What Have You All Made Recently?

[cloudpuff]

Title says it all really.
Tell me about the lovely things you have been making,any craft. Pictures/Ravelry links would be great.
I like to crochet but I've found myself in a bit of a rut and want to be inspired and find some motivation to make something, even if its a totally different craft.

Share away.

Oooh, I love this thread. I have been making lots of toys for dd and necklaces and bracelets and filling my sketchbooks with ideas of things to make when I have more time.

And I've also been trying out lots of new vegan recipes, tonight we made vegan pizza and it was yum.

I have just crocheted a poo for DS2!

Any particular reason soupy?

He asked me to. Although he was, apparently, joking.

Now did you use a pattern or just free style it?

Rather bizarrely... A pattern! there were many to choose from :o

Mr Poo

I'm not sure just how low my crafting level can fall after this!

That is a very cute poo

Omg I love it! Where's the pattern?!?!

It's sitting on a loo isn't it?!?

.

yes, it is sitting on a toilet. :o

the pattern was from here

Nice poo soupy.

Love your quilt Sybil. I am venturing into quiltmaking, and attempting to make my first ever quilt. So far I have cut out 500 squares out of a total of 725 that I will need to make the quilt. Am I mad that my first attempt is for a double bed?

Yesterday I made myself a tunic top, but to be honest I'm not sure I like the fabric, what do others think? It is a bit washed out and like 80s bed sheets isn't it? I hate it when that happens, when you think you've chosen a lovely fabric and it just doesn't work

I like both the fabrics.... But I don't like them together. To be fair, I don't like it when Boden do it either so you're in good company :o

Doesn't remind me of bedlinen though! I'm impressed.

Yeah Soupy, maybe it is the combined effect of both fabrics that troubles me.

So what is your DS going to do with his poo?

A Maypole themed cake topper is the latest thing I've made, took absolute ages but was really fun to do!

Starting work now on another cake topper for a lady who is turning 40 and loves pink and lots of bling. Polymer clay is brilliant as cake deco as you get to keep the topper as a keepsake/memento once all the yummy stuff's been eaten!

Soup - I've done a poo too!!!!!

Picture here - DH has already ordered one for work

"Soup - I've done a poo too!!!!!"

Oh god.... It's ike potty training all over again :o

Sadly I can't find a potty pattern. But I did look.

Hmm. Not sure I'm going to be knitting/crocheting poos any time soon - DS has just looked at it and gone "Bleugh, I don't want a poo toy mummy". I have reassured him.

My latest creations are pipecleaner spiders with woolly bobble bodies and heads and googly eyes. We have a family of them, and I even made a fly. I should take a photo and put it on my profile.

I am also in the process of creating a pattern for a dragon - I did look on the internet but couldn't find one that really did it for me, so I'm having a go at making my own. Who knows how that will turn out! especially as I'm using stretchy shiny material...

I have this dragon on my To Do list. I am just waiting for the right sock!

That's a very nice dragon, Soupy!

I've just finished an embroidered picture for my neighbours great grand daughter.

Now to finish some tea cosies, cushion covers, garden seat pads.........

I had a nice long post all typed on the train and my stupid phone crashed...

I love the dragon - given the plague of odd socks in our household it has to be possible to find the right ones (only of course their long-lost partners will then promptly turn up ).

toomuchpizza - another madebyrae fan here. I have made loads of variations on the licketysplit - including 3/4 size ones for small girls and the dragon one for DS which is on my profile - and one buttercup (again 3/4 sized) - have now been slightly distracted by the bag makers bible - DD got a bonus 3/4 sized bucket bag which was intended for someone else because I messed it up and had to undo and resew a load of it and that shows (not that DD knows that is why she has it - she thinks it is just because she admired it and I am a lovely Mummy ).

on my to do list right now are - 2 bucket bags for presents (one done), pencil case for DS (with dragon, to match bag), and 15 aprons for DD's party - anyone got a perfect (and really simple) pattern for a child's apron [hopeful]?
