New Display Heads and Some Feedback

My new additions for my display heads.

I got this one from the market for $10.00 today.

She 's a little grubby so I ripped her face of her head and I'll give her a good clean.

I think she looks trendy and she will be a good head model.

(does the nose look similar to that, of a very famous singer to you?)

Now I bought 3 polystyrene heads from spotlight yesterday for $13.50 each on special, originally $18.00.

Yes I know it's a bit pricey, how ever I needed display's for my stock, so the initial price may bring me some more sales when I go to the market.


I missed out on a stall for this Sunday, but I am making a phone call first thing in the morning for next Sunday, hope fully I'll get in as they were fully booked when I rang last time.


But I do believe I now have better display items for my stock to present well.



I also caught up with my sister-in-law today which was very exciting!

Why you may ask?

Well she gave me my very first $ order from a co-worker who has seen some of my designs. She wanted to buy the granny blues set, but guess what again?

I gave it away last week!

So now I have to make another and wing it because I make the designs up as I go along. Not to worry I'm half way through it already.

Robyn also gave me tons of new yarn too!

When I saw her today she was wearing a hat and neck warmer I made for her some time ago and it looked great!

I found it hard to believe that I actually made it.

It was a real confidence booster.

Cats Rocking Crochet Chair

This is my latest rocking chair.
The first one was similar to this one, but it did not have a cushioned back or the foot stool to match and it was uncomfortable.
My second one was an actual rocker recliner, that I took from my lounge room, but it took up too much room and every time I dropped my hook, I had to lift the chair up to find it.
Now this one I spotted today at the market, it rocks and has a foot stool which rocks as the stool rocks. It's a bit more comfy than the old one and matches my surrounding furniture.
I couldn't resist a picture on the back of the ute, which reminded me of the Beverly Hillbillies.


Just a funny picture of my daughter who falls down the stairs every other day.

Those Ice-cream cones and Cup Cakes

There are lots of these getting around at the moment.


It's just a matter of increasing in the round as you build the cone.


Make a final row of chains and sc to place the draw string into.


I made all of these in one evening.

I've added some cup cake purses

It's a better look for the base of the cup cake if it is done in fpdc and then a bpdc.
Below left, is a picture of a sc in the round cup cake base

Bullion Stitch Hat



This hat is made to match the bullion stitch neck warmer/scarf.


I will making another and will write the pattern once I make it.
