Frozen!

Good morning everyone, well what grey and dark days we are having. I'm having to continually have the lights on so I can see to do any crafting at all.
Today's make that I'm sharing with you is a crocheted hot water bottle cover that is a Christmas gift for a family member who is always Frozen ❄️❄️

This is the first time I've made one of these and although I am happy with it I'm going to make a few pattern changes to the next one I make. The pattern is bought one off Etsy and the pattern link can be found Here

Here's another image of the back of the bottle cover, I used orange buttons for the closure just to add a bit of a contrast.

My next cover is already underway, another present for another cold person. Using a pink colour palette for this one.

The wool I use is Stylecraft DK. I love how it works up, it has the most amazing range of colours, washes really well and also is really affordable.
I tend to do most of my crocheting in the evenings whilst watching the telly so today is housework and colouring up some more images towards my Christmas cards.

Hope everyone has a good week and thanks for reading.

First Christmas Card

Actually started making my Christmas cards at last. I always leave things to the last minute and end up rushing, so this is actually early for me.

The image I used is called 'Snow Queen' by Lili of the Valley and can be found as a digital image on their Etsy page
I coloured this image with Copics and used Stickles for the falling snow, the fur around the crown is white flowersoft. The card, papers, ribbon and gems are all from my stash and have had them for years.

Hope you like it. Now to crack on and make a few more. Have a good weekend everyone.
