Show & Tell - Hippity Hop
Morning All!
A while ago I started seeing a few little crochet bunnies showing up in places. They looked cute and easy and I was on the lookout for a little gift for a little girl who incidentally loves bunnies!
The bunny pattern is super easy and fun to make. And it has a cute little fluffy pompom tail!
I will definitely be making a few more of these : )
This month's winner will be receiving a prize pack from the wonderful people at Skeinz! It will consist of 2 balls of each of the six solid colours of their Moody Hues yarn range and is worth $90!!! This is a delicious Merino, Alpaca & Possum blend that is soft and warm and comes in random colours and soon 8 solid colours. It is Awesome! All you have to do is link up at least once during the month to be in the draw : ).
So what have you been working on lately? Looking forward to see the goodies you'll be sharing with us!

Show & Tell - I am sailing...
Hi all you lovely people!
A few months ago a lovely lady had a precious little boy... I took forever to finally get stuck in and create a wee pressie for him, but got there in the end!
I first saw this on Pinterest and followed the crochet tutorial over here. Well written, clear and concise. And she even made the distinction and explained the US and UK terms! Very helpful!
I've never used spray starch before and was a little nervous about it - but it worked well. The only thing I did differently was use one piece of string rather than yarn to join all the pieces together - I'm hoping it will be stronger/last longer/stretch less over time... It was a very enjoyable project to work on and I was really happy with the result :)
And now.... I have some very exciting news! Scrap the giveaway mentioned last week... We have a brand new awesome company sponsoring this months' giveaway! If you haven't heard about Skeinz yet, you should head over right this minute and go check them out! Then come back here and link up : ) Because this month they are giving the winner a prize-pack consisting of 10 balls of their Moody Hues yarn range. This is a delicious Merino, Alpaca & Possum blend that is soft and warm and comes in random colours and soon 8 solid colours too. Sounds great doesn't it?!?!
Looking forward to seeing your inspiring creations!

Show & Tell - Patchwork Baskets
Happy Thursday :)
A few months ago I read about this great tutorial for fabric buckets on Deb's blog. Something I definitely wanted to do and make, and so I did! A couple of gifts for a couple of amazing ladies.
The longest part was laying out all the bits to make sure they roughly fit and then sewing all those bitty pieces together. Some as small as 1.5"!
Both were made entirely from fabric and scraps in my stash. I only had super stiff interfacing, so attached vertical strips at intervals to fortify the sides. It seemed to work ok.
The tutorial was clear and helpful - and I will be making one or two more in time :)
With winter well on the way, the giveaway for May: A couple of balls (your choice of colours) of Loyal 8ply Wool and a 5mm Crochet Hook! To be in the draw, you just need to link up during the month. Easy peasy : )
Over to you! Link away! Cant wait to see this weeks's creations : )
