Kids Of COPS

    Please watch this video it is for a VERY GOOD CAUSE
My latest creations are these two crochet boxes. The smallest is about 5 x 5" & the biggest is about 6 x 6". I made these because on our latest visit to Ikea, there they had some that looked as if they were made out of fritter (sorry not sure how you spell it) & my mum said one of these would be good for my youngest to use down her house to put her make-up e.c.t in. So i came home went on you tube & found a tutorial by Crochet Geek. I did do mine a little different to her's but watching her tutorial help. Please let me know what you think & if you have a look at Crochet Geek on you tube or make one of your own.

This is one inside the other.                                             Here they are side by side.

I saw a video on you tube by pinksofoxy, where she had made a draw liner for her to put her make-up in. so i thought i would give it a go & do one of my own, & like her i used pink & black fabric as i think they go well together. Here is my own draw liner, please let me know what you think & if you have a go yourself please post some photos. Do go over to pinksofoxy on you tube & have a look at hers. .

Hi everyone, hope your all having a great day. I haven't been been on here for a long time, in fact i think this is the first time this year. I was hoping this year was going to be better than last health wise, but the beginning of the year didn't start off very well. I ended last year with a bad cold, was ok over christmas then woke new years day & was worse than before. Then when i got over that it was one thing after another. One good thing to come out of it was that i taught myself to crochet because it was one thing i could do hold out on the sofa. One day i was having a good day so my hubby took me out for a drive & we nipped into a local Aldi. In there they had these books, one about teaching yourself to crochet another teaching yourself patchwork & one about sewing, they did have others as well but these were the only ones i wanted. So i got them & A big ball of wool from there, came home started reading & playing ( I had a hook at home that I'd got free with a magazine). Then i went on you tube & looked at some videos on there & with know time i had mad a couple of snoods, Then i was making snoods for other people & i made a basket to put my wool & hooks in as i got some other sizes. Then my girls wanted a beanie to go with there snoods & then i made some finger-less mittens so phones could still be used. Here's a photo of a few of the snoods i have made.

The problem I've got now is i can't seem to find my mojo, i want to get back in to my crafting (well paper crafting ) but i just can't seem to get going. I had some great stuff for christmas & since. I've got idea's going round my head but i just can't get going. My youngest daughter has got her prom in June & I've found this lovely bag tutorial on you tube. I've got the fabric for it so that's one thing i must start soon.
