Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!

The craft room is still too chilly so I've stayed in the warm and kept busy with my crochet hook!
My copy of Lets Get Crafting popped through the letter box last week with some cute little pattern's in. Elli and Lou quickly commissioned a purse each.
The Owl is for Elli
and this cute pup is for Lou
I've been commissioned by Aiden for another puppy purse and I am trying to master granny squares as I need to make a bag for my growing stash of Crochet Hooks and wool!!! Before I go I've had some rather fabby news........ I have made onto the Design Team at Inspirational Card Sketches. I do hope you will come along and join the fun!!

The Crafty Cardmakers have asked for our "First, Latest & Greatest" for this weeks challenge!
Now I don't have any pictures of the first cards I made

This is the latest card I made and I must say one of my favourites. I'm not sure about my "Greatest" but here is another of my recent favourites.
