    The girl who lost her listening ears – Page 1

    June 30, 2020 / 2 Comments

    I’ve been working hard on artwork for my new children’s book – The girl who lost her listening ears – and have tried a patchwork style as I’m not much of an artist. I’m toying with a border as it looks a little bit like stitches – below are a straight and wiggly version – which do you prefer? I’d love to know what you think, please add a comment below.

    I love crafting and appliqué style in particular so have put together some images for a children’s book I’m working on (you can find an excerpt here). I’d love to know what you think of this style.

    Crochet Rainbow

    June 16, 2020 / Comments Off on Crochet Rainbow

    I’ve always wanted to learn how to crochet and decided that lockdown was the perfect opportunity to try. After much um-ing and ah-ing, I decided that a rainbow was the perfect project to start to add some colour to our neighbourhood while we couldn’t go out. I followed this video by Crochet by Bev and, after one restart, soon got into the hang of the double crochet, increasing stitch pattern with the result: one colourful rainbow and a small amount of my wool stash used! I then chained some crochet strands in the top colour (red) to hang on a stick from the garden for a rustic look and it…

Nothing. She marched across the bedroom, pulled the covers back from the bed and shook Poppy’s shoulder. Poppy rolled over and opened her eyes. “Poppy, time to get up.” Poppy blinked. It was no good, she couldn’t hear anything. Her mother stared and mouthed…something. She pointed to the mirror. Poppy walked over and her mouth dropped. She had lost her listening ears. There, on her head, where once two ears had stuck out proudly, there…

    Appliqué Lampshades

    June 11, 2020 / Comments Off on Appliqué Lampshades

    I have been meaning to recover 2 plain lampshades I had for our gym for a while and recently got round to doing it. I knew I wanted a mountain-scape as eventually I want to paint a mountain motif on the wall and I challenged myself to use only materials I already had.
