So! I've been having a very educational evening watching Stargazing Live (on the BBC) while I crochet away with tea and cake. On Monday I went past Jodrell Bank on the train and I always get a little bit excited! I've wanted to be an astronaut for forever but maths just let me down :p
I've completely forgotten to show you the last Christmas present I made for my mum! I don't mean the pink fluff no ;)
These cute little cactii are from a pattern by Elf Luvs Dwarf who unfortunately seems to have stopped blogging so if you want the pattern I'd recommend saving them just incase!
I modified the pattern a bit - well I say modified! I stopped short of making the pot and just glued them into some tiny teracotta pots that our fish tank plants came in :) I reckon they're a bit more steady and it was a lot easier too!
And now they all live at my mums in little green houses. I might even get you a photo one day!
I've broken one of my resolutions already and I was doing so well for the last 17 days! I've started something new...
:o

This made me laugh! The Circle of life! I am desperately trying to finish my Ripple 'Mountain'...it is going on and on! I love it but phew it is a bit of a monster...and there you are just starting one. It is very pretty. I love the crochet cacti too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my god, I loooooooove those cacti!! I want some ^_^ It'd be lovely to see more photos :)

ReplyDeleteI adore your cacti.. and one of those would be a good giveaway prize! I also love the bright fruity colors in your ripple.. yummy!
ReplyDelete((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Those cacti would be a perfect pincushion. Ripple is looking happy and bright.
ReplyDeleteI love your cacti! I did exactly the same with the one I made, I put mine in a tiny bucket in stead of crocheting the pot. Must confess I like our way better :D
ReplyDeleteEep a new gorgeous ripple start!! Don't tempt me, I'm about to finish mine and I'm already thinking about another one! :D x

ReplyDeleteHope you have fun with it. :)
Just found you from a link on lucyinthesky's blog. I love the cacti! I mean, I know it is hard to kill cacti, but for those hardened non-green fingered friends of mine that would be the perfect present!
