crochet marathon

 The government in the wisdom want to to teach children business so each child in my son's school was given ten pounds my son had a idea to make mine craft weapons . Two weeks later  he had made no money . And then to make matters worse he  lost the ten pound start up money as its a proper loan  he has to pay it back things were looking desperate so on Friday I offered to help the above picture shows my efforts   over the weekend   to   give him some start up stock. I made granny hearts , phone cases ,badges ,bookmarks ,bracelets and bunny heads.

These hearts came from another blog  and hopefully will appeal  to those looking for mothers day gifts

The phone cases are desperate attempt to appeal to both boys and girls. Lol

The badges are rather cute I prefer the ducks to rabbit I think . They are ideal as only take ten mins to make . The bunny heads and really cute too .since the project runs till Easter  No harm  appealing to Easter trade lol. All in all a productive weekend  don't think I ever crocheted so hard in my life . I better have earned a good mother's day present now. Fingers crossed we start earning and it will be worthwhile 

spring has sprung

 The nice thing with a craft like crochet is no matter what time of year there is a project for every occasion  . after all the storms we had to suffer this spring  in particular offer a new hope for better and hopefully warmer times. I like Easter for a number of reason and none surprisingly involve chocolate ( well much any way ) . The main reason I like it is we always go on holiday for Easter break as it usually falls on or near my middle child's birthday . Another reason I like it as my youngest child first present was a chicken and a rabbit  he has just turned ten and still has them to this day . He has a vast collection of chickens and rabbits he has added to over the years . The two pictured here will be added to his collection . I have no doubt they will be well loved.
