It’s taken me months … ok I have made several throws shawls and other projects in between
It’s taken me almost a week just to do the boarder … but I love it , just in time for the spring
Pattern by
Sue Rawlinson , SweetPeaFamily Crochet
Sweet Summer blanket ..
I made it bigger to fit my bed , and added an extra Dow of bobbles in the boarder
Wool was Emu Bird of paradise collection ( I believe )
She’s finished …for my Grandaughter ..I am thinking of making a couple for my shop , if I can find a nice plush ..or mohair ..I love plush this size as they are made to cuddle
And we all need one of those especially in these stressful days
Check out Lisa Pay on YouTube for her free Cuddlebear pattern ❤️
I removed myself from the news today …and took myself to my happy Place and have thoroughly enjoyed myself …finished up Humpty who is for sale …2 bears have homes ..Pinocchio I have to wait for some things to arrive before I can finish him ❤️
I taught teddy bear classes for years ..I always used to say , when you go on courses you can tell how good they are or how bad by what they leave out ..that little secret that makes the designs work …that makes what your making ,look like the designers version
Lisa shares it all in her Masterclass
I have already learnt a tremendous amount
I’m well impressed I’m making this boy ..and the terrier ..and I really think I want a goat LOL …I’ve always had a thing for goats
Well worth the £8.00 a month

And it’s sparked my creativity ..I’ve a.ways wanted to make a felt doll …I can see someone special being,ade for my shop over the coming weeks ❤️
I spent most of the day on my projects , a blue cuddle bear that’s an order and my Pinocchio
Lisa’s pattern is an absolute joy to to . So far I’ve not put a foot wrong and I’m loving it
Already planning a “ real boy to
Go with him
I’m thoroughly enjoying doing him
He’s sat on my work bench and I swear head smiling
The news is just gut wrenching to watch
A Ukrainian Facebook users shared images this morning , I sobbed
I bought some patterns last night of a Ukrainian artist who has escaped with her children to Poland .. so glad she has made it to safety , I can only imagine what it must be like to leave everyone and everything you love behind
So go to Etsy and buy PDF files from Ukrainian right now it may be their only income
So I escaped the news today and played in the kitchen
So exited about this x
Prep’ing patterns
I always either cut my patterns out on plastic or card so as I can keep,and reuse them
I print them off and use a decoupage medium to glue them to card and stiffen them
It takes ages , but it’s worth it 💗
Another lovely bear using Lisa Paye pattern
This one is for Little Elliot who is 3 this week ❤️
I love These girls with the coloured hair and tanned skin tone
Really wish someone would bring back Pippa now 💗
My lovely other half found out I always wanted a Norwegian jumper so he bought me the pattern and yarn , gorgeous soft touch merino wool ❤️
Can’t wait to start , but I have to finish my crochet cardie and jumper first
