Monthly Makes 2012 - January

Good morning

Thanks for all the comments on the CK review - I'm just sorry that so many people have had problems with stuff and have been left feeling disappointed. I do think that if we have a problem with things we should email these companies and let them know - I did - just waiting to hear back.

Anyhow, I thought I high time to show you my makes for January - I know its not over for another 9 days but next week is looking hectic so I don't think I'll get much more done.


I've started well - lots of smallish makes - some for pressies and others are destined for the craft fair pile. There's even a few of things in there for me!

From top left - a purse for a friend, infinity scarf for craft fair, owls - a mix of pressies and fair stock, 2 teacup candles - one for me and one for a pressie, THAT CK cushion, my first attempt a crocheted jar cover, bunting for the fair, my upcycled Debbie Bliss Eco cotton infinity scarf and more bunting.

I think that's not a bad load for a month - looking at my to-make list theres loads more still to make towards the fair - I need a raggie making week I think. Plus I've still loads of family birthdays coming up and several for my S&B group friends too.

I'll leave you with a self taken pic of my new scarf - its so soft and snuggly - I think more of this yarn needs to find its way into my stash;


Right - I can finally hear noises from upstairs - guess it means MrVV & the teenagers are starting to wake up. Time for more coffee and then lets see what Sunday has to throw at me - nothing to taxing I hope - I'd rather be crocheting!!

See you soon

Im also snatching a catch up in blog land before the crew wake up - its a supermarket shop for me today and a bit of cleaning/cooking/ironing but hopefully a smidgeon of crochet too!

Lovely makes, Vicki. I have got the CK crochet set too and I bought one for Kandi. I haven't used mine yet but I'm dreading getting started now. I will let you know what it's like and will contact CK if it's crap. As you said, it wasn't cheap! xx

Love your little owls, Vicki! And the teacup candles. I was just looking yesterday at some instructions to make these!

Love your scarf!! I keep seeing 'em about, but I just haven't got round to making one, which is a shame 'cos I know I'd love one!!

Love your Ck review post! Well said my dear, I couldn't agree more!
