If your wondering I got the skull balcony hat for my neice

Have a good weekend

oh bum !!!!!!!

This was going to be a lovely positive post  but instead of telling you how happy I am with new projects I actually feel like this

 What happened to cause this I hear you ask 

Well would you believe it was a some African flower motif . Yes  after posting my last bird 

I am now stuck with the very same pattern. Ok that's not exactly true I can make the  motif but can't construct it . I am making the elephant that I have Bern promising my son for ages . I love the colours yellow orange and grey  and excited to share with you


So I set about making the motif and constructing the bum when disaster struck I could not join it in the way I was meant too. Heidi patterns  are very clear yet two and half hours later the bum was not sewed on . Eventually I think I got it . Here is the result

As far as i can tell this is right it had better be my sanity can't take it any more lol

I am.however  pleased with how these look I have gone done another hook.size and it made a far my pleasing size and density assuming I can actually construct this beast it should look.good ...... well fingers crossed lol

opps i did it again

Ok I didn't  go back to the snood  I couldn't face it and fancied a treat so I made this vintage vase coaster. I love it despite it taking a endless amount of time,the pattern being wrong and I have no need of it but what out weighs all of these things is how pretty it is. This picture was taken while I was blocking it I never blocked any project before but it really  was worth effort and bought all the stitches to life. . At this point I should promise to return to my project but I can't as my son sold a lot of the stock I made for his business project so back to making phone cases for me .one day I will finish it I promise.
