A New Link

My friend Sarah runs Ethics Trading, she's a single WAHM (work at home mum) with 2 children. She's truely passionate about all things Ethically and Fair traded as well as organics and naturals! Her speciality is soap nuts but she also has lots more to offer! Go check her out, link is in Links We Like and is there to stay!

New Look

Was fed up with the dark dots so have brightened up and added new bits! Do be nosey and check out the new links bit (yes I FINALLY worked out how to add that in!) Having a slow crafting week but mainly due to my little madam who is 8 months old and teething like a trooper!

Anyhoo, I have been making oodles of stitch markers, some are now in my store, more are ready to go on (see Busy Beez Store or The Busy Beez Corner Ebay Store link) Other than that I am going to a wedding on October 12th 2007 and I am determined I will have Forest Canopy shawl #3 finished by then so I can wear it!

I have extended my stashalong until the 20th December at least, I fell of the wagon big time and I think possibly have more yarn now than when I started despite really trying!!!

Onwards and upwards!

Snuggy Squares

Crochet baby comfort blankets! I passed one of these onto a friend with a young baby, he loves it so offered to make a couple of spares, only I ended up making a couple for big sisters baby dolls too as she likes to copy mummy! Used some fleecey feel acrylic yarn from my stash and crochetted them in a simple granny square style, nice quick and easy between big projects for an instant quick finish fix!

Right.....

Crikey I am terrible at keeping up this blogging lark! *must try harder* Heard that LOTS before! Especially school reports!

Well, no finished projects since the sari silk stole, which my friend LOVED and wears as much as possible.

I am stash busting some wooly oddments into comfort blankets for a friends new baby, one done 3 to go!

Well as you can see by the lack of postings etc I have been somewhat absent, I have been rather busy lately, but not crafting as much I would like!

A Completed Item!!!!!

81 inches long, knitted in recycled sari silk yarn from Angel Yarns on 20mm needles, love the finished effect of the yarn and am going to make another eventually for myself, this one is for a friend.

Still here, Plodding along!

Crikey me, I've neglected the ole blog a bit, sorry folks! That thing called life crept up n bit me on the backside for a while so crafts went on hold, but am back and have been crafting again. Here's some progress on stuff.

My forest canopy shawl, this is about half way complete now, currently up to 123 sts on the pins and half way through the 6th pattern repeat. Still really enjoying this one!

Sari Silk stole, about half way there now! This is a very easy knit, all garter stitch, just a bit clumsy and time consuming I find because of the needle size (20mm!)

Stripey crochet blanket for a friend who's just had a baby boy!
