....Hooking here....and hooking there....
....and finally a piece of crochet that has been hanging around this nook of mine for what seems like years has been finished.......HOORAAAAAAAY....
....i have to say i am most pleased with my little cushion....
....i decided that i would make the cover a removable one, what with this being a home of two old cats and a ( spill everything, slop everything husband ) it seemed like the best thing to do......considering how long its taken to finish it.....
....the back i crocheted in half treble all the way....
.....then.....i finished some half started mini bunting....just like the one i made at Christmas but this time i added a little contrasting button on each and a little bell for some extra Springy time jingle....
....i need to do a bit of blocking with these as there all a bit twisted....
.....i do love a bit of bunting....and i do love especially mini bunting.....if you want to have a go making some like mine....i started with a chain of thirteen, half trebled back though that chain, then decreased a stitch at each end every other row, all done in half trebles......simples...x
.....And to end with, have you seen the latest copy of 'Simply crochet'?.....oh there is so much goodness in this issue....
....especially that fantastic cowl tutorial by 'Bunny mummy'......a very simple idea....but oh so wonderful......i am going to make hundreds of these for Christmas this year........yes hundreds....
....Also i have been dazzled by this amazing trimming.....i love the little bells that have been added.....
....and off course this adorable Amigurumi bunny brooch....cute, cute, cute....xx
....beautiful spring flowers....
....and a lovely double spread from Lucy, at Attic 24....
....this issue is packed with colour....
....time to put that kettle back on and find my crochet hook again....
.....I would love to know if any off you have finished or are finishing some long overdue crochet projects....huggy hugs dear friends....
....Pixie....

Love your cushion. I bought the magazine too - so nice to see familiar bloggers in there:)
ReplyDeleteHello lovely, missed chatting to you! Gorg crochet as usual! I did buy Simply Crochet this month, I don't usually but I loved Rachelle's scarf so felt the need to part with my pennies. Hugs x
ReplyDeleteWell done on your hooky madness - there's something extra special about finishing something that's been hanging around for a while (my excuse for a whole pile of U.F.O's!) Love the cushion x Jane

Both cushion and bunting are lovely!! I like the addition of the buttons and the little bells to your bunting, so very cute and very spring like! Hope that you enjoy making all those 100's of cowls!! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bunting. I have finished covering 10 wooden hangers with crochet - thats about the limit of my skills. Isn't this weather lovely? We had a picnic on the beach yesterday and a paddle. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to visit your blog Miss Pixie! Very inspiring, and your work is always so lovely. Love the bunting bells!
