Crochet Clutch Bag

I wanted to make something for a little girl’s birthday present. Her mummy gave me some white yarn which she originally wanted to make a blanket for this little girl but it never eventuated so I wanted to make something to gift her with this yarn and voila – a crochet clutch bag

Nerf Bullet Holster

My son has been invited to a nerf gun party so we’re in search of the best ways to store his bullets supplies. 
I found an incomplete knitting project where I had a 3 inch piece of ribbing (k2 p2). So I decided to try to use it to create a cross body holster. crocheted and made the individual bullet slots.

Newborn Sets

I was recently commissioned to knit a set of cardigans & booties for a set of twins.  I simply love knitting & it was such fun knitting/crocheting these two.

Crochet Bunting

When I was preparing for my daughter’s first birthday party, I fell in love with the idea of creating crochet decorations for her party.  I found a gorgeous crochet doily garland pattern and spent many evenings creating this beautiful bunting.

I also crocheted a heart bunting and several glass jar holders which I filled with crepe paper flowers.

Dora Birthday Party

I love celebrating but it’s always a juggle to keep to budget. One thing I do to cut cost is by hand making decorations. There’s so much you can do with coloured paper & colour printer.
My daughter turned 4 earlier this year and all she wanted was a ‘Dora party’ so off I went in search of templates online that I can use to create the Dora theme.
I found a couple of sites with downloadable templates to print invitations, cupcake toppers, banners, water bottle labels, etc
Simple table setting in colour theme
I was thrilled that I was able to use my crochet bunting again from her 1st birthday party
Water bottle labels were printed on paper & glued over existing labels. 
We had the party at the park and I decided to try my hand at making a cupcake birthday cake. I was so surprised at how convenient it was, especially at the park
Birthday cupcakes- found cake toppers on ebay for $5
