Busy Weekend

I've spent the weekend catching up with paperwork and completing my tax return for the year. I try to be good keeping up with paperwork and accounts but I'd much rather be doing my crafts and I  am all too easily distracted.

Thankfully the weather has been terrible with lots of rain so not really a weekend where I wanted to be out and about so I guess this has helped to focus my mind and get the dreaded accounts done, filed and out of the way.....and I feel sooooo much better for getting it all sorted.

Everything is now noted, recorded and filed where it should be and I can now get back to my crafts....yipeeee!!

This is my new pattern suitable for a baby girl...I've named it 'Isabella' and the set would be lovely for a winter home-coming outfit for a new baby girl. The set comprises of a little jacket, long trousers and a fur trimmed bonnet.

I have listed the outfit in my  Folksy Shop

If you would like to knit the outfit yourself you can find the pattern on my website: 

Tipeetoes.co.uk for baby knitting patterns or it can also be downloaded from Ravelry

Still Hooked on Blankets

My craze for crocheting baby blankets is still going strong.  I am hoping to have quite a few ready made for when we hit the winter months and everyone will be looking for soft and cosy blankets to wrap their little ones in.

I found this lovely pattern at the Red Heart website: blanket

I have quite a few balls of baby Aran yarn in my stash and thought this would be a lovely design to try.

My next blanket is going to be something completely different....... I'm going to make it smaller so it will be more suitable for a car seat or pushchair.
