Today I started a blog.

Wow.......

I Finally found a proper place, that not only helps me with all the jargon, but actually it's quite easy to understand. (Google Blogger ).

Today is Monday 22nd of December 2014
The real reasons for me to start this blog was, so that I could share my love of not only craft but what makes me happy...

I have joined the most perfect sites ever these Are : Ravelry.com and Pinterest.com
These sites give you everything you could possibly think of , craft ideas, cooking ideas, wood work. You name it these two sites are truly amazing. So please come along and say hello....

on Ravelry.com I found the most perfect designer: Heidibears, also you can find her blog to which is :
Heidibears: http://Heidibearscreative.blogspot.com


These are some of my Creations I've made using Heidibears patterns.

This is Max The African Flower BullDog. 

All of Heidi's pattern use African Flower Motifs.

On her page she will show you how to make them...... Also she gives you tutorials on how to join as you go..(jayg). All her patterns are extremely well illustrated and laid out well.

You can not find an easier or more brilliant place for these beautiful patterns.

As you can see I got very carried away with making these brilliant BullDogs..

You can actually see the size of the puppies by my next photo.

Each puppy was made using a 1.00mm crochet hook.

I used 4ply White yarn, that I split so I could use just I strand.

The brown (rust colour) was 100% cotton, again split into just one strand.

I will admit, it was quite fiddly to do, specially as the cotton was prone to snap if pulled to hard. 

I am truly running before I can walk.....

My first ever pattern I brought from Heidibears was Lollobear, I saw this on Ravelry.com and I had to have it..!!! There was one major problem..... I couldn't Crochet.!!!  :-( 

So what did I do??

 You Tube....hahaha... Brilliant place, I started watching videos about holding your hooks, I watched videos about using the right hook sizes. I watched everything you could think of about learning to Crochet. But could I hold the hook ?... NO I couldn't.

I never knew crochet hooks could fly so well..hahaha, I even hid them out of frustration, all I could think of was the Lollobear i wanted to make... 

Then in May, I picked up a hook again..hahaha  ( ready for disaster ) but to my amazement I started to crochet a chain of stitches... They weren't perfect but it was a start. 

To cut a long story short , Eight Months on :  I'm making lots and lots of amazing animals.

I truly think " Why didn't I try this sooner " .

I hoping to blog every day.. But Christmas is so upon us, so I might find it difficult to find the time.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Xx

So please, don't be shy, leave me your comments...
