a BIG thank you!

I'd like to shout out a big thank you to the lovely Through the Loops and Knit and Tonic blogs for featurning my little hexagon pincushion pattern... and of course to all you lovely people who purchased it!

Featured here are two beautiful examples from Through the Loops. I've had more sales in the past week than in the past six months and a much needed boost to my piggy bank. Thank you all so much!

Cast your votes please!

Unashamedly, yet again, I am asking for you to vote for me in the Spoonflower Boba G2 Baby Carrier fabric design contest. I stand to win $500!


You can vote for me here. Hit the link that reads 'Vote For Your Favourite Nature-Themed Fabrics' at the bottom of the post and you will find me on page 6 of the selected 260 designs. To vote for me click on my design called 'Footprints'. You will see a green box appear around it to let you know it's been selected. You can select as many designs as you like, but to submit the votes you have to click through to the final page and hit save. Thank you!

Edit: Oh dear, seems I'm not stationery on page 6. If you can be bothered to scan through for me all the more thanks to you :)

I'm a winner!

Yay! I'm so chuffed! My little pin-cushion won Best Design in the Ravelry Free Pattern Testers Mini-Awards!! My first crochet award! I am very flattered and thank you to all of you who voted :)

Crochet Workshops

A big thanks to the lovely Bee over at Chain Creative for this lovely little interview she did with me. She seems to think I'm some sort of crochet expert (err...), but still very nice of her:) Anyway, she is running some creative crochet workshops in the London and South East England areas, so if you are in that part of the world you can find more details here on her Make Do & Mend site. As well as discussing the designs (?) of myself, she will also be taking a look at the work of the very talented and wonderful Emma Lamb and Sarah London (that's more like it).

I've been nominated!

Holy smokes! I've been nominated for a little award by the Free Pattern Testers group on Ravelry in their 2010 Mini Awards: Best Design category. It's for my one and only pattern, my little hexagon pincushion.


So in a shameless act of self-promotion and in the hopes of getting myself a little award you can vote here :)

Last Minute Valentines!

For those of you who have a romantic weekend coming up but have forgotton the card, don't worry! I have two printable cards available in the shop!
A romantic butterfly heart, and for those of you who like a bit of schoolgirl nostalgia a retro Love Hearts card!!



Hope to see you there!

I'm over here!!

Just a quick hello from here to say I'm now spending most of my time over here! I may pop in from time to time :)
