...random crochet flowers...

 ...have discovered I can crochet and breastfeed at the same time...I'm so not good at sitting still for that long without something to do with my hands (and don't really like watching TV much)... anyhow... if you can't tell I'm loving crocheting flowers... to the point where I've started using all kinds of random things... the necklace above is 6-strand embroidery thread/ cotton/ whatever you call it... the brooch below is twine that my mum bought to stake our cherry tomatoes with.... yeah, random...

...crochet cushion...

... crochet efforts completed in a collaborative effort with my mum... she had a good spot ay! Sunshine, coffee, conversation and sewing...

... learner crochet...

...can't claim to have made the hat (thanks aunty Jade!)... but this week I have bought a crochet hook and some random wool and taught myself to crochet from on old library copy of a Better Homes and Gardens Magazine and Pip's book again... kinda glad my photography is so shocking.... probably heaps stuff I'm doing wrong...lol... also lucked out in that I didn't realise until too late that you're supposed to match your hook size to wool ply... prob would've stopped before really started if I'd got those totally mismatched and it didn't work out on my first few attempts...
