I’ve been brightening up some dull January days with some happy crochet that makes me think of spring to come.

Miniature Christmas Trees
I’ve been re-stocking – reforesting? – my shop with tiny Christmas trees over the weekend. Yes, I know it seems terribly early, but I sold three within minutes of posting about them, so people are obviously already on the look out for their Christmas ornaments.
Gourds and Pumpkins
Today I’ve been updating my decorative gourds and pumpkins for 2017. New combinations and some (hopefully) better photographs this year!
Floral Crocheted Brooches
I’ve been refreshing my range of hand-crocheted brooches this week. It’s been a while since I had some of my floral designs in stock, and I have also relisted my more autumnal woollen designs.
Christmas Trees
More new additions to my shop this week! These little trees are now rivalling my pinecones as my favourite things to make. It’s far too early for real Christmas trees (we’re a week-before-Christmas family) but I’ve had such a lot of fun decorating these tiny treasures.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars
A new addition to my Etsy shop this weekend – a set of three gift tags with little crocheted stars.
I think they’d be perfect gift toppers for matching bridesmaid’s gifts or wedding gifts.
Rainbow Brooch Cards
Here’s a new design I’ve added to my range today: rainbow brooch cards.
I had the idea to make these after being invited by the very talented Louise of Louise Goodchild Designs to take part in her Rainbow Market this coming weekend.
I have no idea why it had never occurred to me to add rainbows to my range of brooch cards before, because they’re so cheerful and I think anyone would love to receive a card with one of these brooches.
An Escargoterie of Snails
I’m delighted to announce the arrival of the Little Conkers crocheted snails! They’ve been a bit slow getting here, but then they are snails…
Scroll down for the snail crochet pattern.
Did you know the collective noun for snails can be a walk, rout or escargotoire? The collective noun for slugs is a cornucopia.
Cath Kidston-inspired Fruit Bowl
I’ve just completed this set of crocheted fruit in a colour palette inspired by the fabrics of Cath Kidston.
Her designs (the fabric pictures in this blog are all Cath Kidston’s) are an instantly-recognisable mixture of pastels and bolder red and pink accents. Read More
