Grrrr

Am I the only one that loses their creative flare when life get's stressful? The past 2 weeks have officially been a nightmare & not once have I picked up my knitting needles! To be fair I did make a tape measure brooch, but that seemed to use up all my inspiration.

Also, having no internet sucks. Almost as much as having no internet & no TV, as I'm sure I'll find out this weekend. Look's like I'll be knitting, candle making & working on my costume all weekend!  Although, on a lighter subject, I am welcoming the new month with open arms. I love December. It means family, fun & love & also it's the month of my birthday & Christmas... woohoo! And this year it's finally my 21st. The big one. My very own Mad Hatter's Tea Party... at a night club... with a silent disco! Couldn't get more random if I tried.

Knitted Hearts

I found this adorable free pattern on the MochiMochiLand website (click picture for link) & had to give them a go! Still fairly new to knitting so decided to skip out the felting part. Here's my results:

Here's my first attempt... also taught myself to mattress stitch too, so the seems are lovely & neat. Seemed a little plain when I finished it though, so I added a cute heart-shaped button & some wool to hang it up with! 

After making that one, it was so quick & easy I wanted to male more. I had the idea of making them as Christmas decorations for my friends & family. I might even spray them with some festive scents!

Well it's Friday already! Where does the time go?!

I've had a rather unproductive week so far, since I'm a poorly bunny. Actually been reduced to wearing earmuffs 24hrs a day to stop my ears hurting! Stupid ears!

Anyway, enough with the grumpy stuff... I only have one FO project this week & that's my first heart. It was super easy & didn't take up too much concentration!

I will be making some Christmas themed ones over the next few days as little gifts...

Find the pattern here. It's another free pattern from the amazing MochiMochi Land.

My Lemon Drizzle Slice is also coming along nicely... just need to make it up now & decorate it! Roll on the weekend!
