Gorgeous scarves!
I’ve been busy this past couple of weeks finally getting round to photographing and listing a load of new scarves and neckwarmers I’ve been creating. For someone who dislikes intently having her photograph taken its been a painful period! There have been more pictures taken of me over the last two weekends than in the past 10 years. Hopefully people viewing my folksy shop and etsy shop will be able to see beyond the grinning/miserable looking idiot to see the glorious scarves – heres hoping…
We have ’scarf with pockets’, gorgeously chunky, warm and perfect for those with cold hands like me (just need to create one that goes down to my feet and I’m sorted)
The Wrap Scarf, depending on how you wear it
there are many more examples, I won’t bore you!
and some new cable fingerless gloves too, perfect for driving and shopping as you don’t have to take them off!
More bits in my shops, please look and let me know what you think!

Crocheted storage basket
I recieved an exciting email a few weeks ago from my crafting buddy Ali of very berry handmade. Now, her and her other half have re invented themselves, you may have known them as Craft matters and Seasonal matters, but they have joined forces to create a wonderful new blog filled with patterns and recipes and they are currently having a housewarming with some fantastic giveaways so if you fancy one of Ali’s bags I’d pop over and leave a comment, you have a couple of days left!
Anyway, Ali wanted me to test a new pattern for her, the crocheted storage basket you can see on her blog, wah-hey I thought, I love that!
A few days ago I recieved a parcel in the post containing the pattern, a couple of balls of gorgeous chunky wool in my fave colour, and one of her gorgeous felt pincushions as a thankyou, so it was win win for me!
I’ve done a couple of patterns before of Ali’s, her big eared bunny and the frothy flower, both on her blog, and they were great so I wasn’t worried.
Again, I needn’t have worried, isn’t it fabulous, large, beautiful, useful and only took one night! And already in action with some of my many WIP’S.

2010 craft neutral challange
Yes, I’m still doing it! Need to do some more photographs, but I am working through my fast depleting stash!
Being very organised too actually and finishing off some UFO’s. Think it must have something to do with the boys going back and that means there really is no excuse now for stuff to be ALL OVER the house and I must make an effort to make the odd path from room to room…
So, remember I started on those cream/white cushions using up my huge pile of neutral wools?
Tada-ar!
Finished off with a selection of vintage buttons and they will be in my etsy shop as soon as I get a bit more organised.
I love those buttons!
More stash busting to follow!
And the Winner is…
