My crafty formula

Someone, somewhere said "If you want to keep knitting, don't open a yarn store". I'm not complaining, but it can be like that. Well, maybe I'm complaining a little bit, actually no, not complaining just yearning. Yearning to work with the gorgeous yarns that surround me everyday *insert heavy sigh*.

This combined with lack of time, a propensity for procrastination and daydreaming does not make for a very productive crafty output. Quite frankly my current crafty formula stinks!

So when I opened my emails this morning and saw the latest edition of FREE magazine Petite Purls and the cutest wee little fairy girl on the front I gave myself a good talking to. I love sharing in My creative space each week and I've missed it, and I'm gonna fix that. That is all.

Little Kina

 

A Little kina and denim pinafore made to gift to a special little girl at her party last Saturday. The perfect size to fit a Waldorf 16" Doll. The party girl, and my Miss Sophie both have these dolls from our friend at Poppy, Bean and Bloss.  I think the party girl calls hers "Lucy" and ours is rather descriptively called "Girl".

Pattern: Little Kina (free pattern)
Yarn: MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino
Needles: 4.50mm circular
Ravelry details over here.

Petite Purls FREE magazine

Design by Cheezombie as featured in Petite Purls

Canberra's annual flower festival, Floriade kicked off this week so I'm absolutely delighted to have found these gorgeous tulips to make for the little ones. They come in the most delightful FREE online magazine . Hello did you hear me...FREE, FREE patterns...FREE!!!

Sometimes I think I can be a little slow on the uptake. I'm sure I must be the last person to have heard of Petite Purls. The latest issue is here and features an article on the top ten textile toy designers on the web, some great patterns for Waldorf dolls (even a swimsuit)and more FREE stuff than even I have hope of devouring!

There are also back issues for the last two years and some basic patterns for your squidgets.

I'm absolutely smitten!

Have a great day,

suzy xoxo
