Who's getting crafty or creative for their LO?

was looking to make some canvas art like this

probably not in the black as it doesn't go with the theme I have already picked out, but I am a sucker for twinkle lights, so this is perfect

I may make the mobile too, I just have to find a good design first to follow

I think I'm going to do something like this or wall art. I know it's not homemade by me, but I still have to pick all of the colors and get it up on the wall piece by piece.

[Sass827]

I think that she posted some clarification on her site. Did you see it babee?
I am so angry at my baby sweater pattern. I'm almost done and the front and back are way too long and te sleeves are way too short. Grrr!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Not sure if it counts but as soon as we get that lovely little house, Im gonna decorate (read: draw) all over the wall of LO's bedroom, from random animals to kids and little cute pillows with faces on them etc etc Might take a while but Im not an artist for nothing xD

Heres the pram Blanket i was making... its just a basic HDC stitch and then a combo of stitches to go round the edges to add a frill not bad considering i didnt have a clue how to crochet the other week lol

Very good Babee!!!

Crochet is so satisfying once you pick it up. Im really glad you've taken to it.

The HDC makes a really impressing looking blanket. And I love the yarn. xx

ive managed to make this, i just cant make little fiddly things like boots, hats etc :/

[Babee_Bugs]

[Sass827]

Does this help babee? I'm sorry! I know nothing of crochet! https://imtopsyturvy.com/crochet-wrap-button-infant-boots-girls-boys/

 

[Babee_Bugs]

How are the crafty makes going ladies? I'm still knitting my blanket as I dont get much time during the week & can only really do it at weekends.

I recently tried to crochet but just couldnt do it. Do you ladies know of any websites where there are REALLY simple instructions to crochet? I can just about hold the hook correctly!! I've seen so many lovely things to crochet & am frustrated I couldn't do it.

Hi Poppy.

Will post some photos tomorrow of bits I've made.

Best way to learn is youtube I find. For me watching other people do it and practicing loads was the key. xx
