I’ve been so busy making things for my up coming crochet stall at Morley College Winter Fair on the 4th December and doing puppet shows for birthday parties that I’ve sadly neglected my blog. For this I do apologise .
I’m going to show you all briefly what I’ve been making.
I’m really getting into the creative side of crochet in a big way. I’m an artist at heart ( and by training) and crochet is bringing out the sculptor in me. I’m now making up my own patterns and creating my own creatures . It’s so exciting.
I’ve been making lots of finger puppet sets as gift ideas for Xmas. The more I make, the more ideas I get for new ones. I really must get off this computer and start another. But before I do, let me show you what I’ve made so far.
With my obsession with all things fairyland, I had to make a fairyland set, complete with fairy, flowers, toadstool and a sweet bambi. Aah!
Details of my fairyland finger puppet set.
The full set. I made up the patterns.
Old Macdonald had a farm, E I E I O
And on that farm he had a chicken, a duck, a pig, a horse and a scarecrow
Zoo animals and a pink elephant. Well, why not?
Little Arabella Miller found a wooly caterpilar, and a frog and a daisy, a snail and a butterfly.
Blast off ! With a rocket,a flying saucer, alien , moon and star.
Tell a knights tale with this dragon, damsel, tower, noble steed, and knight in shiny silver amour.
I’ll be back to show you the rest.
Now where did I put my crochet hook?
I know I’m biased, but I think they’re really cute. They’d make the perfect gift for dog lovers everywhere, are fantastic for creative play and could be the gift for someone who already has everything. They’re one -off , so guaranteed no one will have anything like this. A set of 3 handmade puppies costs £12 and come presented in their own white box.
