A few bits and bobs I've made this past month first a few crochet flower and fabric yoyo brooches that 18 of Jodie's friends asked 'Do you think your mum would make me one too'!
I do like to crochet flowers as they're so quick to do but apart from brooches I never know what to do with them so I crocheted a clothes hanger cover and added one to it.
I adore this ballerina fabric but only managed to buy 10 3'' squares I wish I could get a FQ of it so if anyone has seen it anywhere can you let me know.
I made myself a small drawstring bag as well from some rose squares.
Then I thought I'd try Mitmot on the SCC's tutorial for a needlecase and pincushion I kinda rushed the needlecase so the binding looked atrocious in the corner a little crochet flower sorted that! The trouble is most of the time when I'm sewing I have to multitask and play playdough, do cutting and sticking, painting etc as Lily sits at the other end of the table understandably wanting attention.
Carrying on with the tutes Lace did one for fabric buckets so I thought I'd try them out they are fab to do and so easy, one for me and one for Lily.
Warning they are a tad addictive.
And finally one of littlegem's brooches I backed my fabric with interfacing but I actually prefer littlegem's unbacked ones these are great to make too.
Well that's about it apart from boringly blocking crochet hexagons and making my Easter swap bits that went in the post today so should be winging their way to hollypops as we speak.
Enjoy the rest of the week and have a lovely weekend.

Beautiful! I wish I could get that amount of things made, I must try harder. x
Wow you have been busy. They look lovely, well done you :0)
Loving all your makes, and thanks for showing your brooch too. Well done on your 18 crochet brooches, you could be making a fortune from them!! X
you always put me to shame with the amount of crafting you do and everything always looks so fantastic!
I'm not sure about the fabric, I thought it might be Michael Miller but I couldn't find it, I have an apron I won on a giveaway with a childrens party on it which is very similar to the dancer one you have there. I will keep my eye out.
You have been busy!
Little Gems brooches are proving to be very popular.
All your makes are lovely but I especially love the fabric buckets.
I'm not brave enough to try them but my lovely partner is a whizz on the machine and he's said he'll make some for me....Yippee!
Takae care

You have been busy! The fabric buckets would be great for Easter eggs!
You have to be one of the most industrious bloggers in the Blogosphere! Lovely work - as usual. x
That would be lovely if you could let me have the pattern - I'd love to crochet a hanger cover. Thank you so much. xxx
I love your crochet flowers with the pretty fabric bit sandwiched in the middle. I must have a go at making one of those fabric buckets, what a great idea! You have been soooo busy, I wish I could be as productive. So glad I popped in to see your blog.
