Dinosaurs… Set 3!

June 30, 2011 @ 9:36 am · Filed under: Crochet, Patterns

I’m very excited to finally be able to publish what will (probably) be my final set of Dinosaur crochet patterns! I crocheted them before I left Canada, but problems with editing on my netbook meant that I couldn’t do the patterns justice, so I made the frustrating decition to wait for my stuff to arrive […]

(belated) 5th blogiversary

June 23, 2011 @ 11:29 am · Filed under: My Craft Business

Better late than never: my blogiversary was a over week ago and I’ve been so busy and unwell that I totally missed it! Still, I want to note this milestone: I can’t believe that I’ve been blogging for 5 years now. I owe so much to this blog; I wouldn’t have my crafty career without […]

After a very long 10 weeks of being without any of our stuff, the delivery team arrived yesterday with our shipping container!

…June the month, that is! I suppose all my posts are ‘June updates’, in a sense 🙂 I’m finding it hard to get my head around the fact that it’s autumn/winter here – switching hemispheres is quite disorienting! And the fact that flowers are still blooming, birds are mating, and most trees are still green […]

free pattern: plumeria flowers

June 1, 2011 @ 6:11 am · Filed under: Crochet, Patterns

This Plumeria is the first design that I’ve completed since my arrival in South Africa. I first encountered these beautiful flowers on holiday in Hawaii, so I was delighted to discover that they grow here too! Picking up fallen blossoms on my travels, I started to look at the intriguing spiral petal formation, and wondered […]
