I’ve been gathering jewellery for most of my life, more specifically earrings. BUT I hardly ever wear any! Why? I hear you ask… simple, I have them stored in boxes in a jewellery box, and you know what they say… out of sight out of mind.

Okay, so I know that I am probably not reinventing the wheel here, but I was getting fed up of my adorable kitty using my teeny balls of scrap yarn as his own collection of toys.

As you may have seen a few days ago I was prattling on about how awesome I thought Amineko (crocheted cats) are. I bought the book got out my awesome KnitPro crochet hook and off I went! A few hours later, some poly pellets and polyfill and my first Amineko was born. He was really… Continue reading Amineko #1 TA-DAH!!!
My 7 year old niece is obsessed with pink. I remember hearing a story about her when she was 2 or 3. Her parents (not sure if mum or dad was responsible) had dressed her, and left her playing in her room whilst they went to get something. 10 minutes later she emerged from her… Continue reading Hats & Scarves Part Two – Pink Princess
