CORNER TO CORNER CROCHET – FREE DOWNLOAD
This is a relatively new technique for me. I first came across it as part of a CAL blanket in 2016, but last year I realised you can make pixelated images by using cross stitch or knitting patterns. Mind you I wouldn’t pick…
2nd ENTRY OF THE YEAR
I’m working hard to keep this reflective practise up. So I have chronic sinusitis and this year it has been worse than ever. No gross details, but it’s starting to affect my life a bit too much. See I had planned on kicking…
WILL I LEARN TO DRAW THIS YEAR? YES, I THINK I WILL
Up until quite recently, I haven’t been that confident with my creative skills. Especially when it comes to anything 2D like drawing or painting. Whenever it comes up that I went to an Art University, I’m quick to add “but I can’t draw”,…
CROCHET AUTUMN LEAVES – FREE PATTERN
This is my favourite time of the year. Mind you I might say that every time a new season starts. Though I don’t go to school anymore I still get a strong start of school flashback every year that makes me buy new…
CROCHET UNICORN ALICE BAND – FREE PATTERN
I got a request to make one of these, but after some googling was convinced that I should just buy one. I mean they are everywhere at the moment and I’m currently struggling with some Christmas socks (yep, already). But as I was…

SUPER CHUNKY CLEMENTINE – FREE PATTERN
Here’s a big woolly version of my kids favourite snack. Materials: 7 mm hook. Best US equivalent would be K/10.5, though this will probably make for a slightly smaller finished piece. 1x 100g ball of Conway and Bliss Odin yarn in Coral (07)…
COFFEE, POIROT & SUPER CHUNKY FRUIT
The summer always goes so fast, right? Or perhaps I just slow down so much it flies by. The weather in Sussex has been so beautifully sunny and dry for so long now, I’m starting to fear that we will be paying for it…
FABRIC TEEPEE
These fabric teepees are all over Pinterest so naturally I wanted to make one too. Though where the Pinterest teepees look stylish and chic, mine looks like a colourful patchwork circus tent. But my kid doesn’t know any better and to be honest,…
BLUE FLEA MARKET CASE
I found this lovely lovely case in Lewes Flea Market and just had to have it. It’s just so cute, and I can always find a use for a handy piece of storage accessory like this. Slight problem was the paper covering the…
