pink, mainly

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The girls' have a new dressing table and in true girly-girl style, my girly girl wants to dress it in pink.  She'd like the entire room (that she shares with her not-as-girly sister) to contain more pink.  But, oh well.

I started things off for her with a doily.  Yes, a Grandma Twinkle Doily!

Following on from the pink theme, I crocheted a bit of edging for above-mentioned daughter.

And a couple of sweaters for a couple of tiny babies!

Twins?

I don't know how many teddy bear sweater patterns are out there but this was one I made up as I went along.  These teddy bears are about 30cm or 12 inches tall.  If you'd like a pattern, just let me know! 

Some other things I'm into:

Lovely "smelly" candles.  The Caramel Apple smells delicious and is my kids' favourite.  But the Evergreen one is mine!  

 

And more colourful crochet.

Recently, I was visiting one of my favourite blogs and saw this post. I followed a link, saw this

and thought, "I want to make those!" So I did.


I thought they'd be nice for the girls' room for 'Eid!

 
I made some squares and circles in more "boyish" colours.


Of course, the boys' room needs one too!


I just love blog-hopping and poring over lovely creations of others. Emma Lamb has these hanging beauties

and Sarah London has the Granny Star Garland.


And way back last year, Lucy was doing this flowery bunting!
