We had a peaceful weekend for once and as I was full of a cold with plenty of sneezing I did not feel like doing much apart from a little crocheting and sewing, a good remedy don't you think.
So what did I make, well I have been practising my crochet and to help I purchased this book.
So for my first project I picked to make were these broaches,
they were so easy to make and fun, as you can see i added lots of beads in different colours.
Remember in a previous post I purchased a book for felt making accessories,
well I started making the felt broach on the cover with little sewing aides. I thought this would look good as a cover on the front of a needle case in stead, just for me.
As you can see I still need to sew the small pieces together, then its all ready as a handy needle case. If you want to check out more of this lady's work and buy the book pop over here, Bugs and Fishes blog
An apart from this I have not been making much for my website, at the moment I don't seem to have the energy for it I don't know whats wrong really. It could be due to my iron levels being low due to having crohn's(i am waiting for treatment). Or my partner thinks I am just all knitted out, those were his words. So before I do anything hasty like delete my work or web, I thought I would try new things hence above in the pictures. I do like crocheting it seems so I am going to carry on with this idea, and improve on my skills.
Catch up with you all soon. bye for now. Julie x

Hope you are feeling better soon Julie. Those little broaches are very nice and just the perfect sized project to complete and feel good about it.
I have a really hard time with the word verification, so if you don't see comments from me as often that is why. But know that I visit often.
Julie, those brooches are really very nice. I have done some crochet in the past but it's been a very long time since I last used a crochet hook.
I hope you will show us more of your work soon.
Take care my friend! I hope you'll soon be feeling better.
Sue.
Take care Julie - it's horrible when you're under the weather.
Loving your brooches & the felt needlecase is such fun....
Hope you feel better soon,

Wishing you a speedy recovery Julie. Put your feet up and have a well earned rest. It is good to see that you are making something lovely for YOU. Take care. Marion x
Thank you for your lovely comments, I do appreciate them.
I also have a problem with the verification when leaving comments on blogs too Linda.

Julie we all have moments where we are all crafted out. Although having a problem with low iron won't help either. Hope you are not waiting too long for your treatment. Big sis xxxx
Hope you are feeling much better now. We all have those moments when we just don't feel like doing a thing. I've been like that the past couple of days. Life gets so busy at times. We've had dusty weather since Tuesday. Bleh! Your projects are always lovely. Have a great weekend. Tammy
Sorry you're not well Julie. I hope you're getting some well earned rest and soon feel recharged.
I do like that sewing project you've got on the go.
Have a relaxing weekend, Pearle x
