A Happy Hooker, Indeed.

Sharing what is on my hook with Chrissie Crafts and crochetboulevard...

Currently working on Valentine's Day decorations...

Table runner ...

I am totally in love with the popcorn stitch.  I love how much depth it adds. But it is a yarn-eater!!

Mandala...this is from Simply Crochet, issue 11...same pattern as my winter mandala

Bunting ...

Hearts...to add to bunting, to string along windows to hang off anything that doesn't move!

Pom-pom trimmed ribbon.  I found this from a Christmas clearance sale.  .10 cents for 100 yards.
 What is not decorated with hearts, will be trimmed with this ribbon or in the case of this jar, both!

I attempted my own mandala pattern which didn't work out so well.  It turned out very ruffley.  I am currently ripping out the last 6 rows and am going to try again, and probably again until I get it figured out.

Lavendar filled sachets for friends and teachers.  I love this pattern from bunny mummy...
she has so many cute, easy to follow tutorials!


Also still working on my Vintage Ann blanket.  Up to 97 squares as of this morning.  
I am taking my time and adding a square as inspiration strikes. 
I am so enjoying adding  every random square

  1. So many lovely crochet hearts. I used this pattern - http://sandra-cherryheart.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/granny-heart-tutorial.html to make some bunting - just in case you need any more! :)
