 Hi everyone,



The years have flown.

I am back. I want to share my crafts that has been the highlight of the past few years. I sincerely hope you have all been strong through out the past 2 years. And I wish you all a very good upcoming holiday.


I have been working hard with the continuation of my favourite craft.

Please take a look at some of the things I have not published before. Also please not that my Etsy shop have been closed. Feel free to like some thing or inquire about the pattern.

Email me: diarra48@yahoo.com

 



The cutest hat, booties & toy set for new born babies.



I made this hand bag last summer. It is still my favourite and is currently being use regardless of the weather. I purchased the base and handles from an on- line supplier. It is really the second bag I've made for myself and I'm loving it.











This rag doll is my favourite. She's gorgeous. I think she looks like An Annabelle.

That's all for today.
I will be back soon. 
Thanks for dropping by.

Bunnies for Easter

Hello again, it's been a while. No excuse as I have been rather busy. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.
I have rather a lot to show this time but I will have to just do a few items for now. Later this week I will be
including a pattern for a baby blanket.
This is Ditsy, bunny No.1

I have only just finished this bunny, for some reason I just think that it helps me to think of Easter a little more.


Big Fat Bunny

This is Chen. By changing to a larger size hook, I managed to make this one much bigger than Ditsy. Both bunnies have a bushy tail and is stuffed with polyester toy filling. A very safe toy for a child.


Both toys will be for sale in my ety shop soon.

Next time I will be showing you my Big Fat hen, crocheted from a knit pattern. Any one interested in the knit to crochet pattern will be able to buy it from my etsy shop soon.
That's all folks, see you real soon.

Hello again,
I am going to show you some more of my newest creations, I am sure you will see something that makes you smile if nothing else. First up is my loopy design cardigan. A friend requested one so I bought a pattern, only I couldn't get the hang of it so I designed my own. It is so frustrating when you buy a pattern and you get tangled with the instructions.
This one is for sale if any one wants a bit of nostalgia.





Next is another baby cardigan that I designed. I enjoyed doing all these cuties.


Here I post a few more.
Thank you for looking and please leave me your comment.


Circles & squared Blanket

These skinny scarves packs loads of warmth & colour.


A snood, scarf, cowl or whichever way you wear this. it's going to keep the chill out.
Request the pattern for free here or make a dash to my Etsy store to purchase it.

Thanks folks!, See you soon.

Hey, guess who? only me, the ever so slow blogger. I just thought I'd quickly share some news with you.
Last Saturday, August 17th, I had my 2nd craft stall. I did well. The weather was not too great but I enjoyed the day. Some of my fellow craft mates might have seen or bought this Offset crochet pattern from Annie's Attic. 2 maybe 3 years ago I was drawn to this wonderful cardigan so I bought the pattern hoping to make it  for myself. When finished, I thought ...too good for me so I decided to try it at the stall last week. And I have to say it didn't sell but it drew a lot of attention. My warmest thanks to the designer. I would like to sell it on to some one but the cost of the materials was quite hefty. So sorry- not your 99p bargain. It took about 4 weeks to finish. Well worth it
I do hope to find a worthy owner.
Or I will have to put it back in it's cellophane pouch for safe keeping.








Some interesting sites I've visited

Donna's crochet corner

Hello again fellow crafters, bloggers and passers by. I have been so busy I had to put my blogging on hold. Not that I am any good at blogging but I do hope you all find something to look at.
I recently had my first craft stall at the local People's Day show. What a scorcher that was. Oh no, not my crafts. For once in a long time the weather exceeded my expectations. Every one in town was out. I didn't sell a lot but I was grateful for small mercies. Especially since I sold my first amigurumi toy.

I have a free make-up bag to give a way to the first viewer to drop me a line with the code word 'HOT'  Please remember to  let me have your details for postage.




Check out this month's post. Remember orders welcomed.

My stall as it was sent to be entered for People's Day and some of my recent summer crochet stuff.



This is a cute little girls summer hat.




I found this little purse in one of my on-line searches but I don't even remember where from.I thought it was a very interesting pattern and would dearly like to pass on my thanks to the designer. It was very well designed. I thought I was going to find it difficult but no- It was very well done.


My 2 little babies they are so adorable.

Here are the totoros I made for my stall, aren't they adorable?


If you see anything you like I will make it. email me or see my shop on Etsy

Hey my friends, Today is a happy day. It's my birthday and there is no cake because I haven't baked one.
I spent the day working on a new baby blanket instead. I hope I can finish it and add it to my next post. It's another granny square blanket but the colors are so delightful to look at. I might even get round to writing the pattern.

Now I shall invite everyone to take a look at some other stuff I've added to my etsy shop. Remember to visit  me at
WWW.etsy.com/ shop Zigger Stuff.

I chose Zigger Stuff because I make all kinds of things and there is no easy way out when I get going. I filter an idea and its on the hook straight away.

 Please take a look and leave a comment.
