Aw, look at the ducks!!




My pet crocheter has been a busy bee...  These are for my brother and sister-in-law who have just had a baby.  See, there's a Daddy one, a Mummy one and a baby one!  :)

    They are so cute and you've captured a great expression on them. They make similar ones for our local hospice with a Cadburys Creme Egg inside.

      Apparently they are. Still not entirely sure what amigurami is though! :)

    Hi Laura,

    Oh, these are so cute! I'm sure they'll bring a smile to the new family. I need to stretch myself as far as my knitting goes. Right now I'm working on a baby blanket and even though I'm a little more than a third of the way finished I'm so ready to start on something else!

    This is the first time I'm joining in for Friday Smiles. What better way to end the work week!!

    Hugs,
    Kay

    I love the expression on the big ones face. They are adorable. Can you possible point me towards the pattern please? They would be ideal for my spring Gallarte expo. I am still trying to find out what actually appeals to the Spanish families who come in - without much success so far!! Kate x

      this link should take you to the pattern. There are a few free patterns, hopefully you'll find a few things to try for the expo. :)

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
