I love multi-functionality and this has just got the ticket! Plus it comes in my favourite shades of blue 😍 Lovely crochet doily wall hanging framed in an embroidery hoop. This has got two sides to it, so you can either display the lighter turquoise side or the darker blue one. It's even got a bit of sparkle! And it doesn't just look pretty, you can also use it to store your earrings, simply hook them in. Grab it now in my Etsy shop (link is in bio), it's one of a kind and when it's gone it's gone!

The bunny hooded cowl is finished and was handed over to my colleague yesterday. I had great fun designing this and can't wait to see my colleague's daughter in it 😍 . . . #custommade #happycustomer #crochetgram #crochetersofinstagram #shopsmall #makersgonnamake #makersgonnashare #makersmovement #cylcollective #etsyseller #designermaker #thatsdarling #flashesofdelight #lukh #giftswithstyle #favehandmade #welovecollect #likelycrush #abmlifeisbeautiful #handmadeloves #creatorslane #bunny #rabbit #accessories #fashion #forkids #childrenswear (at Cassiopeia Knit Designs)

Here is another custom order I completed on Sunday. It sure has been a prolific day knitting on the sofa while the frost took hold outside! . . . #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #crochetgram #crochetinspiration #knittersofinstagram #knittinginspiration #sirdar #sirdarescape #accessories #custommade #mittens #babyitscoldoutside #winteriscoming #wool #warmhands #makersgonnamake #handmadeisbetter #cylcollective #etsyresolution2016 #etsyuk #flashesofdelight (at Cassiopeia Knit Designs)

Fluff, lots of fluff! I am still trying to come up with ideas of what use to make of fluff, fluff that has been trimmed off making pom poms. Anyone got any ideas? . . . #help #question #reuse #recycle #zerowaste #makersgonnamake #makersgonnashare #makersmovement #cylcollective #etsyresolution2016 #makersvillage #etsyseller #pompom #craftersofinstagram #craft #handmade #fluff #wool (at Cassiopeia Knit Designs)

These bad boys are baking in the oven right now and the scent wafting through the flat is amazing! These are for my annual 1st of Advent German Christmas Spirit party next Sunday. Question is, will I be able to restrain myself til then??? Tis just so tempting 😂 . . . #baking #gbbo #germanchristmas #christmasbaking #christmas #noel #natale #advent #weihnachtsbäckerei #hygge #stollen #christstollen #quarkstollen #foodporn #instafood #feedfeed #tasty #cake #intheoven #etsyseller #etsyresolution2016 #cylcollective #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #makersgonnashare #abmlifeisbeautiful (at Cassiopeia Knit Designs)

So, I just found these in a bag of yarn I was given by a colleague. Does anyone know what they are and what they are used for. It looks like they are a bit like a spool as there is some thread wrapped around... . . . #help #question #craftersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #knitting #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #embroidery #sewing #craft #diy #makersgonnashare #etsyseller #etsyresolution2016 #cylcollective #makersmovement (at Cassiopeia Knit Designs)

Today we are talking CREATIVITY in the #handmadenovemberchallenge It's hard to say where my inspiration comes from, it could be anything really but mostly I let my materials speak to me and am guided by the feel of the yarn as well as the colours. . . . #instachallenge #creativity #creativityfound #yarnlove #fibreaddict #fibreart #etsyresolution2016 #cylcollective #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #bedeeplyrooted #creativelifehappylife #smallbiz #thatsdarling #knittersofinstagram #knittinginspiration #inspiration (at Cassiopeia Knit Designs)

Time to get these finished. Think I will go with the icy blues for the grey trees and make some white trees for the other colour combos.

Oxford at its best. Autumn colours abound on my lunchtime walk through Mesopotamia. (at Marston Road)

Say 'hello' to my new temporary housemate Moonface. If anyone knows what moonface is in Persian, do let me know as I forgot already! Am goldfish sitting for my colleagues and incidental neighbours until the weekend. They are Iranian and the goldfish is significant for their Nowruz (Persian New Year) ceremony. . . . #goldfish #fishbow #fish #fishtank l #pets #petsitting #support #iran #persia #nowruz #neighbours #friends #traditions #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmlifeiscolorful #thatsdarling #prettylittlethings #flashesofdelight (at Cassiopeia Knit Designs)
