Hats!

As I mentioned over on my other blog, I've been making a new style of hat, that seems to be going down well. So well in fact, that I've been commisioned to make two more!

One I've already done, and it's gone off to it's new owner (who loved it, and wore it round the office all day!) and the other is half done, but is awaiting the arrival of some new wool!

Here is the hat that started it all:



I really must apologise for the picture. It is a)dark, and b) of me, in my pyjamas, wearing the hat! I hope it still shows how cool it is. Basically, it's a beanie type thing, with a pom-pom either side. I think it kinda looks like ears!

Here is the first one I made on commission, for a work colleague:



The other one I've been asked to make is for another colleague's little boy. It's in the same grey wool as mine, only with blue pom-poms instead of pink! I'm hoping this will lead to more commission type stuff, although it's definately got me thinking that people do want my stuff, it's just a case of getting myself known out there!

First Post!

So, I've started a new craft blog. The last one failed miserably, but I thought I'd try again, since I've started really crafting again.

So, here are my most recent creations:

First up - button flowers:



These are wool, made on a flower loom - with a button sewn in the middle! Simple, but pretty, I think. They have brooch backs sewn onto them too, so they can be worn on clothes or handbags or whatever!



This is a super skinny, super long scarf, with pom-poms at the end. Just because I thought it would look cute!



This cute little guy is what happens when I'm bored and find some felt. It's an apple (clearly!). Another brooch!

And finally:




A finger knitted scarf with some button flowers woven in. Very pretty I think (although I may be biased!).

And as this is my first post - and I'm all excited - I'm going to have a little giveaway! Anyone who posts a comment will go into a draw to win a button flower brooch - this one to be exact:



Leave an email address with your comment and I'll pull one name out of a hat on Sunday March 15th. I'll then email the winner for their address!
