I have to admit that I have been very lucky as a few weeks ago I was asked if I would make some of my things for Wyreena, a local gallery's Christmas gift exhibition and then a call went out for crafters to make things for Little Red’s Craft Cupboard and I got accepted too. So the last few weeks I have been busily making things, trying to get enough products made.
In the past when I have made things for a big order my brain seems to run away with all these fantastic ideas of things that I could possibly make and I get a bit overwhelmed, and then don’t know what to do, sit on it for a bit and then do that last minute panic that I won’t get enough made in time. So this time I decided to just settle on a few well trusted items. In the past my children’s toys have seem to have sold well, so I thought a few of these and maybe some new smaller in size Christmas ornaments.
And here are the final products...
A little group of owls (did you know that a group of Owls is called a Parliament? Neither did I until a few seconds ago J), a little Miss and Master Frog, some crochet hanging birds, crochet stars and my favourite little Santa hat brooches.
I also managed to squeeze in another little frog for a Little Miss L. I thought that maybe a little dress might have been in order and of course a little flower to pretty it up.
Besides all the crochet one of the other things that I have been busy with over the last few weeks is my garden. I must admit it got quite a bit neglected over Autumn and Winter so when spring started it was a bit feral and needed quite a lot of work, but I have managed to get it back to how it used to be and this year I have been rewarded with the most beautiful display of my roses yet. Last week we had some beautiful warm (almost summer evenings) and I would sit on my front porch step just drinking in the beautiful scent in the air. It was such a fond reminder of how it used to be at my grandmother’s house.
Just looking at the pictures it seems I have a bit of a thing for orange/peach coloured roses. I don’t know why as I don’t think I own a single thing in these colours J
