Creative Granny: April 2013
http://creativegran.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 29 April 2013. My friend breeds dogs. One of the girls had eight babies, five girls and three boys, just over a week ago. When these babies are ready to go to new homes, they will need to be identified so that she knows which pup is which. When looking for something else I found some small metal buckles. so decided to crochet some little collars. Here's how they look:. Much better than painting puppies' toenails! Thursday, 25 April 2013. What I've been up to over the last two weeks. Each of the s...

Wednesday, 1 January 2014. Here's hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas. Here are a few pictures of my Christmas. I hang this on my door every Christmas. I bought it in Norway many years ago.

Creative Granny: February 2014
http://creativegran.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 1 February 2014. When we bought our house at the end of 2003, one of the bedrooms had the oddest décor. It was painted white, but all over the walls were circles of varying sizes in dark blue. Two of the circles were almost a metre across. This was the only picture we took of this room at the time we viewed the house. So now I have an attractive workroom, with a sewing desk and table, and lots of storage space for all my craft materials. I hung a lot of pictures, as I hate bare walls! Wildfood ...

Creative Granny: June 2013
http://creativegran.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 June 2013. Some years ago we planted a West Indian Lime tree, to accompany the lemon tree and the two orange trees that we have. This year, we had a fair crop of limes, and to my amazement, a crop of lemons on the same tree! I can only assume that the lime was grafted into a lemon stock, and the lemon sent out shoots. As the lemon tree has not a single fruit on it this year, these lemons are really welcome. This lime will soon be ready to pick. A couple of the lemons on the "lime" tree. I hav...

Creative Granny: August 2013
http://creativegran.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 August 2013. Baby blankets and orchids. I've been making baby blankets to sell at Talana Creations, and I am pleased with the result. They are big enough to use as a pram cover, or to wrap up a small baby. The blankets are made from fleece, with crochet edgings. This mauve blanket with butterflies is very pretty. I love the colours on the border of the green blanket: Cream, yellow, light green and a green that matches the fleece. It has six trusses of flowers. Thursday, 8 August 2013. Now for ...

Creative Granny: New Lampshade
http://creativegran.blogspot.com/2014/01/new-lampshade_8.html
Wednesday, 8 January 2014. I had this glass lampshade in my hall, and I really dislike it. So I decided to buy a plain shade, and trim it. This is what I bought, for only R40. Being a crochet fanatic, I decided to make a crochet cover. I used Vinnis Bamboo yarn in many colours. What a great way to use up the odd balls! This is the half-way stage. Finished at last, and fitted to the plain shade. You can clearly see the beaded tassels that I put on the triangles that I worked around the bottom of the shade.

Creative Granny: December 2013
http://creativegran.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 6 December 2013. I've not posted to my blog for quite some time, as I have been busy with markets. The first was Talana Creations in late October/early November, and I did very well there. I spent some time after that making crochet angels for the Christmas Tree at the Talana shop, as the ones I made for Creations all sold out. Tomorrow were are again sharing a table at the Lennox Farmers' Market, and we are inside their barn. These will all be in sale tomorrow, here's hoping it will be a good da...
