Also popping up a little update on the wrap which is super tricky to photograph as it gets longer!

I’m onto the second whirlette now so I’m hoping I’m halfway through or thereabouts..? It’s a very mindful make and I no longer need to look at the pattern (although I had to frog about ten rows when I got too confident too soon so lesson learnt there….) and perfect for cosy nights in.

I’d forgotten how much I love the subtle colour changes of a with little bumps of fuzz buzz joy along the way. However, this is usually a sign that I’ve been sitting too long and need to get back to my studies… off I go…

My first baby blanket fresh off the hook!

A bit of a ‘productive procrastination’ project this one as I kept seeing all the posts and wanted to jump on the trend asap instead of doing my upcoming college assignment 😂

I used my stash so not all the colours are from the original design but I think it’s still pretty funky and will hopefully be enjoyed by the recipient.

I couldn’t find a Churros amigurumi pattern so I made this one up! Pretty pleased with how it turned out and the recipient liked it so that’s all that matters…

Takes me back to memories of Just So Festival a few weeks ago with new friends and lots of giggles.

Sometimes I raid the stock box for a little bit of joy on a rainy day and today is definitely one of those days!
I made this original Tulips From Amsterdam Mandala last spring to match some tulips I grew at our previous house and it’s actually become a permanent feature in our home because it brings too much joy to sit in a box waiting to be bought!

I did however make another one on hols the other week so there’s a new one in my Etsy shop that now needs a home and there’s currently 25% off (because I injured my finger and can’t make anything at the mo 😭 so need to clear out before I can restock with C…….. goodies (shhhh…. 🎄 🎁)

Well I couldn’t resist getting in on the craze, could I???

Thanks to my lovely neighbours for the overnight loan of their precious dolls, I had fun creating these last night!

I know which one I would rather go on a girls night out with, do you..? 😂

It’s not perfect but it made me grin like a Cheshire Cat when I came downstairs this morning so I thought someone else might like a pop of colour on their feed too! ☔️ ☔️ ☔️

I started this on a winters day back in feb and it’s languished in the WIP basket since then so I totally forgot that I’d altered the size of the base to accommodate my sons beanbag 🙄 Hence the puckering on top but y’know - character and all that….

Have a cosy day ☕️ 🫖 🍪

Yarn: recycled cotton t shirt yarn, cotton essentials dk

Hook: 15mm and 4.5mm both
