It's Handmade Monday again - yay! Many thanks as always to Wendy at
1st Unique Gifts for hosting this. Do please visit her and the other crafters' links - there are some lovely things!
This week, it's been the usual mix of personalised gifts...
 |
| Personalised Photo Frames |
... baby castings....
 |
| A teeny, weeny hand cast! |
... and, of course, knitted bunnies!
 |
| Work in progress... |
 |
| Bunny Nuggets - new colours! |
The one on the right is about the same colour as my son! We all spent all day Saturday out in the sunshine at Clumber Park (near Chesterfield) where we met up with some relatives and had a great time - but didn't realise how strong the sun was :(
Next on my knitting list (apart from lots more Bunny Nuggets) is this Sock Monster!
 |
| Sock Monster by Danger Crafts |
He's been designed by the same lady who designed the Bunnies, and when my son saw this he literally begged me to make him one - he even wants one instead of an easter egg (that really shows how much he wants it!!) The pattern for these, and lots more cute knitted toys is available to buy from Rebecca Danger's
Etsy store.
This week I've also done my bit by ordering a custom item from
Made by Emma. She is a lovely local lady, who is making a personalised cushion for me, for my parents' Ruby Anniversary - I'm looking forward to seeing it!
Last but not least, here's the knitted chicken that didn't make it into last week's blog:
I'm not 100% happy with the beak, but as a first attempt it's ok - I will probably tweak the pattern to suit me next time!
See you next week, if not before :)
Love the sock monster! The chicken is really adorable too, I love her legs, they look floppy. Awful cute! :)
ReplyDeleteAw. I just love your chicken beak an all. Love the colours. We got caught out on my daugthers Wedding day with the weather in April. It was a beautiful day and the reception was at a castle and in the grounds. Course everyone was outside in their wedding finery and didn't give a thought to the sun apart from sunglasses. We all got sunburnt. I had a heart shape top on so had the shape in red on my chest and hubby had a very red head and nose.!!

Really like the colours of your bunnies, they are soooo cute. Knitting is not something I've attempted but sock monkeys I can do, they are so adorable.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very useful site for me to make the baby gift. From this site, I have got some new idea how make the baby gift. Gift giving does not have to be difficult. With just a little planning, you will be able to find a great gift for everyone on your list. Thanks a lot....
Thanks everyone for your comments - looks like I will have to make a few sock monsters and see if they sell! ;-) Thanks also for the chicken feedback. Another one is in progress...
