Little B sleeps and I sit at the table making a mess.
This is mess of the very Bestest Kind.
Creative Mess.
Yarn. Thread. Beads. Buttons.
Colour. Creativity. Activity. Happiness.
I am hugely happy.
Big swell of my heart and big smile on my face.
I am working through an idea that flew into my head on Monday and refused to budge.
And it's all come together and has worked out and I am so so so SO excited.
I love it when an idea is successfully moved from my Creative Mind, through my hands and into Reality.
I am inCREDibly excited to show you what I've been up to, but I've not quite finished yet.
I can tell you that it's a little hooky something (of course), combined with buttons and beads.
And tuna.
Yes, that's right.
Tuna.
As in the can of fish.
Oh, and flowers too.
Watch this space............

Edit to add :: the yarn is Rowan Handknit Cotton DK xx

You are such a naughty tease Lucy...hurry , hurry - it's been 2 days already!!
Got an idea to cover tins (minus the baked beans or tuna!)with felt, embellished with flowers and tied on with pretty ribbons. Only to stash my hooks, pens, scissors prettily.
Can't wait! (really I can't wait ANYMORE!!!!)

PS Made your curry last night - yum!
I cooked some chicken & onions first which I added to the sauce - plan to do prawns next time. Thank you, Lucy, for this delicious & straightforward recipe.

I wonder if it's something to stop the flowers toppling over when they get too tall? If it is, I need one as my hyacinths look like something from Jack & the Beanstalk!

Ooooh, something to plant bulbs in maybe?! Can't wait for the big reveal :-)

Bring on the Ta DAH!! Although I'm hoping it works with pineapple too, as we don't like tuna very much :/

I've been reading your blog for some time now. I just happened to stumble across it one day while looking for crochet patterns.
I have to say - it's the most fantastic blog I've ever seen and I'm so happy you continue to write, post pictures, provide us all with great ideas for crafts, etc.
Keep it up!

Interesting, my brain will be in overdrive wondering what goodies you have done with a tuna tin, first thing springing to mind is a cover for it?
