Crafting Corner (4)

Crafting Corner is a feature by Sarah @ Feeling Fictional

I've been quite busy crafting this month!  I finished the blanket for my friend I spoke about last month and crocheted a frog for my aunt.

I fell in love with the frog and named him Herbert.  My aunt loved him so that made up for having to give him away!

I used Crocheted Wild Animals by Vanessa Mooncie for the pattern - it's a great book and I'm looking forward to making more of the animals - there are so many designs I love!

Although I did treat myself to this book:

and I am dying to make the turtle - he is sooooooo cute!  There is a Zoomigurumi website too which you can check out here.  There have so many awesome patterns (and some are free!)

I'm really excited to take part in Sarah's feature - I have recently discovered crochet and needle felting and love it!  I've been really enjoying it and I love that I can watch TV while doing it (TV shows on DVD are my other addiction!) - although I wouldn't recommend not paying attention when needle felting because those needles hurt if you miss your target!

So crochet wise I have been making quite a few blankets and toys.  Any of you who already follow me on Instagram have probably already seen these but this is some of what I've been up to...

And I've only been needle felting for a few weeks but it is so addictive!  I've spent hours looking at other peoples work and there are some AMAZING creations out there - if I could make anything even a tenth as good I'd be pleased!  If you want to see what I mean check out Sarafina Fiber Art!

Anyway these are my current needle felting creations...

So hopefully by next month I'll have some new bits and pieces to show you.  I have a couple of bits I'm working on so hopefully they'll be ready.
