I have made a crochet cushion and mobile phone sleeve

I made a crochet cushion not with granny squares this time. This one has double and treble crochet and colour reds oranges and yellows. The back has striped cotton in complementary colouring.

I made this fluffy mobile phone sleeve and put a photo on Facebook. My daughter and her friend like it as I do so I am making a few more. I used Astrakhan crinkly red and fluffy coloured yarn together. It has a loop and button to close.

Making a crochet throw for my home.

I thought I'd make something for myself and it would be something for the home, home decor with a country ( I live in the countryside in a rural village) cosy feel. So I have started a crochet throw made with granny squares. You can see nearby the wool I have been using and I will adding more colours as I go.

Patchwork Shades of Blue Cushion.

I picked up a bundle of blue patterned cotton
squares in a charity shop and thought I'd make a patchwork cushion. I added a few from my own blue scrap material and cut them all to the same size.

I made this 18"x18" cushion with a soft plump polyester cushion pad.  I am pleased with it.  It will have a zip. I misplaced it when I took these photos then found it in the cushion!

 This patchwork blues cushion will soon be listed on Crafty Bags Folksy.

Beginning to sew it together.

A lacy knit collar and crochet socks

I have made a lacy collar with cream cotton yarn as lace is in fashion just now. I added this to the two lacy cushions already in Crafty Bags Folksy so I am quite ahead in fashion and home ha. The collar is retro vintage style fashionable in the 40s versitile easy to wash and transforms a simple top. dress or knit or can be worn alone as a beautiful, delicate necklass. I have now quite a varied selection of items and crafts as well as bags and adding to these all the time so be sure to pop back and take a look!

I just made my first pair of crochet socks. I like that they are not too thick or thin and are comfy I am keeping them for me. They are made with DK acrylic yarn. I may make a few to sell too.

Two crochet trim cushions

I just listed these two cushions in my Folksy shop Crafty Bags.

As the trend is lace in fashion and for pretty items for the home I thought I'd make these crochet lace trim cushions and I am very pleased with how they turned out though I say so myself.

The trim is worked on 272 crochet chain stitches and the pink one is a mix of 74% cotton and 26% linen the cream is 100% cotton.
