It's all crochet at the moment. It's just too cold to leave the room which has the fire in and I don't really want to bring the sewing machine, and all the associated paraphanelia, into the lounge!
Brown and pistachio Mary Jane slippers from here - I've reworked one and I'm happy with it just have to finish the second one
Bag of odds and ends that were used for making this blanket
Bag of purple and pink yarn originally used to make a blanket for Cassia and I've a few ideas for the leftovers
Green hexagons - I started this in the UK and love it but I bought new yarn, albeit on special for 100% merino, for it and when I worked out what it would cost to make a cot size blanket, let alone a single size like I originally intended, I decided to make it into a bag - obviously this happend yet but the thrifted handles might be called into action soon
Some new heart patterns I've been playing with and a shockingly bright yellow doily! Please excuse the colour it was the thinnest cotton I had, from a bag of thrifted cottons, and having never made a doily before I thought I would try with this first
The grey and blue yarn is making some crochet slippers for Cassia
A stripy neck warmer for Cassia
and finally, and probably most importantly a book and a pen - I always think I'll remember what I've done but of course I don't so I'm going to try to write things down so that I don't have to re-work it all out when I crochet the second or subsequent items!
And, surprisingly, all this fits into this bag (a recent and very wonderful thrift find):
which is pretty lucky because we're heading to the beach today for a couple of days so it's all ready to go! Hope you all have a lovely weekend. x To see other creative spaces click here.

all the crochet looks lovely! something I haven't mastered yet...
A very snug looking creative space :D
Wow, love your creative space. Gorgeous yarn and lovely crotchet.
love the little crocheted heart- very sweet - thanks for sharing!
Beautiful crochet! the carrier looks like a good idea - I might have to try that, as my crochet is all over the floor next to my chair in the living room at the moment!
I love yr space this week and very colourful
I love the little crocheted hearts too and cant wait to learn to make them. Great find too, the thrifted storage place for all of your crafty stuff. It all fits perfectly.
Your crochet hexagons are fabulous.
Wow - serious crochet envy going on here! Love it all! K
How delicious, I would love to come and rifle through all of your crochet. Those mary-jane slippers are heavenly - I bet cups of tea taste even better when your feet are snuggled so happily.
oh yes - keeping warm is a must :)
So much yarn goodness in such a compact bag. I too love the look of your crochet hexes... but can understand why you don't plan to make a whole blanket!
Gorgeous crochet. I love all the hexagons. Your carrier was a great find.
Great thrifty find! I have never seen one of these at an op-shop, but I will be keeping my eye out for one as it would be perfect for sitting next to the coffee table! :)
wow, your crochet is really gorgeous. love the MJ's and the hexagons are fantastic
