't remember how small the hats need to be so I made them a little longer than they should be so that the edges can be turned up.

Sloe Gin label

So here it is, I have a long list of things to do but the weather is so rubbish and the little one's sleeping nicely so I thought id finish the Sloe Gin stamp quickly and I must admit I'm quite happy with it xx

Autumn is here!

Althought the weather's been great I'm already starting to feel Autumn is here! My favourite season :)

While my husband and little one sleeps I'm busy doodling a stamp ready for my Sloe 

Gin's that are busy infusing ready for Christmas!

Will post the finished results when they're done xx

Baby shopping bag

Just finished making Ffion (my 14 month old) a garden twine shopping bag, edged with a bit of colour and softer handles. 

Bridal garter

Before Ffion arrived I managed to make a bridal garter which I was quite pleased with so thought I'd show you.
This one took me some time as I hand stitched it but after doing a second with the sawing machine I would defiantly hand stitch next time.

Crochet ball

One project I managed to finish and am very proud of is a crochet ball for Ffion which she loves (but I do wish I put a rattle or bell in it). Even the owner of the pattern liked my ball enough to feature it on her Ravelry page :) xx

New arrival

My gorgeous little one arrived on her due date the 7th of April and the months since have been amazing and deceptively busy with non stop feeding. I've been finding it difficult getting used to the breastfeeding and housework while still trying to do a few crafty bits the same time but at the moment all I seem to do is start and never finish projects.

As you can see I failed to upload and blog my daily drawing challenge I gave myself but when I get a chance to scan what I did I'll let you all see my bad & rushed doodles.

The bit of crafts I've been trying to do while/ between feeding (becasue shes never been a good sleeper and only takes short naps) are my little crochet projects but I've not managed to finish them in time before Ffion's grown out of them so have been giving them as gifts. 

 I'm going to do my best to post and tweet as I go :)
