So here's a happy smiling face !
I think he looks like he is just begging for a hug :)

This week I battled with crochet. I don't find it easy and every time I pick up a project I have to relearn the basics again. I think also relearning the patten "code" also befuddles me. I think I must have ripped back the loops at least 9 times for the head.... after that the going got easier. Thank you youtube tutorials. This is all basic crochet, and the pattern is for a basic stitch only. So overall really recommended and little turtle comes out looking just like the pattern promises.

I picked up the wool in Taiwan. I have chosen a cheap acrylic because acrylic seems to give a stiffer finished amigurumi and will hopefully stand up to the laundry better! The Yarn is perhaps not well known. I couldn't find it on ravelry. It is a thick double knit, not quite aran and not quite DK.

Flower ring

A little wire twisted mini ring for todays home make!

The agate flower is from a market in Seoul, South Korea. I love picking up little bits and bobs to use when I am away. I think of it as DIY souvenirs and of course much more special than some of the random things you see for tourists on holiday. 

I think this colour will also go well with my winter wardrobe. Hoping for earth tones this year greens and browns. I have just bought a pile of lovely wool for a crop jumper.

Here it is....

Its Hong Kong neon lights themes. I got a pillowcase on sale from a trendy HK themed shop. Chopped one up... Some bright mini moda squares. This one is certainly one of my brightest quilts this month.
