My first sale!

Jay, a colleague at work requested an ami elephant after she saw a picture of the piggy I made as they are her favourite animal. So I reworked my piggy pattern to include a trunk (with a pipe cleaner inside so it can be posed), taller legs, big round ears and a plaited tail. I think it came out very well and I wanted to keep it again but I just of how it was a commission and I would be getting paid to part with it. I asked for £4 because that's how much people seem to charge on Etsy but Jay said that wasn't enough and I deserved more for it and came back with £10! =D

Bird!

I'm going to make my own crochet box!

I'm making a hell of a mess with all my things spilling out of 2 buckling cardboard boxes, yarn all over every room in the house, losing hooks and buttons left, right and centre. I need a big sewing box.

The inspiration: 

  

       

But sewing boxes are far too small and far too expensive. Though some are admittedly very pretty and cute. I need to make my own. 

I had to make another one for her
