New Hooky Stuff!

I have been quite over excited with myself and my crochet these past few days, ever since Sunday in fact. Cos on Sunday I decided that I wanted some some hooky action, and I wanted it so badly that no-one was going to stand in my way. Not noooooo-one. Not even that cheeky crawly Little Bundle who usually scuppers all my best laid plans.

And so it came to pass that shortly after breakfast on Sunday morning I gathered all my bits and pieces together, installed myself at the dining table and slowly but surely began to get myself all worked up over some New Things.

It's been quite some time since I did New Things. As you know, the past ?? months I've been oh so slowly working on my blanket, slowly slowly, plod plod plod. And as much as I'm still enjoying that project, I've really missed the thrill of having a brand new sparkling design idea and getting all insanely giddy over trying it out and making it work.

You can probably tell by todays pictures what I've been up to eh? Yup, I've been designing and making some Christmas decorations. Ahhhh it's been hugely exciting, it really has!

The above picture was taken this morning, and as you can see I was trying really, really, really hard to multi task, to carry on the creative momentum that I found on Sunday whilst also looking after Little B. Hmmmmm. It was kind of successful...I did manage to sew on a few buttons, and string on a few beads and bells, but Little B did not make  it easy for me. You can just see him to the side of my Big Chair look, crawling round, getting into all sorts of mischief. . He did his level best to interfere with me, he really did. Just as I was trying really, really, really hard to be creative, he was trying even harder to stop me. Of course he won out, and I stopped. Went back to the business of building towers from stacking cups so that he could knock them down. The usual mummy-baby stuff that we do around here.

Anyhow, I have to tell you I am completely thrilled with my hooky decs, and I can't wait to show you properly what I've made so far. The light here at the moment is very weird because of the snow outside and it's quite hard to take photographs. But I promise you I will try tomorrow, I am really desperate to show you.

I'm also going to write up a picture-pattern for these little decorations (light/time permitting) cos I think every Christmas tree deserves a bit of a Hooky Treat.

Where do you get your beautiful, vibrant yarn? I just drool over your pictures and how juicy all of the colors are. I'm fairly new to crocheting and I'm in the U.S, but when I go to the hobby store to look at yarn, it's all so drab!!

[Queen of Whatever]

Its about time ..... Thank goodness!
I see you have your tea with cinnamon at hand.
I am glad you are feeling crafty lately...Maybe its the Christmas season....

[Jennifer (Dairymaid)]

Lovely Lucy! I went a-hunting the other day for a snowflake pattern and was sorely disappointed, books and internet were not inspiring. But of course.... on my little trip to Attic 24 for a bit of bright happiness I found your pattern. The best ever. (smack on forehead for not checking here first) Next on agenda is the advent garland you did last year. And now I'm so happy skippy excited there may be .....MORE Christmas patterns coming! Love your work and thanks so much.

P.s. enjoy those baby & mummy moments, you know they go too quick.

Very lovely! Your colors are wonderful.

[Amanda]

I know how hard it is to multi-task with little ones crawling in an out of your legs! They looks super bright and cheerful - just the thing to melt the snow away :)

[Kris]

It is so good to see you posting again. I discovered your blog, fell in love with crochet again, and read every word from your first post. Then you got busy with your little man, and I remember how that goes, not leaving much time for other fun things. I so enjoy your work!!!

[Crafty Gardener]

these look very cute, you need a whole tree covered in hooky ornaments

[Helen]

Your hooky decorations look absolutely gorgeous! Love the shapes and the colours and textures!! It's so hard to do anything with little ones around, you are doing really well to make these. Loved your snowy post too. Have a great hooky time. Helen x

[Anne@andamento]

They're really nice, can't wait for the pattern so I can have a go, time-permitting of course - my little boy is 2 and I find I can only crochet once he's gone to bed and sadly his afternoon nap is no more...
