made for a friend :)

today I made this for a male friends birthday.  I had seen something similar and had been itching to have a go, and what better excuse than to make him this, which has places with strong meanings to him. 

I often like to make something special for friends and family - mostly because I am hopeless at shopping and walk the streets with a budget in my head, often to come home either empty-handed or worse still with something that you are not sure they will like :(

Now I just have to wait for the black frame with a black mount to arrive and then can send it on its way - as always arriving a good week after his birthday.

Obviously I have also popped one in my etsy shop today!

Another soft and gentle ripple cushion

Here is another soft and gentle ripple cushion made with merino yarn in purple, pink, cerise and white with four sweet flower buttons and listed in my shop today :)

Such a Bright Colour Pop Cushion

This lovely bright ripple wave cushion got added to my shop today.  Made out of a 100% cotton yarn it is sure to add a pop of colour to any home :)

A jaunty and fresh Union Jack stool

This jaunty and fresh union jack stool has a hand crocheted pattern which I purchased ages ago from the excellent Michelle Kludas of The Royal Sisters :)

The stool has now been added to my etsy shop here

Two more prints added to my etsy shop today:)

I have been a busy little bee today and have just added these two prints to my etsy shop today - have yo-yoed between dark and stark black and white onto lovely soft pastel colours.  Although both have hearts :)

 

I love how an idea nags and niggles at you, and the rush and concentration in bringing thoughts together - followed by the slightly flat moment you get whilst waiting for the next idea to pop into your unsuspecting head .

my sweet little granny squares stool

Inspired by the lovely Ingrid Jansen over at www.woodandwoolstool.com is our own interpretation.
This lovely little stool has a bright and breezy cool summer look and is in our etsy shop today :)

is it that time all ready :)

being a lover of the scrumtious Mollie Makes magazine, it sure seems to come around to a new issue very quickly.  Issue 12 is now in my etsy shop.
