Grey Crochet Baby Blanket

A quick post at the end of the year, just to show this baby blanket I made at the beginning of the year.  This was before Covid, and before returning to work after my maternity leave, juggling work and child-care.  My creativity has been hold a fair bit!

This was made for a very special little boy, the son of a friend.

Felt Pastel Christmas Pudding Decoration

 I started a tradition in 2018 of making a felt Christmas tree decoration each year.  This year's got finished on Christmas Eve Eve!

I really couldn't get inspired at all this year, but kept coming back to the idea of a Christmas pudding.  However, I didn't fancy the dark brown of the pudding, so decided to make a pastel version.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

As per tradition, I embroidered the year on the back - probably my least favourite part!

I hope you managed to enjoy the Christmas festivities, if you celebrate!

Crochet Carrot

My daughter received a play kitchen for her first birthday (back in May) which she loves playing with.  I decided to crochet her a selection of fruit and vegetables to go with it...

Well, I've only completed a carrot so far, I'm afraid to say!  She does have a tub of plastic food to be getting on with, but I do hope to make more crocheted items at some point.  I've been finding it very hard to be creative in recent months, so output has slowed a lot!

The pattern was from this e-book and I was inspired by Gillian of Tales from a Happy House who made crochet food years ago, before Emily was even a twinkle in my eye, and I kept it in mind ever since!

I made a few tweaks to the pattern as I went along, but I have no idea what they were now as I made this months ago!  It's taken a while to make it's way onto the blog!

I've got a strawberry on the go, so maybe I'll finish it one day!
