Accessories

I took the plunge recently and started buying things from Ebay (I know, sometimes I'm a bit slow).  Buying safety eyes and whatnot from the craft store is ridiculously expensive in comparison.  Anyhoo, I bought some key chain doohickey's off Ebay to have a shot at doing some, you guessed it, key chains.  They could be bag charms too, whatever blows your hair back really.  I think they are pretty cute, the angel is my fave, she turned out better than I had hoped for!  She's also my first ami that I've ever put blushy cheeks on.  Here they are in no particular order, because blogger is annoying like that...

African Flower Owl Hotpad

I've had the idea for this floating around for a while and finally got around to it last week.  Hope you enjoy it, it works up very quickly!

The link for this colourful kitchen addition can be found here or on my patterns page.

Hooot HOOOOT!!

Little owls. I actually made the first few for my fabulous mum and sent them to her.  She has a bit of an owl fascination.

These critters were made from this pattern.  It was my first experience doing a stitch other than a single crochet into a single crochet. The base of these owls  requires that you single crochet into the back loop only (BLO).  It confused the hell out of me until I worked out that I just had to put the hook through one loop of the single crochet.  I think I even had to look it up.
