Cushions . . .

As I am currently trying to re-vamp my room I have been making some Cath Kidston inspired cushions to go on my bed . . . with the help of my sister of course :) . . . and I think they will look pretty good in my room when its finished.

Rawrr . . .

Amigurumi Dinosaur . . . I think he is my new favourite :) . . . again easy to make just using and adapting a simple ball this time adding little felt spikes and a velvety tummy too.

Button Biscuits . . .

I made these little shortbreads and thought they could also make good gifts, maybe without the food colouring next time . . . but they tasted lovely anyway . . . even if a little crispy :)

Napkin Flower . . .

I made this flower yesterday after seeing this tutorial for wallflowers, but instead of using 4 whole napkins as she did, I cut one into four pieces to make a smaller flower which I think will go in the wrapping cupboard to go on a gift at some point . . .

Cupcake Bear . . .

After seeing them pop up all over the place I decided to have a go at making one of these and personally i think he looks pretty cute :)

Apple Paperweight . . .

I recently saw this post on 'You Go Girl!' and had an idea to make a similar thing as a paperweight for my desk . . . I made it using a pattern for a juggling ball and adding a leaf to make look more apple-like.

Amigurumi Piggy . . .

Not too sure about this one . . . looks kind of interesting . . . but easy to make all the same by following this tutorial for making a ball and just adapting it in places to make a piggy nose etc.

Citrus Cupcakes . . .

So, I made these cakes today which actually turned out more like muffins than cupcakes and tasted lovely. Just decorated them with either citrus glace icing, orange buttercream or lemon drizzle topping . . . and I think they look very loverly - even if fairly yellow. They also went in the cakebook :) .

Granny Squares . . .

Recently I had an idea to make a crocheted bag out of lots of granny squares . . . they are really simple to make and when I put them all together it should look good . . .



To make ones like this you just . . . chain 4
double crochet back into the first chain
chain two and double crochet 3 into the same chain
do this 3 times
slip stitch into the turning chain
chain 3
double crochet in every stitch
at each corner do 2 double crochets in the first chain
make 2 chains and then do 2 double crochets into the next chain
carry on until its as big as you want it

:)

Bangle Holder . . .

So . . . I've ran out of space to keep all my bangles and found a solution in painting a kitchen roll holder a nicer colour and felting the bottom and personally I think it looks pretty good.

Crochet Cup . . .

I'm currently re-decorating my bedroom so I thought a new cup to hold pens would be a nice addition . . . I made it by changing in between single, double and triple crochet in a tube shape over a plain glass - simples.

Crochet Roses . . .

I found this really easy tutorial to make crotcheted roses which can really be used for anything from decorating toys and vases to making hair accessories like I have done here.

Amigurumi Sheepie . . .

I have recently got into crochet, starting with Amigurumi Animals like this sheep which I have made by adapting the simple ball pattern and adding my own arms, legs, and ears.
