A little project I made a few weeks ago for cake maker, Melanie.

She wanted a tiny macrame piece for a special anniversary cake.

Something I hadn't had a request for before but I think it's a great idea!

Melanie kindly sent me a photo of the finished cake.

It looks amazing! 🎂

This one is a throw back to the 1980's.

Fluoro pink and yellow, broken up with crisp white, make the pattern in this one pop!

The perfect size for a young girl or lap size for someone young at heart at 130 x 125cm.

Made using 100% acrylic 8ply yarn for easy care.

Price is $80 plus postage.

Send me a PM if you would like more info

A macrame wallhanging that my poor customer has been waiting on for quite a while!

These feathers are a pain in the b*m to make. Probably why I was procrastinating making this lol.

I hope you like it Leasa Bailey 😁

I'm trying to think when I actually started this blanket...I'm thinking last August???🤔

Anyway, it is finally finished so I can move on to the next project, yay!

Luckily I am keeping this one as it used loads of yarn and I put in way too many hours to be able to sell it and recoup what I put into it.

This might be the largest blanket I have crocheted so far. A simple pattern but LOTS of stitches to make a dense pattern.

I think it has a home on our spare bed 😁.

Hopefully I can post some new projects again soon!

Have a wonderful day, Jo 🧶

I have been working on a few projects lately.

Here is a selection of some small items made over the last couple of weeks.

Knitted baby booties, crochet face washers and a macrame hanger for this lovely recycled lamp shade!

It has been very quiet on the creating front here of late, unfortunately. Life has been busy!

I finally managed to do a bit of creating while away on my sewing retreat, which was lovely.

One of the items I made was this cute little bag.

With a gorgeous little caravaning stitchery, and custom quilting and ricrac embellishments. It is a generous size for a small travel bag.

Think panadol, bandaids, tablets, even phone cords etc.

Measurements are 30cm x 22cm.

Would make a lovely gift for someone who loves the outdoors or travel!

Price on this one is $30.

Hopefully I won't take so long to post next time 😁
