Sort-of Swimsuit with Hat
So readers, c'est moi!
OK, so I actually made the swimsuit thing (the pattern was a bit big for my doll hence it's kinda baggy and doesn't look as good as in the book) ages ago, but I finished the hat on holiday, with thanks to Julia and her handy sewing needle thing :) And so here is the finished shebang! I love how this hat actually starts off quite wide and then you decrease which gives it those nice almost-triangle shaped bits and I really like the bump that goes around the middle of the hat - I think it makes it look really interesting. Hats are really easy, so if you're looking for something to do as a first project that isn't a scarf (because they're a bit boring and take ages!) a hat would be a cool thing to do!

Knitted Teddy Bear
I have just finished knitting this rather evil looking teddy bear for my doll. I have been making clothes for her recently, and have made a few outfits, and this little teddy completes one of the outfits I haven't finished making yet. I think I may have stitched the arms on upside down which makes it look more... scary. I used 2.75 mm needles and thin grey thread that is usually used for sock knitting. It's stuffed with a pair of old tights. I think you could probably adapt the pattern to make any kind of teddy - I'm considering making a 'Lotso' from Toy Story 3 with pink thread. It is a bit fiddly to sew all the pieces together, but there you go... It doesn't take long to make, especially the ears which are only three rows high!

Cheesy Feet
Hello readers!!! (wait, do we have readers?? :p) My name is Hannah and I am your newest contributor woop woop :)) So, since coming back from holidays, I have been oh-so creative and made many wonderful things! Firstly, my mother made these "cheesy feet" biscuits (recipe can be found in Nigella Lawson's Feast cookbook) which are so cute, tasted deliciously cheesy and were very simple to make. The foot shaped biscuit cutter was found in Bulk Barn in Barrie, I believe. Seeing as I have no photos of my other creations at this moment, I'll end this post now. But watch this space, I'll be back.

Tumblr Blog
I just copied this blog onto tumblr, so that more people can access it if they want. The address is www.createloveshare.tumblr.com and it has all the same content as this blog, just has a slightly different layout and you don't need a gmail address to access it. Any email address will do.
