craftyness + thriftyness

This week has been about making some Mother's Day presents for my Mum;

a simple pin cushion and a lightweight scarf

I have also made a present for a friends' daughter

I found the tutorial for this doll here at One Red Robin.

I made these leggings for Miss Evie from a jumper.

I am going to alter these two ladies t-shirts & turn them into dresses for Miss Abbey.

I found these two patterns at the op-shop yesterday and am planning to knit the girls and myself a top each! Pretty nice bargain!

Just love the '80's hair-do's!!


I came across this blog while browsing the Ravelry site, 

I cannot read or speak French but I become mesmerised while looking through her blog and photos. It must be the idea of everything being French, it truly fascinates me.

I am going to have a go at making this, I have translated the pattern into English using Google, and I will search for some wool or cotton so I can get it started!!
