A FINISHED WALDORF DOLL

This doll is the completed version of one of the works in progress at the end of my first post.  I think it has turned out rather lovely and the recipient was very pleased to receive it.

The body and hat of the doll is handmade felt.  I particularly like the colors of this one.

SOME FINISHED PROJECTS

Some of these projects were finished quite a while ago.  The following items were created as a 'welcome to the world' gift for a friend's baby girl.

Next are some pics of projects completed more recently.  I am quite proud of these because I have just learnt to crochet this year.......

This blanket is my first ever completed crochet project and this went to another expectant mum.

Pics of the completed poncho I posted about previously.  This one went to my niece.  Pattern for poncho from Le Monde de Sucrette and Teeny Tiny Flowers from Lucy of Attic24.  Some day I hope design my own crochet patterns.

A set of nesting bowls (pattern from Seriously Daisies) and some little crocheted disks for sorting.

And last but not least, a pretty little crocheted handbag.  This is just a large granny square with the corners folded and joined and lined with some fabric, very easy.

If you happen to read this I hope you have enjoyed looking at my pics...........

DABBLING
When it comes to crafting, I am a dabbler, I will have a go at anything.  Whilst I find dabbling fun it does have it's downside, i.e I seem to start too many projects at the one time and it doesn't feel like I am going to finish anything.  On the flip side of that it also means that when I have a lot of 'almost finished' projects I can feel as if I have achieved a lot when they are completed all at once. ANYWAY........... here are some pics of  some of my dabblings.

If you are a dabbler like me, I hope it brings you lots enjoyable hours and relaxation.

Here Goes.........

Well I'm finally doing it, posting my first blog entry. I've had this blog since late 2010 but never posted. I've seen so many beautiful crafty things on the blogs of some very talented others and kept thinking that my stuff just wouldn't measure up. But I've finally mustered the motivation to give it a go. At the grand age of 39 I finally learnt to crochet by you tubing left handed videos so I will now attempt to post some pics.

Oh my goodness it worked. This is a poncho I'm working on for my niece. The pattern comes from Le Monde de Sucrette. Sorry I haven't worked out how to link yet but didn't want to plagiarise someone else's work.

And then there are these......
2 Waldorf dolls in progress with hand felted bodies (if you can see the tiny photo, feel free to have a giggle at my expense). I will have to keep practising to make my posts as glamorous as other blogs I have been reading. Bye for now.....
