My creative space - Amigurumi hearts

Wow!! it's been a long time since I've been able to have any space to myself, let alone creative space!!

Actually, I tell a lie, I have been able to snatch a few moments here and there to make my grandmother a few hearts. I promised myself when I went to Chile last year to say goodbye to my auntie (who was very skilled at crochet), that I would learn how to crochet, and now, thanks to Youtube, I have.



When I was there in September, I gave my grandmother a sewn heart, that she sleeps with and prays with. It reminds her of her daughter. But it has seen so much attention that it needs a replacement, and after a few attempts at creating the perfect one, I finally feel confident in sending her this one.

I hope she likes it.


On another creative note, seeing as this in my first free day since last year, I am hoping to have a stab at making this short sleeve blouse....


These crafty people might get you inspired to make something today as well
