Determination was the key.....

And probably a very patient teacher....

A sleeping baby gave me a couple of quiet hours on Monday afternoon to sit down with Mum and learn the art of Crochet. Lucky my Mum is very, very patient! After lots of..... it just doesn't feel natural holding it that way...... and a couple of I hate it when I can't do things perfect the first time! I GOT IT! So how happy am I!!! Here is a little photo just for proof!



Ok so I won't be crocheting any little doilies for the stores anytime soon, those little puppies will continue to be made with lots of love by Mum (oh did I mention I have lots of new colours coming soon?). For now I will stick with lots of rows back and forward, might even make myself a little rug for snuggling on the couch!!

Looking forward to our next Brisbane Brown Owls catch up so that I can proudly say I can now crochet!!!

Happy Wednesday!

My First Brisbane Brown Owls Experience

I had a lovely time this morning attempting - I say that very loosely - to crochet! I am going to need a few more tutorials before I am crocheting beanies, doilies, blankets and maybe even these cute little stool covers...

I met some lovely ladies and am looking forward to the next Brown Owls Meet Up!

Brisbane Brown Owls!

I am very excited to now be a member of the Brisbane Brown Owls.

The Brisbane Brown Owls is a group of crafty ladies who meet once a month to learn a new craft! Some of the things on the list for this year are paper crafts, embroidery, crochet, knitting, ningyogami (Japanese paper dolls), macrame and basic applique just to name a few.

This Sunday will be my first meet up and Crochet is on agenda. Looking forward to meeting some new people and learing something new.
