Eggcellent Easter Projects

What a busy week - it felt like I spent more time at work than at home! To keep my creative sanity I decided to start making these cute little Easter eggs.

I found these cute little egg cups at Lazy Monkey in the Star Court Arcade Lismore yesterday and I knew they would be perfect for my egg display! 
As you can see I have made a few eggs this week! I used two patterns for these eggs The plain egg pattern can be found here and the patterned egg here.


I also started making these adorable egg cozies.

What have you made this week?

A Rainy Weeked

A rainy and quiet weekend ....finally time to design my blog! I decided to finally start a long awaited project  while DH was sitting watching the football!
This week both dogs escaped from the front gate - Moo just because I hadn't said hello to her  yet & Roxy because I trusted her to stay in the front yard with me - big mistake. She had fun being chased by both of us and we must have looked a sight chasing her around the estate! Roxy came home with big smiles and cranky parents!
In my creative space this week has been a big week of finishing projects. I finally finished my circle-y granny square blanket that I started in Cobar last year. The layout was created organically as I went along (and dependent on the wool I had at the time!!!) and the Circle-y Granny was courtesy of Jodie at Jellywares in Cobar.
I also finished this beautiful ruffled scarf I found in the last issue of the Creative Knitting newsletter. Click here for a link to the pattern. I used Rowan by Amy Butler organic wool/cotton blend in Robins egg to complete this project. I even had a chance to wear it as the weather turned a little cold on the way to the markets today!

This week I even had a few moments to celebrate my Irish heritage by planting sweet peas on St Pat's Day and whipping up these cute little shamrocks.

Until next time stay safe and happy crafting!
