I've been busy...

Very busy.  With volunteering at my daughter's school four days a week and learning to drive and being a single mum, my week is always pretty full. I have to find the time for all my crochet projects where I can. On top of making daleks for people and pokemon, I'm also trying lots of new patterns.  The art teacher at Amber's school is more than happy to try out anything I make and give me feedback. I'm also making some smaller bits and pieces to donate to the Mother's Day stall next year. I love all the stuff I get to do and be a part of.

Adaptation

The other night, I made a bookmark. It's quite a simple pattern, but it looks pretty awesome.

So yesterday morning, when I felt like making a phone cozy, I spent ages looking through Ravelry and all the blogs I frequent trying to find the perfect pattern. Alas, while they are all awesome, none of them gave me that ping of inspiration. So I decided to adapt the bookmark pattern...
So, part way through it looked like this:

and by the end, it looked like this...

Not my best piece of work, but, it did work, lol. The important thing is that it fits my phone, and it was a learning experience... I suck at hand sewing and zips, lol.
So the next one I make will be better.
Onto dalek #2 for my friend at the library...

MEW!!!

Here is my Mew. Minus his eyes. I think he's gorgeous.  My brother is going to love him.  Just over 9.5 hours went into this little guy.  Loved every second of it. 

Crochet Club Part 2

Well, 2 min in to our club yesterday a wet day timetable was called. So we had to pack it up. My poor girls were shattered.  On a bright note, I have 4 girls in my Tuesday group now. I'll have to make it up to them next week with an extra day.
On another note,  Mew is nearly done! Just have to make his tail now and sew him together. I can't wait to see him in one piece!!!
Off to get my little munchkin ready for school now so bye!

flax & twine: Making Pompoms in Bulk

I love pom poms. Love them to bits! But I HATE making them. But this here is absolute GENIUS! And if you find the kids are getting in the way or getting frustrated while you are having fun with it, why not use a roll of bubble wrap, roll it out on the floor of the hallway tape it down and let them go nuts.
