Corazón Cojín de Crochet

Ahora que se acerca San Valentín he pensado que quizás te gustaría hacer algo especial para tu "persona favorita" (como dice Bea). Para tu pareja, una amiga o para ti, claro está. La verdad es que los auto-regalos me encantan porque no sé como lo hago pero siempre acierto, jeje  😉 Si me sigues por …

A Crafty Ginger at Backyard Market (Brick Lane)

Hi crafters! How are you all doing? The last few weeks have been so incredibly busy (and fun)!! If you follow me on Instagram you've probably seen my latest pics as a crafts trader... at Backyard Market. I'm sooooo excited! This new adventure started in the most ramdom way possible.

Too many WIPs?

I've suddenly realised I have more WIPs (works in progress) than I thought! It all happened when I was tidying up at home. Every time I found a WIP I would carefully take it to my studio and put it on my coffee table to sort out later. I was really shocked when I found myself making …

DIY: Crochet Stitch Markers

If you've read my previous posts about my amugurumi bear and lamb, you'll know that I was using a contrasting piece of thread as a stitch marker. I didn't want to buy the first I bumped into and couldn't seem to find any to fall in love with. It wasn't until the Knitting and Stitching …

My to-do list

  This week I've been glued to my laptop and iPad going through loads of wonderful blogs, so I haven't done as much crochet as I would've loved. It's as if I needed to absorb as many crafty and amazing things as possible... I've been hungry for beautiful things! I've been downloading patterns and exciting …

Customised stool: crochet cover

Crochet Heart Pillow ♥

I'm soooooooooo in love with my new crochet heart pillow!! It's lovely to create crochet stuff, but something crocheted AND squeezable is even better 🙂 I used Monica's beautiful pattern & tutorial on her blog http://www.monmakesthings.com. Her pictures are great and her instructions easy to follow. One tip I will give you is to read all her notes before …

Welcome to my crafty studio

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! I finally found a bit of time to tidy up my studio so it was a great opportunity to take some pics. (It's usually a mess as I get carried away and multitask from project to project without much time to put anything back in its place...). …

My first amigurumi

This beautiful amigurumi bear has been on my to-do list for quite a while now. I don't really know the reason why, but I always thought it would be challenging. I'm thrilled I finally built up the courage to give it a go! It's such a lovely project 🙂 The pattern from Toft Alpaca Shop …
