What could be better than a pair of ruby slipppers at Christmas? I love this teeny pair of elfin shoes for many reasons. They were one of my very first designs for @insidecrochet way back in 2012, the photos were taken by my gorgeous friend @andreaellisonphoto and they remind me of happy days working in the wool shop! Whenever I see them I can't help feeling happy! Every year I post this photo and thank my lucky stars for @clairemontyknits encouragement when I began my crochet design adventure! Without Inside Crochet I would never have published my gorgeous books or had the confidence to call myself a crochet designer! So, thankyou everyone at Inside Crochet, and especially Claire, @rhiandrinkwater & @kathwebbercrochet for being the best editors to work for and producing a consistently beautiful magazine for so many years xxx You can find the pattern for free on @lovecrochetcom (there's a direct link in today's post on my website). #grannycoolchristmas #uncinetto #haaktechniekenbijbel #crochetgirlgang #crochetmakesmehappy #craftastherapy #myinsidecrochet #lovecrochet
One more photo of the cheeky mouse playing with grandma's stash yarn! We're leaving Grandma's today and I can't wait to get back to my own house and open days 2 - 6 of my advent calendar (silly me forgot to bring it)! Being here has reminded me that craft can be playful as well practical and that we're never to old to unleash our inner child! Now all I need to do is type up the mouse pattern and give them names... I am hopeless at names... #grannycoolchristmas #uncinetto #haaktechniekenbijbel #crochet #amigurumi #instacrochet
Cheeky coffee and toast to start the morning! Cockermouth friends will recognise this place - @sixandmoon does the best coffee - and it's the friendliest!!! No naughty mice today , just a festive snowman. I left the mice at home playing with grandma's knitted woolshop - yes that's right - knitted balls of wool ☃️⛄☃️ #notjustlakes #fuelledbycoffee #shopcockermouth #shoplocal #tastecumbria
Close up of this year's wreath. I''ve used @blackeryarns West Country Tweed this year, with oddments of red cotton for the berries. I've also made stars and wrapped it in fairy lights. I like to hang wreaths indoors and outdoors, this one is hanging in my kitchen. You can find the free Jolly Holly pattern on @lovecrochetcom this week #britishwool #grannycoolchristmas #crochetholly #handmadechristmas #choosewool #crochetmakesmehappy #lovecrochet
My cheeky mice have been making friends with the Christmas decorations! (New @gisela_graham felt mice bought from @thelindentreecockermouth , backdrop is pretty paper from @hummingbird_house_cockermouth ). #grannycoolchristmas #crochetmakesmehappy #amigurumi #handmadechristmas #kitschmas
Bauble wreath coming out of hibernation! This has always been one of my favourites, especially after it made the cover of @simplycrochetmag a couple of years ago! I was so excited I'm not ashamed to say I framed the cover & hung it on my wall! There are more photos and links to the pattern on my website today. #lovecrochet #simplycrochet #grannycoolchristmas #handmadechristmas #crochetbauble #crochetwreath
Today I have mostly been crocheting santa hats for my wee mouse family! Pattern coming soon - I'm just having too much fun making all their little outfits to fire up my laptop x ps he's made from #britishwool #crochet #amigurumi #crochetmouse #crocheting #crochetchristmas #grannycoolchristmas
