Watercolours, Digital Art, Quilt, Hippo

Digital image created on my android tablet.
My granddaughter liked playing with it.

My daughter-in-law is expecting a baby so I made a hippo. I'm afraid my crocheting is not very neat although I think the yarn was a bit thinner than the one recommended so that may not have helped.


I've also made a floor quilt/play mat out of some Spoonflower swatches

Day 6 Key

Day 7 Modern - 
I decided to do another key but the modern kind that you don't have to stick in the lock or ignition of a car.

Crochet and Racoons

Another attempt at crochet, a jacket for baby. 
I used multi coloured yarn and followed a video on you tube.

More drawing practice.

Crochet Bunny

 I finished the little bunny, it's not the neatest crochet you will have seen but I am pleased because I managed to follow a pattern. Well almost. I put the head on the wrong way round. The instructions for full completion were not all together so I missed something. I had read it previously but then forgotten it at a crucial time. Still I don't suppose the baby will notice. I got the pattern from the book Edward's Menagerie by Kerry Lord.

Crochet and Drawings

 I decided to take up crochet recently. I have done crochet years ago when I made lots of granny squares for a blanket but I've never followed a pattern before. I'm making a toy bunny for my expected Grandchild in May. I'm thinking maybe I should have made something straight/easier because there is lots of adding stitches and reducing stitches and some bits are small and fiddly. The yellow yarn is old yarn I had been practicing on. You wouldn't believe the number of times I had to undo it and start again but I think I've got the hang of it now. Basically I just wasn't reading correctly what was on the page.
