One of my favourite film franchises is Despicable Me, I mean who doesn’t love the minions! I made a ton of these for a craft fair and they sold out so quickly. I love how the filmmakers have given them all such different personalities and I think that’s what makes them so popular. There are now so many variations with the Minions films that I think I need to start making some different ones, like the cave minions, vampire minions etc. so much to make and so little time lol!

I used to go to a regular halloween costume party. The first one I dressed up as Trinity from The Matrix, but for the second one I went as the bride of Frankenstein. I thought it would be even more fun if I took a knitted version of my ‘hubby’ that I’d made myself. It was a really complicated pattern but I was very pleased with how it turned out 🎃

Normally I post about crochet, but I thought I’d put something a little different.

One Christmas I was given a book of knitted zombie patterns, they were so cool you could even make the body parts detachable! You could also mix and match different parts from the patterns so there was so much you could make!

I started making one straight away and was so happy with the results! 😊 I gave him removable clothes, detachable body parts and even a removable heart ♥️

During lockdown when I was on a rota between working and being on furlough I decided to do something nice and productive with my time so I started making a granny square blanket. All of the squares are made, I just need to join a couple more rows and then add the edging.

A few years ago I decided to crochet Christmas presents for some of my friends.

My best friend Winter absolutely loves BB8 and while I could find patterns for some Star Wars characters, one wasn’t available for him at that time.

It took a few attempts to work out the correct sizing and how to do the side panels on his body, but I was very pleased with how he turned out. Winter keeps him in pride of place in her living room which makes me smile every time I visit 😊❤️

Along with meeting the awesome Drake from Aliens @markrolstonofficial I was also lucky enough to meet the fabulous Vasquez played by Jenette Goldstein! Of course I made her a mini Vasquez 😊

One of my favourite movies is How to Train Your Dragon and anyone who’s watched it can’t help but to fall in love with Toothless.

A friend commissioned me to make a crochet Toothless for his girlfriend, it was quite a tricky one which taught me lots of new stitches and techniques. I was very happy with how he turned out and really need to make one for myself someday 😊 xx

I know it’s been a long time since I posted anything, but I’m excited to get back into crafting again.

I’ve been suffering for a few years with a spinal injury which has made it difficult to do a lot of things, now that I’m starting hopefully on the road to recovery I want to get back into the things I love.

I thought I’d make my first post back a very special one. I was lucky enough to meet Mark Rolston at a convention and I made a doll of his character Drake from Aliens 😊

I’m working on a lovely pattern for a day of the dead inspired doll, here’s a quick progress pic.
