Living in a rental with only these 'lovely' blinds at the windows,
I've eventually got around to making some bunting for Miss 10 to brighten them up a bit! (Miss 5's is here) *the old cassette tape fabric was a large unopened hanky from the op shop.
Each triangle is different, mainly vintage fabric.
(so hard to photograph when its rainy and dark)
Then I kept cutting triangles, very random ones though!
And got the 5 inch needle out to make a circle cushion.
(last time I made these was way back here!)
*warning - if you make one, they take ALOT of stuffing!
I also recovered a little rectangle cushion.
So the bunting and the cushions are actually for Christmas -
she'll have to wait till then! (I'll set them up in her room while shes opening her pressies!)
While taking these shots - I found that someone has been having a go
at some teen tiny crochet. (with one of my hooks!)
She is managing to follow a crochet books instructions,
whilst also adding her own ideas to things.
It looks much more comfy with the bunting up,
can't wait till she see's it!
More creative spaces here.

Your daughters crochet is amazing! My Miss 10 is still harping on for me to teach her... must do it...
I think your girl is a budding crafty genius, a little like her mum I'd say! Sadly our dud computer is on the go slow again so I can only see bits & peices of your photos, will be back when our speed returns..xx
Such a gorgeous sweet room. Especially like the round cushion.
That looks so fresh and lovely :)
Her room looks gorgeous. Gosh you're clever whipping up that cushion bunting. And isn't your girl following in your footsteps! How gorgeous is her little work in progress ( and impressive too!) xo
