The Gallery: I Made This!

I have a been a busy bee this week and its only Wednesday! Actually these two things I made yesterday.

In the morning I made Ice Cream Cupcakes for the key workers at my daughters pre-school. We saw them about 6 weeks ago on Channels 4's Sunday Brunch and gave them a go. I have now seen them everywhere and this time used Jo Wheatley's recipe in the Sainbsury's magazine. Both work really well.

 

The second thing I made yesterday and what I am most proud of is this.....

I know it doesn't look like much but its a square of double stitch crochet and the first thing I have ever crocheted. I have been trying to learn for years and its never clicked until I joined Crochet Camp. I hope to get better and them make lots of wonderful things.

What Happens at Crochet Camp Stays at Crochet Camp

Ok so that's not strictly true and you know I am going to blog about it! 

I have wanted to learn how to crochet for years, I have tried to teach myself several times but I just can't do it.

Today I learnt of Crochet Camp which is being hosted my Kat at Slugs on a Refrigerator. Kat is a Crochet guru and has even written her very own book so if she can't teach me no one can.

We shall be making 4 items over 4 weeks and as I have no crochet stuff at all have bought the whole kit from Kats etsy shop. However if you already crochet and want to join in Kat has  a list of what you will need and you can get it yourself.

Camp starts on the 15th July and I can't wait!!

Pretty Things: Toucan Purse from Peacocks

I had been after a little coin purse for a while as my purse is really big and won't fit into any of my smaller bags.

I found this in Peacocks for £3! It holds a decent amount of change and fits perfectly in my bags
