My creative space

So what have I been up to this week?

Well, I have finished three brooches:

Hello Kitty

Space Invaders

Oooops...

Still have to finish the merino cuffs with skulls...

...and the new ones with a frill. I really like this new pattern!

And I’m working on a beanie, made of my hand-dyed cotton

Ooops, too late...

For a long time I’ve been planning to join My creative space.

A website where crafters show what they are working on every Thursday.
I like it!

This morning I took some photos but I didn’t have time to blog them.
I sat down to do it tonight and... ooops... it was to late...
The collection had already closed...

Next Thursday I will get up earlier in the morning. Today I create my own

My creative space

I’m working on an embroidered Hello Kitty
that I will turn into a brooch

I’m knitting another ring. There will be heaps of them at the next market!
Thanks MiA for the tip and thanks Sofia for sharing the idea!

And I’m knitting yet another pair of cuffs. They look really boring so far, I know,
but they will get a frill at the end that will be finished with golden beads. Cute!

These WIPs will be finished and for sale at the next market
Devonport Craft Market

Price reduced

Like my hand-dyed cotton yarn?
Well, now you might like it even more.
I have reduced the price to $13 a ball.
Soft, hand-dyed 100% cotton, suitable for knitting,
crochet, tapestry, tatting, quilt decorations...
you name it!

Golden skulls

Well, the space invaders went down really well,
so I decided to continue exploring some new patterns.

Golden skulls

And I reused this Inca-inspired pattern,
that I knitted many (oh, so many...) years ago.

Space invaders

I love space invaders!

So I came up with the idea to bead-knit them on cuffs.
Pretty cool, eh!

Black merino cuffs with silver beads

Another one soon to be finished


I’m doing a market in Royal Oak tomorrow.
I have heard that it’s a great market with a wonderful atmosphere
so I’m really excited!

I have finished some new products for the market and yes,
the space invaders are coming along as well!


Black merino cuffs with silver beads

Black merino cuffs with golden sparkly beads

Black merino cuffs with turqoise sparkly beads

And some new pretty flowers on hair clips and hair ties,
made of my hand-dyed cotton yarn


I have also made a treat for myself.
A bright, funky flower brooch for my hot pink coat!

Art on Felt

Some art that I’ve made is now for sale in my Felt shop.

Protect me

(Love in maori)

Now on Felt

I’m so excited – I have finally started up my own shop on Felt!

Never heard of Felt? It’s a brilliant web shop where NZ crafters
and designers can list their products. So if you’re looking for a cool,
handmade gift or treat – this is the place to go!

So far there is yarn and brooches for sale in my shop,
but more to come. Stay tuned!
