Sunny Days Ahead

It’s been a busy week here at Something Crafted HQ, despite numerous opportunities to distract myself with the garden, watering and getting my allotment underway for the season, not to mention a lot of crocheting, I’m finally focussing on getting all my spring and summer range in my Etsy Shop and online just in time for summer.

I’ve got buckets to choose from (see what I did there!) with my new Campfire Crochet Bucket Hat, created in luminous and teal 100% recycled yarn, with any number of colour combinations to choose from – just pick your two colours in the Etsy shop and let me know at time of ordering and I will make this up for you. There’s an average of three-week lead in time for bespoke pieces, but I can let you know when I hear from you.

I’ve also been road testing my Day Trip Bag featured above, which I’m pleased to say has passed with flying colours! Made up of over 180 meters of 100% recycled cord, it comes complete with a sunflower key ring and is available through my Etsy Shop. I’m also creating a one-off Granny Square Bag – literally one of a kind never to be seen again – so keep checking by so you don’t miss it!

I’ve been enjoying getting to grips with bringing my items to life through animation, and you can see all my current items on my Etsy Shop, including examples of previous Pastel Pets I’ve drawn. If you’re interested in a commission to capture your beloved pet in pastel, or in any of the wild animals I’ve drawn, do get in touch using the enquiry form.

Watch out for posts on Insta and Facebook, including a new silver earring range of crochet pieces coming soon.

I would love to hear from you. Thanks for stopping by,

Anne-Louise
