Bright, colourful and ready for action!


A smiley train!!!

While the wheels do not turn, this would be a great toy for small hands! 

The load pictured is not included, so anything could be transported! 

The engine can be removed from the back carriage, should play require it!

Wombat... or Bear... or both?

Every now and then I experiment with patterns, colours, sizes. 
It doesn't always become a success story...
but this time, I was very happy!


Incredibly soft and cuddly!

Originally intended to be a wombat taken from a bear pattern - I have called it a wombear!

but this is also an available option for your blankie

I have not made a blankie like this one before

Lovely Lion

I took a break from lion blankies

their manes are more labour intensive than I had time for

but I now have them available again!


The perfect baby toy - bright and colourful!

A gorgeous shawl!

I do have quite a range of shawl patterns, but it is fun to make a pattern more than once!

Especially when you do it in different colours! 

I know, I've said it  before, but it is amazing to see how it comes out!

And here we have it again...

A few weeks back, I displayed a two-tone blue shawl

look at this!

Cutie duckie!


I have done this duckie before, but this one is special because it is made to the customer's specific requirements! A dress and a bow in her hair to match!


A real cutie!

A love gift

You may recall that in 2017 I made our son a HUGE wool blanket - one of those forever gifts - to never forget his Mummy's love...

Our daughter wasn't so keen on a woollen blanket, but decided a cotton shawl would be great!

So we found some lovely bright colours...

And a pattern that worked with with being random with those colours...

And here it is!!!

An amazing custom order

I like custom orders, and shawls certainly are different from toys.

I have recently acquired (thanks to my birthday) some books with shawl patterns, and I am looking forward to trying lots of them out!!!

A recent winner in one of my competitions decided she didn't need any toys, but a shawl for herself was perfect....

So after lots of ummmm-ing and ahhhhhh-ing...

She chose this pattern: 

I'm not big on tassels myself, but I think they made this shawl look gorgeous!


Here is a close up of the pattern and the harmony of the colours - beautiful!
