Elves and Trees

I have been crocheting Christmas Trees (for Christmas Presents). I loved doing this. So quick, lots of little embellishing bits.

You can find the pattern for these here

And these little fellas are called Korknisse and are crocheted around a cork. You can also find the pattern for these here.

When I made these last year I actually knitted them as I wasn't confident enough to crochet them. Both are easy. The knitted ones you can make up as you go along. The only problem is, you have to drink plenty of wine to get the corks - shame!

 

Both of these patterns have come from the very talented Annabooshouse.blogspot.com. She is an amazing lady and she shares many of her patterns - a lot of them made up by herself. Very clever.

Giveaway Received

A while ago ( when I still lived in the UK), I won a giveaway from Annaboos House.  

She contacted me to tell me she was ready to send me my handmade gifts and they came in the post this morning.  HOW EXCITING.

These were in my first package.

Gorgeous little crocheted trees with beads and buttons.

Just beautiful.

Such detail.

And the other package had her lovely Christmas blocks.

I love them, love them, love them

And here is everything together

It was part of a handmade giveaway.  She won a giveaway from another crafter and then hosted a giveaway herself.   I now have to host a giveaway too.  Which I will do once I have my crafting supplies up and running.

Thank you so much Annaboo.  

Her work is amazing and I wonder how I will make anything as lovely to giveaway myself.  You can see Annaboos work here http://annabooshouse.blogspot.com/

Do have a look.  Her blog is entertaining, funny, delightful and she also gives patterns away.

Watch this space for the giveaway details.  I will try and set it up in the next couple of weeks.
