Bobbletastic








These are wonderful if you have those bobbles that don't keep hair up or tight then crochet round them it makes them stiffer so they hold all hair up...any bobbles will do my daughter love & there friends too. They take no time at all to make...





Matching flower just apply a grip to the back, this also makes the flowers detachable!











































These are so much fun!

Amigurumi frog

Isn't he just adorable. Mr froggy made for a friend for her birthday, I just had no idea what to get her but knew she loved frogs so I thought I'd give it a go not knowing whether it would work out or just flop... I was very very chuffed with it, it was a free pattern off ravelry.com another great site for you crochet addicts oh & knitting too....
