Sewing for the Dogs

Two posts in one day!!!
Snoopy needed a new collar and, and I had a couple of metres of this pretty purple/pink webbing left, as well as this cute ribbon that I'd bought.  So I decided to make her a new collar and lead, and recycle the metal hardware from the old ones.
Above is a photo of Snoopy modelling her new collar and lead (begrudgingly, she didnt' want to get off the new bed)
That evening I also made two new dog beds, for their crates.  Snoopy is lying on Rocky's one, and her one (the pink flowery one) is in the background.  They love them, and rush into their crates at night to sleep in their cosy new beds!

Learning to Crochet!

I've wanted to learn to crochet for a while, so I bought a book which came with a selection of crochet hooks and other things, and I bought some wool.
I attempted to start, but the book was very confusing, so I didn't get very far!
Thankfully, I have a friend who is an amazing crochet-er (is that even a word?!), who got me started on the right track.

I wanted to make a simple project to begin with, and as I get sore ears when I walk the dogs in the cold, I thought I'd make a warm headband/ear warmer.
it looked a bit plain, so I found an video on YouTube which showed me how to make the flower.

Here's the finished project.  The colour isn't very accurate, it is a lovely deep purple colour, and no, it isn't wonky, it's just the way I overlapped it when I took the photo
