Hooky Delights Discount

July tends to be when I start thinking about certain winter festivals, decorations and gifts. It's the nature of hand made, it takes a while to create beautiful crochet, so the "C" word order books all over the hand made community are beginning to creak open... Sorry.

To ease the pain I'm offering 10% discount on everything in my Etsy shop with the code July10. This is good for commissions too - and of course, what you order/buy does not have to be winter festivally.

I will also be begin crocheting gifts for friends and family. I feel Rye needs this doll... (By Erin Druschel)

And quite possibly this.

Hey, if you could have anything crocheted, what would it be?

TAAADDAAAAAH - Sweet little owl mirror.

The mirror was find many moons ago; originally I planned to paint a design on the wood.  The other week I came across the mirror again and I began to think of ways I could prettify it using crochet..and then last night I was looking at the pink owl, puff!  An idea was formed.

I probably should have drawn it out first, but honestly, I'm a crack straight on kind of person, and this was the perfect project to hook while watching Midsommer Murders on Netflix.  As I watched DCI Barnaby solve murder, I hooked away producing leaves and little white flowers.

Ooh the flowers I particularly was excited about; as I'd recently bought lots and lots of different stamens from Ebay, and they are so cute, a wee bit fiddly to use, but some nifty stitching and trusty hot glue gun and woohoo, soon I had flowers with  pretty centres too!

The seller added a few wee glittery, shimmery butterflies to my order too, well I couldn't resist, I added a wee one, which has given me another idea for a beautiful butterfly and flower freeform piece.  That one I may sketch out, mainly so I don't forgot it, so many hooky projects, just not enough time!

Anyhoos, here is my Sweet Little Owl Mirror - TAAAADAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

The owl pattern is from Marken at The Hat & I  the tree branches, leaves and flowers are my own design.  

Let me know if you'd like to me share how I make the leaves and flowers and I'll try and do a photo tutorial.

Oooh and today is Lughnasadh; I'm about to pootle off and make  Lughnasadh bread with Rye and some yarn "corn" dollies :-)

Blessings my lovelies.
