So Firstborn is now at the age where he can draw and asked me to make him an alien for his jumper.  This is the result, pattern undoubtedly up here soon.

Only just discovered this lovely little website which features my little crab pattern.  Thank you to all the lovely users that have downloaded him, I hope you love him.

Here's some of their other awesome amigurumi...

These acorns are one of the first things I ever crocheted xxx

I have a darling Rose who runs the very beautiful 'Butler's Emporium' in Hastings.  It was her birthday this week and this was the gift she inspired.

Sketching on a sewing machine, attempt no.1...

In honour of pirate day I shall be doing a special crochet Tricorn Hat, Skull and Crossbones and Anchor pirate pattern package at my Etsy shop.  All 3 patterns together will be $9.50, but only for July!

Right, sorry about this, but I need my sister to help me chose an outfit, so...

I know, I've done this before, but it's so simple I can't help but do it again.  Maybe I'll make one every summer forever. 

Again, all you need to do is make a rectangle the width of your shoulders and back, and as long as you want it to hang.  I just used a basic shell (3dc in one stitch), then sew up the outer edges to make arm holes.

I did a couple of rows of dc with a smaller hook around the arm holes and edges just to give it a nice finish, but that's it.

Love it.

Dear crochet lovers (and pirate fans), apologies for the long, long absence but it's been a whirlwind of busyness getting the Home Store up and running.  We are now finally into the swing of things and I've had a chance to get my hooks out and get making again. 

This tricorn pirates hat pattern is now available to buy form my Etsy shop and comes in 2 sizes, 1-3 years and 4-7 years, and is in honour of the annual Pirate Day festival that is held in Hastings every year.

Fingers crossed the hooks will now be out for a while. xxx
