Bunny Love

 

Wow, it's been a few years since I was here last, life really got busy and time flew but I'm back now.... I've got a lot of crochet to show you, I took crochet up a few years ago and have a Facebook and Instagram account under The Faery Stitcher...... 

These cute bunnies are in lovely purples and can be used as embellishments or bunting....

Mandala Madness

Ok, I'm addicted to making Mandalas and they are appearing everywhere in the house....I fell in love with these colours and knew they would be perfect for a Mandala at Yule.....

Honestly, I started drooling over these colours lol...then I had to look for a lovely and appropriate Mandala so, looking through Simply Crochet magazine because I am a huge fan of the lovely late Wink and she has some amazing Mandalas in that magazine and guess what I found....and here is what it looks like when I crocheted it......

Love it and especially those popcorn stitches :)

Cute Stitches

These cuties were stitched a few years back and were given as gifts.

Where To Start!

Hiya everyone,

I've been quiet with my hobbies as this past year I've been taking a night class in college and have only just finished my exams, I decided to concentrate on the course and revision and took the decision to do no hobbies and yes it was hard lol.

But now it's all over I can pick up my needle or crochet hook and be content.  I've had a new camera, had it for my birthday Christmas time and I'm still getting to grips with it lol so once I do there will be lots of photos....I started and made good progress on a lovely granny stripe blanket with the colours being the same as Lucy from Attic24 and I must say it's looking lush so far.

I've also to finish a blanket for my youngest daughter, not many rows to go either :) but today I wanted to make some bunting for the stairs bannister but I'm still looking at colours and whether I should make squares, circles or triangles......

Pretty Birthday Card

Hello everyone,

Well have I been busy these past few months with crochet and cross stitch.  I gave up card making a few years ago and sold all my craft stuff (yep and now I regret it) but the bug has bitten and although I'll not have a house like Hobbycraft it's ok (sobs) anyway I've made a few cards and wanted something a little different so stitched the name and I have to say it adds quite the personal touch.....let me show you.

This card is 6" x 6" and is a lovely pink with spots, I added a doilly which are back in fashion along with some embellishments.  I just love the way the name turned out with cross stitch, very personal and once the birthday is over you could frame the card.  Another card I made.....

This card is 8" x 6" and feels chrismassy.........fizzy moon is so cute and again I've stitched the name and added a heart button.  Who wouldn't want to receive something unique.

Told you I'd been busy but just wait until you see what else I've been up to......check out my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheFaeryStitcher

Sweets Galore Scarf

We went on holiday a few weeks ago to Welshpool where we stayed in converted stables, the view was amazing and I loved sitting out back watching the sun rise up the mountain while crocheting......https://www.facebook.com/TheFaeryStitcher

I love how these colours have mixed and the wool has a beautiful sheen to it, making some more in different colours but with the same make of wool.
