Crochet and cricut

 Well two shower puff thingys made. I swear I have more of this cotton yarn somewhere in a blue colour, and black, but no idea where it’s been safely stashed. When I find it though I think wash cloths or some more of these will be made up. I’ve made a grand total of 3 of these altogether having made the first one a while ago. It’s a very easy addictive make. Very forgivable to if you lose count now and then.  
One was made on a 4 Mm hook and the other on a 5.5mm hook. Obviously the 4 Mm one is more condensed but until they’ve been used I’m not sure which one I will prefer. 

T-shirt wise I pressed the htv onto a black shirt for kiddo today. Am still chuckling over it. After knocking up my own Mercury symbol a lovely person let me know there are periodic symbols within Cricut Design Space! Could of grabbed one free as I’m on a months free access to there at the moment. Lesson learned though. Check the resources to hand to make life a little easier maybe. 

Kiddo is happy with this and I’m pretty sure he will be wearing this tomorrow for me to get a better picture in the daytime and on. 

Lovely daytime spent with my granddaughters today. They are off on holiday next week so this is the last day I get to spend in person with them for a bit. We ended up gluing sparkles, drawing and painting things today. A truly crafty day was had by all. 

Half term has flown by so fast, not sure how it’s got to Friday already but there you go. Relaxing weekend needed before Monday rolls around I think.

Bubbles, yarn and vinyl

The plan of working from my list of eight things is falling by the wayside a little. However, I am still using what I have and am being productive. 

Last night I started watching things on Netflix and decided to look through my yarn as fancied crocheting something. Came across this lovely dark pink cotton. Yet again another one of my shower poufs/loofah/scrubby things has fallen to bits leaving me with a long length of net so I decided to crochet up a cotton one that won’t unravel and won’t end up clogging up a landfill or being harmful to wildlife 
It’s coming along well. I’m a slow crocheter so I will carry on and finish this one tonight hopefully and if there’s enough yarn I will make another one up for someone else maybe. 
My younger son has a few jokey periodic table t shirts. So when I saw something similar to this on a mug I decided a shirt must be made and he was up for it. So this evening I designed this in Cricut design space and cut out the HTV vinyl, with my Cricut, ready to press onto the shirt tomorrow. I hope Freddie Mercury would approve ;-) 
Spent some time in the garden with kids and bubbles earlier on. Loving the colours in the garden and the enthusiasm everyone has for bubbles whatever age they are. 

Really has been a fairly busy fun day. Looking forward to seeing what fun tomorrow holds being the half term but might need a rest on Saturday.
