On annual leave from work instead of sick leave due to Fibromyalgia and autoimmune flare up. Even though I’m in a lot of pain, it warmed my lil heart to leave a couple of Octopus 🐙 out and about today when Jay took me for a cuppa as raising a smile in someone else for no other reason than kindness is good for the soul. When they decide to share their thanks that’s just 🥰

Jason bought me a handbag for Christmas- only condition was that I had to make it myself 🤪 Sooo, I only went and did it!! Bag kit from Was a great kit and the materials are quality. Only feedback is that the written pattern doesn’t reflect how to make it (FLO) instructions missing and so it is great they had a video!!

This project was gifted earlier this month and so posting now.
Used and a paid pattern by from but customised to my colour preference and gave him green cat eyes. Perfect remembrance kitty for a much loved boy that passed this year. Needless to say, it brings great comfort and was a thoughtful gift for my aunt 🥰

Literally just finished this little wicked witch from my crochet kit ☺️
Was meant to be a topsy turvy doll but I want Elphaba and Glinda side by side when they’re done ☺️also added emerald green eyes. I may have channeled my inner and sang when she was finished as working with black yarn is a nightmare. 🤣
Moving on to my next project but will be back to finish Glinda shortly ☺️
