A Crochet Tulle Tutu

I made this crochet and tulle tutu

for my niece Isabella for Christmas

It can be adjusted by the buttons on the back for size

which also match the colour scheme I chose.

Instructions can be found at Stitch 11

Kangaroo with Joey

A co-worker from New Zealand

is heading home for the holidays

and there's a baby due while she is there

to give to the little baby kiwi

And bonus pic of my photography assistant

Two Little Owls

I made these two owls

for twins Phoenix and Ivy

A boy owl

I've sent these off

Body Parts

These don't look like much

In fact they look weird

Especially the "log" (read: poop)

But they are body parts

For a crochet animal

This particular toy animal 

is headed off to 

New Zealand in a couple of weeks

Baby Hexagon Cardigan

This is a super easy baby cardigan

that can easily be adjusted to size

by making each granny hexagon bigger.

I included ribbed cuffs and band around the bottom

and cute little white buttons

Cliff the Brontosaurus

This is Cliff the Brontosaurus

Made for nephews 2nd birthday.

Original pattern didn't include spikes

But I felt he needed a little something extra

Although,  he is cute either way

In the Works

WIP Ripple Blanket

I have finally decided to 

crochet myself a blanket.

I have tried many times before but

always lost interest and have 

never finished one.

This time, I am really excited about it.

It's coming together pretty fast

and my sister is constantly encouraging

me to keep going with it.

So far it's ten rows of red

and in the picture above

eight rows of orange.

I'm doing 10 rows of each colour of the rainbow

as I like the look of chunkier 

blocks of colour.

And this blanket is really wide, like wider than I had planned it to be.

It fits over a queen size bed and hangs down the sides.

I will measure it eventually, but it's wider than I am long. 

Harry Potter Gryffindor Scarf Finished

I finished this scarf a little while ago

and have sent it to my friend.

Still waiting for her to receive it.

Sometimes the post is fast, and sometimes it's slow

Chunky Newborn Beanies

On the 18th Of April

at 11.30pm 

My niece Scarlett Jo was born.

As she was only a tiny 5 pound 10 ounces or 2.5kg

it was hard to find beanies that fit her

and that were also warm.

So I made her some to keep her little head nice and warm

I'm back!

Been crazy busy since I returned from my 

Melbourne to Perth to Kuala Lumpur to Perth to Melbourne trip.

That's 4 flights in as many weeks.

I've learnt the Basket Weave stitch for this project.

It's something I have been wanting to learn for quite some time

but I never had a project that I could use it for.

"Simply Crochet" Inspired Pillow

This is my finished pillow inspired by the pillows in Simply Crochet Issue 1.

than it was originally though.

Rosette Hair Clip

How to Make a Rosette Hair Clip

You will need:

* hot glue gun

*scissors

*felt - I only had white

*crochet 2 rosette's

*crochet 3 leaves

*alligator hair clip or pin (not pictured)

The pattern I used for the leaves is from EASY Makes Me Happy's tutorial

and the rosette pattern is from Moogly.

I used a 4mm/G/6 hook for rosettes and leaves.

Cut out a circle from your felt and glue the leaves and rosettes on.
Make sure the felt circle is small enough so you can't see it.

Glue on an alligator clip, allow to dry and your done!
