Time To Go On Some Crafting Adventures
I wanted to make a pencil roll as part of a gift, but wanted to make something a little bit different. After a few sketches and quite a few rejected ideas I settled on a crocodile theme (I also had another idea and have a feeling that may pop up on here soon too!). I… Continue reading Snapping at the pens – a crocodile pencil roll
I wanted to make a drawstring bag as a gift, but wanted to make something a little bit different to usual, so while thinking few some ideas I came to think about the possibility of making something ocean themed and from that I came to the decision to make a fish themed drawstring bag.

If it had been a wedding or a new baby card I would have had a number of different ones for the occasion… Continue reading Time for some card making – when an almost disaster turns out ok!

I've had some green wool on… Continue reading Crochet Yoda Book Buddy
I've gone for a summery themed make for this months free pattern over on Patreon with this lolly sunglasses case.

The… Continue reading Crochet Lolly Sunglasses Case
