April's makes 🥰

What a quick month. A few Easter egg covers and two crochet patterns are almost finished ☺️

I also managed to finish a summer top design I have been playing around with (watch this space for more👀) and my 2021 advent yarn is almost finished. I often get so caught up in making orders or working on new patterns that I forget to take the time to actually make something for myself.

Let's see what May brings

Happy Easter!!!

Hope the Easter bunny has been 🐰

My two have been up since 7am and already devoured an egg each 😆

For anyone looking for a last-minute Easter gift, I have a few egg covers left. I will be at my storage unit later today so DM me if anyone is looking for a stylish keepsake 👌

These are great for 1st Easter gifts when they are too small for all the chocolate.

Horrible weather here today 😫 so I'm spending it with the kids watching movies and drinking hot chocolate 👌

Is everyone ready for Easter?

Controversial post

Next have jumped on the hexi trend and have this for £74. My issue is that when crafters, especially crocheters and knitters, ask for an amount for an item reflective of skill and materials most people baulk at the idea. Yet people are rushing to buy these knowing that they are 100% handmade because crochet unlike knit, cannot be machine made and so are encouraging the use of sweat shop makers and slave labour to make the popular items everyone seems to want at the moment. Do you think they're being paid £70? Definitely not. Want a hexi cardi? Ask your local crocheter first before adding profit to huge corporations like Next.
(PS, my son's skull hexi cost around £30 in materials and took around 35 hours to make. That's around 73p an hour 🤯🤔. Good job I love him 🤣)

March was another busy month with two new designs 😍

The list of patterns I have to edit is getting longer and longer 🙃 but they haven't been forgotten and will be uploaded. Other priorities have taken precedence recently, but I am getting there, so watch this space for a chance to grab a free pattern.
