When Penny decides she's waited long enough for cuddles and crafting can wait. She uses her little nose to burrow her way into the chair beside me 🥰

So, as I've said this is a design by Shelly Husband for . I was so keen to get into making this design that I used some of the prepackaged 8 ply jumper amounts of yarn from I had that was stored and just shouting out for a project . Yes, it was double the weight the project asked for but the result looks amazing with so many outfits! I have already started the 2nd one with my specially ordered 4 ply BWM cotton yarn in pomegranit and I know it will be my go to to add a handmade touch to my outfits. I love the way the 2 different sized squares worked out! I can have the extra length over my torso while keeping my arms a little freer (great for crafter 😜) or I can keep my arms cosy and have somewhat of a crop look on the torso.

12 hours in and I have 8 arms and 2 legs (almost) complete. I have a feeling these dolls will be as cutes as I hoped they'd be. I love great designers!

2 boxes of the Scheepjes Catona (put into one of my favourite storage tubs) that is my go to yarn for most of my creations. I love its quality and the feel of it and buying it in this manner means I get a huge variety of colours in small amounts perfect for adding a little something extra to large amigurumi patterns or to make tiny things.

I had some great advice and tips freely given to me on the weekend by some very awesome supportive people! Here I am! I actually followed the advice! Yay me 🤣! I have even put it in a very convenient space so that it is always in mind and I can add any little extras my brain comes up with instead of having it circle around and around and around and around.... ok, you get the point... in my head overwhelming me.

Ugh... the mess....by the time this post is shared I'll have all of this put away and my lounge room and bedroom will be just that.....right? Yes, I am "manifesting" as my almost 19 year old says, it will be done! 😮‍💨 the downside of being a crafter 🤪

"Crafter's dont have mess, they have ideas lying around everywhere" 🫣🤫🤭

One thing I hear so often at markets is "oh I wish had grandkids" or "I wish the kids/grandkids were younger" when they see my items. Every time I tell them "you don't need kids to buy something that brings joy!" And then I tell them about my Harry Potter lego or the knit frog in a halter dress hugging my lamp while a crochet Neytiri watches over her 🤣

Aaaand we can breath... I spent the day planning my next year's worth of deadlines and getting a few yarns put in their homes and containers back in the garage (yes I am procrastinating on that part as the craft "mess" is a tad overwhelming but I've told myself the deadline is Friday to get it all done). I am now "having a break" by starting a few gifts for special birthdays coming up 🤣. I really do count myself lucky to have my "work" and "break" activities so closely align that work only feels like work every so often (particularly the late nights leading up to deadlines). A lifetime of creating is like a dream!
