Happy Halloween!

So I’m not normally a big Halloween person but fancied carving a pumpkin this year! It was actually really rather fun!
Here are the results….


And my gorgeous dog sitting with the pumpkin!
It took ages to get her to sit next to the pumpkin because she was scared of it!
Happy Halloween! xxx

Before I die

Yummy Cake!

So I spent a lovely morning baking this morning. I do love baking. And eating the result, obviously. Today’s creation… a lovely light sponge with a chocolate buttercream filling covered in milk chocolate, maltesers, white maltesers and smarties! Yum!

Happy days :) x

Andy the Alien

So I have this gorgeous book called Super-cute crochet. My mum bought it for me and I wasn’t all that excited about the front cover, a little to cutesy for me but inside there are some absolutely gorgeous animals.
You may remember my post about Ollie the Octopus a while back. He is also from this book. I’d definitely recommend it!
Anyway, here he is…

The colours haven’t reproduced all that well, the green is actually really bright, almost fluorescent! Hope you like him :)

Happy days

Its been gloriously sunny for this time of year which has meant a few unexpected trips to the ice-cream van in October!

I also have various crochet projects on the go at the moment.  Will be posting photos when complete! I can’t wait to see the gorgeous alien finished! He just needs 3 eyes and 6 legs!



And as usual I’m getting in to the christmas spirit too early for my family’s liking! But christmas crochet makes me all excited!!

Much love xxxxxxxxx

Totally in the Christmas spirit already.

Ollie the Octopus

I crocheted Alex an octopus for his birthday. I think it went down pretty well, he seemed very pleased! And he named him Ollie :)
Here are the pictures of the final product!

3 positive things about today

1) I went to look around St Cross Hospital’s gardens, it’s super beautiful there! Yay for proper trips out :) Being wheeled around on bumpy gravel made me feel a bit sick though!
2) I won the lottery! Well, only £10, but still!
3) Kings of Leon – Wicker Chair on repeat <3

Orang-utan adoption

So I just adopted an orang-utan from the WWF and this is the adoption pack that arrived :) The teddy is really rather cute and Molly has her eye on it! It was quite interesting reading all about the orang-utans  and the WWF.

 

Crochet teddy

I finally finished crocheting a teddy for Libby’s birthday. Hopefully she’ll like it! I think it’s pretty cute! :)
