Sewing box find

I have been looking for a sewing box in a vintage style for some time now but up to now they have either been too expensive for what they were or in very poor condition.  Today we visited a small antiques center and I was lucky enough to find this this gem and at only £7.50.  Not convinced it is as old as label suggested but it is in good condition :o) x

Granny Square update

Well haven't finished all the squares but I have decided I will start to sew in the ends and crochet together the ones that I have got.  I am glad I have because now looking at the size I can get away with less squares.  I have decided on a 8x8 square shape with a border and edge to finish it, so still a lot of work :o) x

crochet earings

Here are some earings that I made for myself but after many comment from friends I think I will get some made up and put on my Etsy site.

Granny square update

Well, I know many people go through the discussion of whether to sew in the ends of the squares as you go or at the end.  I decided to go with at the end, may regret that!

Got 51 squares now, only 93 to go

This weeks class project

This pattern is from the Simply Crochet Magazine.  My class had asked me for something traditional and because this is not round it appealed to me more.

I have done it in craft cotton not the doubled up 4ply it suggests but for the class and other peoples finances  this worked out better.  It is a little more chunky but I like the results.

I do not usually need to pin work but due the shape it became essential

Bunny crumpets

could resist ;o) x  These are from Asda and as crumpets on weight watchers seem to be my main food I had to have.  I know some will think its odd but the topping is peanut butter and banana

cupcakes

Here are some 1/12th scale cushions I am working on, aiming to do a mini cupcake sampler to match them :o) x

Easter Soon, Little Chic for the class project this week

Loved this one, I am always happy when it is amigurumi time.  This little girl is for my class to do this week, so I hope they like her.

The only issue I had was with the photography......Ahhhhh......Chocolate......   It killed me, I am trying to be so good on Weight Watches too.  I do not go with out chocolate but I know if I had started the egg I would eat the lot.  The only thing that stopped me was that before my son went to college I made a point of telling him he can have it when he comes home.  I think it was worth opening it though because she does look cute sitting on it. ;o) x

Granny square update 2

Well that week went a little to fast for my liking.  Had a lot of other projects on the go this week but I have made some squares.   At the present I have 40 but still a long way to go but nearly under that 100 mark, that is my aim for tonight.  Thankfully I am not bored yet and I am pleased with the way the wool is going, seem to be getting more squares than I expected.  I am keeping track of the wool used and will list amount when I have finished. :o) x
