Keep warm this winter

There is absolutely no need to freeze this winter, you can keep warm in style, it's easy, just look at this beautiful little fella, all rugged up in his gorgeous crocheted blanket, made with love from his two grandmas, mum, aunts and cousins, it was a family effort and I have to say it is simply stunning. I want one of these blankets for myself

I wouldn't mind one of these either, isn't she adorable, I just added her to this post cos she was so cute, look at those cheeks!

I love this owl, it is a heatbag, filled with australian wheat - perfect for your children to snuggle up to in winter, my kids have a frog that I made them a couple of years ago filled with rice. Unfortunately they are developing holes and the rice is starting to spill, time for a new one I think. Yes !

Mst O would love this cute little sausage dog - perfect gift for a boy who has everything - available here on Madeit.com.au

An exquisite scarf/shawl crocheted with the most gorgeous baby alpaca wool and mulberry silk, tutorial is here - you can make it yourself Or something a bit more understated in beautiful earthy tones - same pattern as above but different colours.

I think my daughter would like this little pink poodle number, available here

Aaaaahhhh winter, I do love it, except when I have to get up at 6am in the dark.

Giveaway Prize

I did my first giveaway recently and Helena was the winner. I initially offered the prize of a scarf. Then I decided to make it a "winners choice" of anything in the shop. So Helena has made her choice and this is what will be coming her way. I hope you enjoy the dress Helena, congratulations. Keep checking in on my blog as I will be doing another giveaway in the near future. The prize will be something made from my new stash of Japanese cottons from my recent trip to Asia. STAY TUNED TO BE A WINNER !!!!!

I don't want to sell this one!!

Here is my gorgeous Lucy in my latest creation

I particularly love the crocheted flower !

The broderie anglaise trim is also quite lovely.

Not sure if I want to list this one in the shop in case it sells. hmmmm.
