4 Beanies, a Cloche & a Handbag.

Life sometimes gets in the way so I’ve been AWOL for a while but not idle. With Easter only days away I thought I should get motivated & post a few new items in my online shop; items I’d finished some time ago but required photos & listing…

  • The 2 flower beanies are created in a beautiful pure Australian wool
  • The 2 funky tassel beanies are created in 100% acrylic
  • The vibrant purple Cloche is created in a soft, premium acrylic
  • The freeform crochet Handbag is medium size with shoulder straps

I hope everyone gets to spend some special time with family & friends & I’d like to wish you all a happy, safe & relaxing Easter break…

Home Sweet Home.

Well, I have to say, it’s good to be home; it was the wettest trip since Noah set sailed. It rained, it poured, it drizzled from the moment we left for our little holiday to the time we arrive at our destination. Not enough to have drought, then fires & then, to top it off, flooding rains. Of course the rain was very welcomed everywhere & I, for one, am not complaining. We really do live in the most extraordinary country.

Despite the dismal weather, my step mum’s 90th birthday celebrations went off with a bang & we had a fabulous time catching up with family & friends. Not much chance for sight-seeing but had some lovely lunches & dinners with friends as we made our way home.

And so, it’s back to the grind… My shop is open again & I’m hoping to list some new items soon.

The next crochet class is this Thurs 20th Feb.

And I’ll be at our local Landsborough Market this Saturday 22nd Feb & every 2nd & 4th Saturday from then on…

As I’ve already said, it’s good to be home… Black Cat gave us ‘the look’ as we came in the door but is purring with pleasure now;  the chooks are happily clucking & laying lovely eggs… all is well

Aussie Flora Tea Cosy

Due to being rather time poor, I don’t usually take on custom orders, mainly  to avoid disappoint when expectations can’t be met.

But then, I met a lovely lady at Knitfest. She was very enthusiastic about my work & asked if I’d create an Aussie Floral Tea Cosy for her.  I decided to take on the challenge & I’m very happy with the result.

The Tea Cosy body crocheted with double thread hand spun yarn & embellished with wet felted & crocheted flowers & leaves.

This is Virginia’s Aussie Flora Tea cosy… enjoy!
