Helloooooo!!!!
I bought some amazing greetings cards recently and thought you would love to see them....
This is the work of Kate Jenkins, who works under the business name of "Cardigan".
You can see a whole gallery of her quirky, innovative crochet work on her website here, and also more here.
I love her work very much, but oooooooooooeeeee at how much one would have to pay to own a bit of Kate's crocheted Comfort Food???!!
Tis eye wateringly expensive.Think I'll stick with the printed paper version.
I'm writing a super-whizzy post today folks as I'm still busy doing bathroomy
things and getting oh-so-excited about it!!!
Been busying myself with sky
blue painted things, stripy fabric things (with matching pompoms) and crocheted
bunting things :: such fun!!
Lovin' it today, love-love-lovin' it. Ooooo I am just all smoochy and In LOVE with my bathroom, it's so very nearly FINISHED (in Capital Letters no less), can't wait to show you......
Life is sometimes just one huge buzz of mega-creative excitement, don't you find??!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
can I tell you a thing?!?I run and eat a big piece of cake...
Kisses for a wonderfull week-end

wow! see what you mean by pricey! A little out of my price range too. However, have you seen a crochet book called Tasty Crochet by Rose Langlitz? There's lots of scrummy foodie patterns in there and I bet if you teamed your makes with a nice little frame from Ikea, you could make something just as wonderful for a fraction of the price.

Every house needs a crocheted Battenberg . It would certainly taste better than the real thing !

Definitely silly money being asked! A couple of my favourites though - the battenburg and the iced gems. Yum!
Your bathroom sounds like loads of fun - both to do and what it is going to be like when it's all done. Can't wait for the big reveal - bet it's amazing!

Waah, you are on a mission to part me from my money, aren't you?! It will definitely have to be the cards though - champagne taste, beer budget.
Have fun with the bathroom! I am envious as I am stuck in gift knitting / crocheting hell.

Those are incredibly cute, but I think I'd stick to the paper version, too!
Can't wait to see the finished results in your bathroom. I'm sure it will be fabulous!!!

Lucy, have recently discovered your blog and love it so, I am literally looking at things around me with new eyes, the world really is a very colourful place. I have also dug out my crochet after many years of knitting, also looking at that with new eyes. You would be more than equal to the task of making some yummy doughnuts, I loved the bugs on the cardigan website. Lynda

Dear Lucy cakes and biscuits with zero
calories. Good idea. I have a sort of seaside bathroom but it needs a bit of a revamp.
Can't wait to see the results of your handiwork. My shed is a bit seasidy as well.
One of my friends pulled my leg about it.
You sound as if you have had a lovely day.
Best wishes Sarah west mids.

Can't wait to see the bathroom reveal.

Ahh. Looks like the bathroom is getting finish just in time! As to the crocheted sweets - you could totally do your own version of them. Just saying.

Wow, now I want to crochet & I'm hungry. LOL
Can't wait to see how your bathroom turns out.

Super cool, but I think I would have gotten way to frustrated that I could not actually eat these scrumptious-looking things...
Posted by: Linda Kristin | November 05, 2009 at 05:39 PM
