Things I have made lately...

Well it has been a while since my last post! A whole new year has begun.

As with many creative types, often we get caught up in flurries of excitement with new projects taking our attention.

I have been busy, making things as usual, and with the new year under way I have come back with stories to tell of my crafty going-ons.

These are some of the little projects I have been getting on with...

Crochet mad, Abney to join Teal and vintage patterns galore!

Well it's been a little while since my last post, but I can assure you i've been busy being creative as per usual (much to the detriment of the housework...!)

I have been desperate to crochet a jumper/cardigan for the little man of the house. Crochet is a relatively new love of mine - the same joy as with knitting but in half the time and with only one stitch on the hook to worry about!
So, having never embarked upon knitting or crocheting clothes (NEVER EVER) obviously I had to choose a nice simple starting piece...

So here's some of my projects - Let's get started with The Adventures of Abney & Teal

If you've seen the Cbeebies show The Adventures of Abney & Teal, you'll know what an absolutely delightful programme it is! With the beautiful simplistic approach, homemade look and Toby Dog's folky music to top it off, it's one of my favourite TV programmes that my son likes to watch!

There are 2 main characters: Abney (a cat like boy character) and Teal (a beautiful rag-doll). I just HAD to have a go at making them... so far I've only made Teal. Once I come across some Abney style fabric i'll have a bash at making him too!

So here she is...
