New hat with a Spring Theme

I thought I would have a go at making a hat for my little girl.
It turned out quite well apart from it was a bit big.
I used a butterfly at the top instead of a Pom Pom.

Win A Bespoke Piece of Jewellery

Win, Win, Win!!

I need a name for my new collection which is for Spring. I'm going to be making pretty flowers, butterfly's and bows in bright colours to cheer us up after the Winter blues. I will be using thin cotton, buttons and ribbon. Comment on my facebook status (pinned to the top of my page) with a name and my favourite will win a bespoke piece made by me :)

Artwork

Here are some canvases I have painted over the years. Thought I would share them :)

This is one I did with my little boy for his bedroom wall.

Girl acrylic painting for the spare bedroom.

Oil and acrylic painting. I used polyfiller to create texture although I'm sure there is some proper stuff you can use, it did the job!

Geisha Girl painting using acrylic and metalic poster paint.

First time experimenting with oil paints which you do not mix with water as I found out the hard way.

Flowers

Going to start making flower bouquets soon. This looks like a good site for patterns...http://www.squidoo.com/crochet-flower-patterns
