Flower Granny Square

WELCOME

Today I'd like to show you my latest project...

I found this lovely Lacy Flower Granny Square.

It must be one of the most Easiest, Granny Squares I have made.

It's a very quick pattern to learn, and the Instructions are just perfect.

I tried different colours,

Before I knew it, I had made quite a few....

now the idea was to make a Afghan, but I got side Tracked by another project, this one I will show you, at a later date!!!

Any ways, this might have to be put on hold, for the time being, but not forgotten......

These Squares were hand made by me.

The Designer OF This Beautiful Square Is :

MAXIMUS THE BULLDOG

Saturday 8th August 2015

Sorry i have not been updating my post much...

I have been rather busy.

Over the past few weeks, I have been making my Modified Lalylala Dolls. The last one made was my Ice Cream Doll....
I was truly very happy when Lydia Tresselt,the Designer actually sent me a lovely Email, expressing how much she loves my modified versions of her Dolls.

As you can imagine, this has definitely made me so happy, I am truly Greatful for any FeedBacks I might receive.
So once I'd finished that Doll, I started another one, but I shall keep this one a secret abit longer, only because I had to put it aside so that I could make my next HeidiBears project...!!!

For quite a while now I've been wanting to make another BullDog, 🐾🐾  IN ARON Wool....
So I did...!!! Haha hehe...
The Motifs for this Project were of course a lot bigger than the normal size I have made in the past.

 I used a 3.0mm Crochet Hook, which is a lot bigger than my favourite hook size (1.75mm).
Using this size hook and the Aron wool, was a lot more challenging than I thought.
My hands and Wrists hurt more than I thought they would, but like a hero...I battled on, through pain and tiredness, I created a Dog that I've always wanted to make.

He measures...20"inches Long and 13 1/2"inches Tall.
I haven't weighed him, I don't want to give him a complex...   hahaha hehehe...!!!
The colours used are Cream and a Brown fleck.

Both are Aron Yarns, even though the brown fleck yarn was slightly thinner in feel than the cream yarn was.

He now joins the ever growing family of Crocheted Creations...

African Flower Designs by HeidiBears.com

And Lalylala Dolls designed by Lydia Tresselt. At lalylala.com

Both you can find at : Ravelry.com

Watch Out, There's A BAT About..!!!

7th August 2015

Here I am again.......

Yes I've just finished my latest Doll....

VLAD THE BAT.....!!!! ➰➰➰

He stands 11"tall, and is made with The women's institutes soft and silky yarn.
Available from HobbyCraft.. ( Newton Abbot, Devon ).

Colours are... Mainly Blue, and the inside of his wings are Purple,               edged with a mixture yarn of blue,purple and pink...

I've enjoyed making this one, the only thing I got Abit confused with, purely because they were Tricky, was the Ears...in my opinion they should have been a bit smaller in size....

I'm not sure what or which one I'm making next !!! But the list is definitely getting a lot longer !!! 

I would just like to thank [ JenniferWangBears.com ].
Her E - Mails are always a joy to read and she gives me such brilliant ideas for my Modified Dolls.

Things To Make

Sunday 31st May 2015

Welcome back fellow Crafty Crafters..........
How has your week been...!!!
Have you achieved your goals, have you set more goals. 
or have you finally picked up that HOOK and......thrown it again..... And again...and again...lol...


During the past few months, I have been making small Granny squares. I know this may sound boring to some, but if you follow me, you will know that I have joined a group on Ravelry and the group is called Heidibears. Now at the moment we're reaching the end of the 2nd Quarter of this challenge....!!!!
Don't worry it's not a difficult challenge, all you have to do is make a motif a day, wether it's a Square or a African flower, anything you decide you would like to make, each Quarter works as Three Months, so that would be approximately 91days. Depending on how many days are in each month.

Any way to cut a long story short, I decided to make some small squares as Extra, because I had already finished the 91 motifs.
On this Daisy Blanket and Cushion.
So when I added the squares together I had...54 squares...phewwww....now what to make ???.

I decided it would be fun to make a bag.......
As you can see I think it turned out ok, for a first try...hahaha.

The strap I made using Single Crochet Stitch.

So that's 36 Squares used, what's next, 

Light Bulb !!

I'll make a smaller Bag..

I think both these projects came out better than I thought they would....hahaha...

Put it this way.... My mother has already pinched the smaller bag.!!!

So I'll have to start another one..!!

Any excuse to Crochet...hahaha... :)

If you need to know how to make this, drop us a line and I'll happily tell you..

Enjoy your day..

Happy Crocheting !!!.

^x^

Busy Busy Busy

 Monday 18th May, 2015.

Welcome Back.

After spending at least two days, sorting through all my Yarns and cottons, I have decided I NEED MORE...hahaha.
Do I really need an excuse to buy more yarn... NO !!!!

Now to the Crochet Hooks.. 

I recently purchased a set of hooks through Amazon.

These Fusion hooks :- A very good buy.

High Quality Aluminium Crochet Hooks
in sizes 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5, 5.5 and 6mm

These hooks come in a plastic partitioned packaging

Each hook is 13.7cm (5.4-inch) long

Size is permanently marked on the handle

Great for any beginner, as this set covers the most popular sizes to get you started with.

Tried and tested, and I must admit, there perfect and they are easy to hold.

I truly think if All My Crochet Hooks could Talk, mine would definitely say ....
 "We need a day of, I have rights you know" ....hahaha.

So because I had received  new hooks,
 I had to make something !!!

This is my latest Modified lalylala Doll

Again I will put all the links you need, at the End of this Blog.

BEABY The BlackBerry Doll.

She now Joins the every increasing family.

All the Dolls above,

 Tuesday 5th May

Welcome to another Glorious

Example of my handmade version of A 

Lalylala Doll ......

This Doll I have named

AMY The Skateboarding Bunny.

I can truly say.....I am totally addicted to

Making these brilliant Dolls.

Lalylala designs are fantastic.

Each doll has its own personal story.

And

Each doll comes with a very well illustrated Tautarial,

If you can single Crochet you can make one of her

Amazing dolls....

When I make a Doll, I try and

Give each one, it's own character.

It's abit harder than I thought,

But I think I have given it a go.

What do you think.!!!!

~~~~~~~

I must just say

The Skateboard was 

Hand made by my

Dear patient hubby...

He also made me all the Bases

I have for all my Dolls.

So a very Big

THANK YOU.xxxx

This Doll now joins

The every Growing

Family......

Well it's that time again...

1st of April 2015....

How many of you had a prank pulled on you???

I'm so glad I'm not in for all that funny business anymore, hahhaha, Am I showing my age yet.. LOL...

Right, Here We Go....

Here is my next Laylala Doll - Dirk The Dragon.

Hand Made by Yours truly (craftypaulaa)

This original pattern as you probably know by now is available from Ravelry.com.

(Lydia Tresselt) ~ Laylala.

I think this one might have been a bit more tricky, than the others.

Dirk the Dragon, has spikes on his back and his Ears, so I had to learn a new Technique...

Considering I've now been crocheting for 12 months, I  think I'm progressing quite well.

Or am I speaking to sooooon !!! Hahaha.

I suppose time will tell...

I hope you like.

Thank you for Visiting Me.

Come back Any Time.
