This huge parcel came in the mail for me, all the way from Texas! It’s a very generous RAOK (Random Act Of Kindness) from a fellow Crochetviller: I love the colours and I’ve never seen any of these yarns before (we don’t even have Hobby Lobby in Canada) so I’m really pleased – thank you […]

But in the meantime, to whet your appetite even more while you wait, here’s my baby beluga whale with his mummy: He’s turned out just as sweet as I’d hoped […]
AquaAmi are in the works… I staged their photoshoot this morning, complete with painted sea/sky backdrop and fabric rocks/sand.
