A Lil' Inspiration
Totally inspired by all the crafty ladies at the Around the Table conference, I decided to try my hand at crochet. Don't you just love youtube? I looked up a couple of lessons and made my first hat.

Then I got a book out from the library because I couldn't work out how to make granny squares and found out I'd been doing it all wrong - fingers and all! The hat still looked pretty good I think and it only took me a few hours (I've been a bit obsessed).
In my goodie bag from Around the Table, I got this cute little piece of
fabric. It screamed, "do something with me!". But what to do? I'm not
a quilter (yet), I'm not a sewer (yet) and I lacked inspiration. So
off I went to The Make Cafe. I relaxed, drank Peppermint Tea and
reveled in the soulful music, soaking it all up.

Eventually, I came up with a plan and hand-stitched my first cute little owl.

Spurred on by success, and a tendency towards OCD, I bought a couple of remnant fabric pieces and tried my hand at something a little more challenging.

I'm pretty stoked with my creations thanks to a lil' inspiration.

Ohhhh I love the insomniac owl especially. Great crochet job even if you were a bit cack handed lol. Did it make it hard to relearn the correct way to crochet?

Thanks. I'll check it out. It was funny but once my friend showed me how to do the fingers properly, I couldn't do it until I had finished the hat and started something else. As soon as I started the next thing, all the fingers just fell into place!
Well done you - they are cute! you'll be a sewer, quilter and crocheter in no time! - Thanks for linking in too - great to have you along :)
