Makings...

As I am hibernating January away, I am busy making lots of little bits and bobs. I was very kindly given a tea-cosy kit for Christmas, so now my tea-pot is looking all kinds of fancy. 

 My first sixteen Sunburst squares are done, and all joined in a pretty row. I am rather pleased with them. I have a little pinterest board up and running to keep track of my squares too, so I know what inspired each square. 

 I am busy working on little crochet flower brooches for my stall today, trying to fight off the Winter Mopeys, and encourage the spring.

My Makings...

I've been a busy little maker-bee this week, full of ideas and inspiration. I had a very fabulous day out with one of my lovely friends for her birthday, so of course I needed a new brooch for the occasion. I quickly whipped up a pretty kilt-pin flower brooch which looks, if I do say so, rather splendid on my tweedy winter coat with my vintage-inspired flower brooch. 

 Embracing the chilly weather, I had a cosy day at home finishing my latest project, an Autumn inspired cushion, to remind me of the changing seasons and keep me feeling warm as the days get colder. 

I am planning some sock knitting time over the next few days, with second-sock syndrome holding me back with my current pair!
