Hello anyone who is reading this!
I have to say, life has been busy and while I have been keeping up with my
Facebook and got myself an Instagram account (@kittyskraftycorner), I have managed to neglect this blog. I don't think there is much interest in my blog or even my craft for that matter, but I do enjoy putting what I do out there for people to see in the hope someone will like it as much as me. I know I'm small time and I accept that. I don't have endless hours of time to invest in doing this stuff...some days I am lucky to sit down and get a few rows of crochet done. I still would love a like every once and a while though, doesn't everyone?

Star doilies |
Things have been pretty slow in my little crafting corner. I have had days that linked up to weeks without any crochet at all. I have managed to hammer out some lovely things that I wanted to make, like these doilies to the left. I joined a few CAL's (Crochet A-Long) and even though I had great intentions, I am still trying to finish two of them...granted, they are both blankets. I have set myself a challenge to get one of my blankets finished in two weeks...it needs to be finished!! The finish line is in sight! I have at this moment 24 rows left to do and the border. I will try and remember to do a post on the blanket once it is complete. Since it was done wk by wk, I have progress photos. Its been a great experience to learn new stitches and do different patterns. I hold no regret participating in any of the CAL's I have done, I just wish I had more time to do more!!
This would have to be one of my favorite creations I have done since March. My son simply loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...can you guess who is his favorite? He was tucking his weapons in the back of his shirt but they kept falling out, much to his frustration. So I whipped up this belt, every decision approved by the man himself and this was the result. There is no pattern for this and the letter 'R' was completely free hand I doubt I could re-create it if I tried.
I do believe it needs a bit of tweaking. While he loves it, he has trouble getting his arms around to get the weapons that sit on his back. The trick at the moment is actually finding the belt to do fix it because goodness knows where it is right now.
Well, that's all from me. Please take the time to like or comment on my work kindly, it always makes my day.
Thanks for reading!
