Some sewing and crochet.

I don't know about the weather where you are but it was bright blue skies and sunshine here on Wednesday, (not now though it's tipping it down!) Anyway I couldn't go out and garden as the builders outside my house had broken a water pipe so no water all day. There was only one thing for it a bit of sewing whilst Lily playdoughed. I got my machine out for the first time this year and made some funny Easter bunnies, there were a few as I couldn't decide on the fabric!

I'm not too sure about the eyes and noses lol.

Then a few lavender filled hearts and a little bird.

Spring, hopefully, will soon be here, Tildas 'Crafting Springtime Gifts' is off the shelf and the list is being made!

I've also been busy on the crochet front I made a rose tea cosy, not that I drink tea but that's neither here nor there! I started this from a pattern found on the net. It was something to do whilst watching Snakes on a Plane - quite weird and scary - the film not the crochet! Anyway because I kept hiding behind the pattern I got completely lost so I finished by just doing my own thing.

Another thing that has had me flummoxed was a vintage rose cap pattern, it took three attempts. I realised after a few rows that the hook size was wrong, the hat would've fitted Barbie! Using a bigger hook and it was okay for Tiny Tears, finally with a very large hook it fit Lily and she loves it as she can pull it over her eyes and can see through the gaps. Luckily the hat only took a couple of hours to crochet.

My January swap has been received by Claire at Dollydollop. The theme was Cath Kidstonesque, I embroidered an heart and stuffed it with lavender, crocheted a garland of flowers and decoupaged a frame with CK tissues and then added a pink polka dot mug.

I've also been given another award from the wonderful Angel at shabby angel.

The authors say that blogs who receive this award are exceedingly charming. This blog invests in proximity in space, time and relationships. These kind bloggers aim to find and be new friends.

I know I should now be giving this to 8 people but it appears to have done the rounds if you haven't had it you are most welcome to take it. (Angel you've already got this! lol)

Have a great weekend and wrap up warm it's going to be a cold one.
