Cute Halloween...

I definitely prefer cuteness rather than a scary Halloween.

This is a custom-made cushion for my friend Amy who loves the Halloween celebrations.

We designed and made this cushion together under the watchful eyes of Baby and Cat.


Our fun craft day inspired me to make these Pumpkin Pals for sale in my Etsy shop.


I also added some cute Bat Buttons to my Folksy shop too.


Happy Halloween! x

Lovely sunny October days...

The sky has been bright blue with not a cloud in sight.

Everyone feels happy at the unexpected fine weather. Over 20 degrees!

There are some gorgeous flowers still in bloom in the garden.

Here are just a couple which are so sweet they had to be photographed.

Love the soft pale colours x

Cars and Crafts, Crafts and Cars...

My two sisters, my youngest nephew and I held our 'Make & Bake Day' a little while ago.

The scones were in the oven and the cute amigurumi teddy bear was taking shape.

I made a bright blue Tickle Monster for my nephew, aged 4.

He also wanted to make something for Mr Mac...

Can you guess what we made?



Yeah! A red felt Ferrari!

We had seen the Knitted Ferrari by Lauren Porter at a car show in London. See http://www.lauren-porter.co.uk/ for more details.



Inspired by the real thing!

Mr Mac loves cars, I love crafts.
He takes me to car shows, I take him to craft fairs.
I wonder who has the better deal?
