my yarn creations

Lately I have been knitting and trying to crochet. I say trying to crochet - I am a dab hand at granny squares but have never mastered doing anything other than the granny square but now I am trying to follow patterns and creat other patterns - ok still square shapes but what other shapes are there for sample swatches??? I am have decided to gradually work my way through the book 200 crochet blocks for blankets, throws and afghans by Jan eaton. I am starting with the easiest squares donated with 1 crochet hook and working my way up to the more difficult

Square 2 - tiny textures



Circles in a square - a free download from Raverly

another cupcake class

I went on another cupcake decorating class today and it was brilliant - my results weren't but I am pleased with what I did achieve! There is a fab company in the Milton Keynes area called Mum's who bake who do some fantastic classes and todays was to decorate cupcakes to make them look like flower heads

I didnt realise quite how long it has been since I posted on here - Im sure no one reads this but if you have stumbled across me then I am sorry!

I have been making jewellery, knitting and doing some crochet (tho I am not too good at that!!!) I dont really have any photos of my makes other than my cupcakes I made earlier this year on a course then some at home! I am working hard at finishing a throw in granny squares I have been making on and off (more off) for years but it means sweing ends in and sewing together of 225 4inch squares - I will post a pic once I have finished it!

so for now enjoy my cupcakes....well looking at them anyway!
