New Cushion - Sooooo Cute!

Had to show you my new cushion, I think I will be spending a lot more time sitting in the kitchen!! 

I am sure I could fit a few more on the bench!!!

Beautiful Bunting Baby

I have seen lots of beautiful crochet bunting online, my favourite is on the Bunny Mummy  blog so check it out and there is a lovely tutorial to follow too! So thought I would have a little experiment myself with great plans to hang some in my kitchen when complete. I love the colours they are making me feel really spingy!

Bright Granny Square Cushion Finished at Last!

I am really pleased I have finished this cushion, the colours are so bright, it really has cheered-up my kitchen bench and the magnolia corner of the kitchen! Finished off with the beautiful spotty buttons I purchased from http://www.lovepaperfish.com/

This cushion joins it's cushion friends on the bench, I just need to buy some foam now and  make the seat pad and make a few more cushions so it is nice and comfy for sitting and contemplating life & eating cake!

Crochet Cushion Progress, Slow but Progress!

I keep picking this project up and putting it down (I think I good at multi-tasking working on many projects at the same time but actually it takes so long to get anything finished!!)  I have so many beautiful  crochet projects on the go - what is a girl to do??  I have crocheted the squares together for one side of my cushion.  Note to self: Try finishing one project at a time - it might just work!

I thought I would crochet a different design for the other side of my cushion, using a different colour for row - all lovely and colourful to brighten up my kitchen bench!  All that is left to do now is crochet the two together and then decide on which buttons to use!!

Hopefully I will get this finished some time soon!!
I have a busy weekend this weekend and unfortunately there is just no room for crafting :-(

Project Crochet Kitchen Bench

I purchased a beautiful bench from eBay when we moved into our new house for the kitchen and I keep promising to make some cushions and make it look more homely!  At the moment it becomes a bit of a dumping ground for anything I cannot be bothered to find a home for!!

My thinking is it is a great bench to sit on and drink tea whilst gazing at the oven patiently waiting for yummy cakes to cook!! So this week I have started making a cushion cover, using up all my odd bits of stash and using bright colours to cheer up the magnolia corner.

At the weekend I am on a mission to find a piece of foam to make a seat cushion and then the next  job will be to crochet some more squares or maybe even circles to cover it.
