the colours on this bag are pretty true to form.... made this one smaller than the pattern as it will be used as a handbag. Reinforced the base with stiffening . Thank you Sanhita, for the pattern - jugglersboat.wordpress.com/2011/07/30/spikes-strike/

the colours here are brighter than in real life, but it gives you an idea of the pattern detail. It is a fun pattern to do ! jugglersboat.wordpress.com/2011/07/30/spikes-strike/

I decided to play with Helencrochet's pattern to make some valentines for the Grandchildren. It was fun and a good way to use up little balls of yarn!

Here is the link to the pattern Helen used:

LOVE Hampstead House! Ordered this week and here they are! I have wanted this book of/by Judi Dench for a while - I am so pleased!

The crochet book is amazing!!!! And cheap - remaindered books.

So... see you all later!

This proved to be the best craft yet.... they spend a LONG time at it, punching out the designs, putting wee beads on pins and placing them just where they wanted them! Talk about keeping them occupied..... this works! Seriously, they loved it but Lauren did say her hand was getting sore!!!
