I did a bit more faffing today to see what effects I can get with different yarns. This one was done with a 1mm hook, and fine yarn that I'd normally use for the doilies. You need very good light for working with a hook and thread that small. Oh, and I attached a recycled sparkly bead in the middle for a change.
A certain person, who has ever-so-slight bossy tendencies (but is very sweet really), has been on at me to make crochet flowers to decorate bags or to use as brooches. So, as ordered, here they are :-) I'm calling them bag bling.....now, what sort of price do I sell them for? I hate putting a price on things I make.
I had an unexpected day on my own today, so I started off watching "Some Like It Hot" (which I've never seen) but it was too early on a Sunday to concentrate. I've been hatching an idea for a soap so thought I'd have a go today - what did I learn? Blue lye water does NOT equal blue soap. Hmph. It's skulking under some towels now while it goes through gel. Maybe it'll look more the right colour tomorrow.
On a roll in the kitchen, I made a yummy lemon drizzle cake (failsafe recipe so no problems with that one). Only problem is you have to wait for it to cool completely before you can attack it - it was an agonising wait.
After I'd stuck yet more laundry in the machine, my little brain was whirring with ideas so, as you do, I made some "bag bling". Crochet flowers to use as brooches or bag decorations. These are a bit different though - what you can do with a couple of plastic carrier bags, eh? :-) So, here you have it (I really should get out more I think) - plastic bags recycled and made into flowers. Not sure they'll catch on though :-/
What can you see on this palm tree?
A horse's face or a little bum, or both?
Does this one win the prize for the most diabolical yet?
Hmmmmmm we'll see :-)
