Gorgeous colour , terrible to sew so I backed the Sherpa with an iron web …next time I will use a woven backing for a little more give …but it’s worked beautiful 

Violet was born …she is an Easter Gift for my friends grandchildren ..I’ve made a couple of the little blankie bunnies for the babies too

I’ve got no Strings ❤️

 I’ve got no strings

To hold me down
To make me fret
Or make me frown
I had strings
But now I’m free
There are no strings on me
Hi o the merio, that's
the only way to be!
I want the world to know
notin' ever worries me

I’ve got no strings so I have fun
I’m not tied up to anyone
They've got strings but 
you can see there are no strings 
on me!

You have no strings your
arms are free
To love me by the
Zeider Zee
Ya,ya,ya if you 
would woo 
I'd burst my strings 
for you

You've go no strings
comme ci comme ca
Your savoir faire is ooh
la la
I've got strings,but
entre nous
I'd cut my strings for you

Down where
de Volga flows
Dere's a Russian 
rendezvous
Where me and Ivan goes
But I'd rather go with
you,Hey!

There are no strings on me

At last she has done ! 💚💙💗❤️💜💛🧡🤍

 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 ) 




LolaMae ❤️ CuddleBear

 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 ❤️

Smile ❤️

 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 

https://www.patreon.com/Lisa_Pay

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 ❤️

Escape to the kitchen

 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

Feeling creative

 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 💗
