Long time no post....

You know how it is, you keep meaning to update your blog but never seem to get around to it...
Anyway I've been busy crafting away and here are a few of the items I've made.  First some very brightly coloured Easter Bunnies - I got the pattern off the net (sorry can't find the link!) then had to resize the pattern to fit the squares of felt I had.  Both my lovely girls adored them.
I also absolutely loved the pattern in Crochet Today for the little kitty cats.  As the majority of my stash is DK though I used it instead of worsted and a smaller hook.  Can't wait for the next edition of Crochet Today and the Dutch outfit for the cats!
One of my friends was kind enough to give me a ball of Lilly Sugar n Cream and as there was enough to make two wash cloths I made one for her but haven't got around to making one for me yet!
I bought a pot of tete a tete from Tesco but didn't have a suitable pot to put them in so whipped up this little cover using UK double treble stitches so it would work up fast.
The above brooch I made for my Mum who recently turned the grand young age of 70!  I started off doing the Irish rose pattern from 100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet but got stuck after the 2nd round so just did my own thing....
And finally a couple of thistles for my friend too.  The pattern was also from 100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet but this time I managed to follow the pattern!

Currently I'm hooking up two things from Lucy of Attic24, a bag and a ripple blanket.  I might get them finished if I didn't keep slotting in other projects in between :-)
