More flowery cushiony goodness!! and a mini giveaway. x

Well well well. I have been busy on the hook as some of you have already guessed. I worked hard at turning those ever so pretty flowers into a cushion over the week. It was quite a fiddly procedure but eventually I got it. The hardest thing was working out which stitch in the back of the flower I was suppsed to work into. I only hope I have done it right and they don't all start to unravel.

So.... do you wanna see???

Okay here you go... my latest crochet Ta daaaaa....



I really am quite skippy with excitement about this. It is a specially ordered item and the recipient wanted blues and purple shades. Some of the shades are slightly more pink than purple but I hope they like it anyway.

Close up:

Skippety skippety. Happy, happy happy!

The Back:



Button edge using vintagey buttons I found for 10p each!



Just one last one???



The pattern is Rosehip's flower squares which you will find if you scroll down my sidebar. I think I will call this cushion Violet Sometimes. I am just a little sad that this is going to be going to a new home. Can I bear to part with it??? It would make such a nice friend for Flower cushion.

So.... I started a new project based on a similar one seen in Attic24 archives. Here's a small start. This is super easy and super quick and I love it. I am using 27colours of Stylecraft yarn and the whole thing just looks like jewels to me so this is going to be called my Jewelled cushion.




Now, if you have stuck with me this long then thank you so much. I notice that I have just reached 400 followers!!!! Woohooooo!!! That is just amazing. It really blesses my little heart to think that so many people are interested in my little space on the web. So that deserves a little giveaway don't you think? Well, I will have a little think and see what I can come up with. I will do a separate post for it soon I promise so stay tuned.

I would however like to do a separate giveaway on this post. In my last post there were quite a few people from abroad (I am in UK) who said they had never heard of chocolate limes!!!!! So I would like to invite readers FROM OTHER COUNTRIES ONLY PLEASE who have never heard of or cannot get hold of chocolate limes to leave me a message on here and I will pick a winner and post you out a bag. If you would like to that is. I mean, I cannot have so many people telling me they have never tried them. I think that is simply awful. They are really yummy. You start with a zingy limey hard boiled sweet and it has a chocolate centre that melts as you get closer to it. So please state in your comment if you would like to be entered to try a bag. Remember - ABROAD ONLY!! No cheating Uk-ers.I will leave this open for a week till the 7th - that is plenty of time is it not?? Open to anyone - follower or not - who cannot get hold of them and would like to try them. Make sure I have your email too if it isn't in your profile.

So stay tuned for another giveaway soon and hope you all have a lovely week. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
