We have arrived safely in Korea after a long and very turbulent 12 hour flight. So amazing being in a different country... off again on a long flight to Israel tomorrow.
Despite the busyness of packing for our trip in the middle of our school hoidays, I have somehow found time to finish off a few things... I think I have a really bad addiction to crafting when I should be doing more important things.
You may remember that candlewick fabric I found? Well look at these cute little softie bunnies I made from it - so snuggly and soft (and so many retro memories that come with that fabric!).
And a little pink corduroy bunny too...
Another slouch crochet beanie...
And look what arrived in the mail today - the cutest little Amigurumi Lemon Cupcake made by Donna (from Cute Designs) that I won in her giveaway! I can't wait to try and crochet my own cupcake sometime.
Just letting you know that I've shut up the shop before we go on our adventure... but don't worry, everything will be back in it's proper place once we are back (and if you are a robber, our place is being looked after, so don't even think about breaking in and stealing softies and beanies.
Although you can contact me if you want a free ringneck parrot).
Take for example these delicious looking Coffee & Chocolate Scones...
They were actually disgusting. Usually in our house there aren't leftovers... but there were plenty of these left over (I won't offer to share the recipe this time).
And what about this cute little softie (from the "Ugly Bunny" range - just thought I'd mention that incase you thought it was rather ugly)...
Let's just call it the "deformed leg" softie, thanks to a little someone (who is yet to own up) snipping holes in it's legs. Out of sympathy, Master 11 has offered to adopt it.
And what about this serene photo of the keyboard being played by cute little fingers... can't you just imagine my children sitting nicely during these holidays colouring, making beautiful music on the keyboard, playing games politely together...
Well, the truth is that this is the reality...
Thankfully Barney isn't being too naughty while sleeping in the pretend T.V. (unlike Grover yesterday).
I've had a few beanie projects to finish this last week - one for a friend who shaved all her hair off to raise funds for the leukemia foundation, and another for a little girl who has undergone chemotherapy and has lost all of her beautiful hair.
It's been fun crocheting for a cause, but I've had so much trouble when it comes to finding models for my beanies around the house - no one is keen at all! I've tried bribing with lollies and chocolate (apparently they don't like that "yukky dark chocolate" we have in the pantry), and even threatening... but for some strange reason, everyone is sick of modeling the beanies.
And when I do get a photo, it looks like this or this one below...
So alas, I think those years of cute beanie modeling photos (here, here and here) have come to an end.
I will just have to be thankful for the lovely white drawers that happily display the latest creations...
I was allowed a couple of shots like this one below if no face was showing!
