New old-style little ted and crochet update

Time for What's on my Work Desk Wednesday and join in with the weekly Show and tell.  So, on today's work desk/dining table there's my new (to me) Whiff of Joy rubber stamps that I got from ebay last week, together with a card that I made with one of them (see the post below this one), some stamped images ready to colour and my blue pencil case/crotchet bag.  The purple lidded box is my new storage solution - its what the clothes washing liquid capsules come in - the boxes are see through, quite sturdy and are just the right size for my bling and other bits 'n' bobs.  Doing my bit for recycling too!

Here's a close up of my new stamps - I know that the middle one is Shopping Willow but I don't know the other two ... Willow something or another I'd guess.

So in my pencil case there's a little sneak peek of the little teddy I finished yesterday.  It is made of mohair and is about 3.5" tall.  The ball of white crochet thread was a Hobbycrafts bargain and was only about £1.50.

In Sunday's post I said that I would let you know how I got on with teaching myself to crochet flowers - well, here's the result.  As a compete crochet novice I'm really please with how they've turned out.  The pastel ones are done with 4-ply wool and the smaller white one is done with the crochet thread.  All were done on a 2mm hook.  I prefer the white one because the thread is much finer - look out for them appearing on a card soon!

Here's a couple of close ups of the little teddy.......

Just the right size to hold in your hand for a mini hug!

Thanks for visiting today!
