Things I HAVE made, and am quite proud of, I have to say;)!

A classy nanna rug for my dear sister Catty! 

A tiny strawberry hat for a certain Clementine of whom we are soon to meet;)! 

Some common, garden variety peas in pods and the aforementioned revolutionary carrot! 

 A rather large strawberry and a bunch of grapes

Some plush pink bunny slippers (just like in the movies!) for a very lovely sister-in-law 

Some Easter treats for the lovely Hobart shop Ruby's Room! 

 Some severely visually impaired mice...

 I like the idea of 'food in hair'...

 A little turtle for my good friend Yoko!

A Dinosaur suit for my dear little nephew Fergusaurus!?

Mega and mini wedding cakes!

Things I'd LOVE to make one day:



And some fruit, for good measure!

spot the crochet...

crocheted savoury treats:P!

Of course, you need some savoury to balance out all the sweet...


REAL CAKES!!

Of course, I've had to do some research by making real cakes long the way...



let them eat cake!?

Soon I shared my cakes with the public at various markets about Hobart...



It was a simple formula of multipliCAKEtion!?

Soon, I was ravenous for crocheted cakes!

surely one thing led to anther, and cupcakes were popping up all over the place...

But how was I to proceed from a carrot??

And, as the days passed, I was happy with my carrot, but still wanted a little more... and so I created... a cupcake!


(In keeping the tradition I'd set for myself, a lot of my crocheting takes place in the car, hence the lovely Corona dashboard backdrop;)!)

It all began on one long bus trip...

[insert wavy lines across screen like in movies when people remember things here...] when I was convinced that a crochet carrot was the thing that was missing in my life. "Yes," my lovely sister and travel buddy at the time enthusiastically concurred, and that was that.
