After making a cactus for the animated film, I thought it might be nice to make some variations for sale. This is the first one so far. I plan on using all sorts of tiny pots that I have accumulated, so the sizes should alter as well.
The flower is made from looped embroidery silk and sewn on the top.
I had a go at crocheting a snowflake from a pattern in the Christmas edition of Making magazine. The photo does not do it justice - I am very pleased with the way this looks, especially after using fabric stiffener. I can imagine several of these hanging on a mobile and twirling in the air.
Iam just about drying out after a morning trip to Alton and the craft/farmers' market. It was pouring with rain so we didn't want to browse for too long, just bought various local made cheese, venison and vegetables. I couldn't leave without visiting my new favourite yarn store. This beautiful Lima alpaca/wool mix yarn is being sold for £2 a ball, and the larger teal balls were £3 each. I have no idea what will be made with them, but just had to have some! It's a serious addiction y'know...

Love the cactus and the snowflake. Funny how ideas are in the air. I downloaded a pattern for snowflakes to make a garland. LOL Great yarn. I am so jealous. No decent yarn shops in Cambridge. xoxo
