Firstly, I want to apologise for missing the last three posts. The scavenger hunt, combined with building up stock for sale, and a few presents left me so breathless it completely escaped me. All the more reason to get a buffer back up I guess. I've got a few cute things I'm dying to share, but can't because they are for a swap, and a new design I'm working on that is almost done - I hope to share that with you later this week.


So, this is one of the things I've been getting up to while MIA - a cute owl phone case based on my own phone cozy. I'm not that big on owls personally, but I still think it looks cute. Perhaps if it sells well I will make more - oooh, maybe a dragon one!

And to make up for being missing... (thanks to QuirkieCraft who stole it from someone in turn)

Who's down for paying it forward craft style?

Yes, another Noro project - the last of my skein was exactly the perfect amount to make a funky cover for my phone. The crocodile stitch is extra thick and cushy, so it's good protection for when I drop my phone.

I didn't really use a pattern, just chained 28 and mostly followed the stitch instructions from this purse - I handsewed the bottom closed when I was done.

My niece loves ladybugs, so for her birthday I made her this cute scarf and phone cozy set. I had already started on the scarf (from this pattern) when I found out she was getting a mobile phone for her birthday from her parents, so I made up the cozy to go with it.

I made that cozy the night before her party. Ok, so I'm a little smug here, but she loved it, and has been taking it to school everyday with her phone in it, so clearly she is not embarassed by it, and that's the best praise you can get from a high school girl right?
