It's hard to make a space look interesting when it's the same thing every week just a different colour! I am really scraping the barrel for excitement now. Dragging out the good 'ole
diorama for a bit of colour and pizazz.
Regardless, yes another starrberry beret in a noice coffee colour for a 21st birthday present. It's number 3 for the week and when you consider I work fulltime and had no real spare time over the weekend it's an impressive effort that I'm rather proud of. I have also written up the pattern for it (see
this post) and are now nervously awaiting feedback from a couple of people who have started making one. (hope it's going ok
Nikki!)
After I finish this one I am intending to take a forced break from crocheting to give my wrist and thumb a rest and have decided to pursue a bit of drawing, hence my pack of fineliners... I am also starting a yarn diary but more about that tomorrow...
Check out other creative spaces
here...(OOPs! Just realised the placement of Mr Wuppet's hand *blush*. It's a little bit naughty but was a complete accident I assure you...)

The little oops at the end of the post made my day.
I LOVE your diorama it is so cool and the beret of course! I totally believe you about Mr Wuppet's hand..........mmmmm
Mr's hand was the firs thing in noticed, Hilarious!!!! Brilliant space this week.
Thanks M* for the advice. I have decreased sooner and its looking ok now, it definitely needs a flower and some embellishment. I love the chunky yarn ive used but im planning to make my next one in Bamboo/cotton yarn to get that cool beret flop.
Love the wuppets accident BTW, i bet your hubby finds that Hysterical!
love your figures! and your hats are looking so sweet :)
I'm dreaming of the day I have time to crochet one of your cute patterns. The muppets in the diorama made me laugh, they are so funny, I love popping in here to see what they're up to next :)
Ooh the yarn diary sounds interesting! I love the hand placement...lol.
It makes me feel like I'm perving on a bit of a private moment. My crochet wrist was so sore I had to ask my pilates teacher for a bit of advice regarding the ergonomics of it all. Can't seem to stop though.
Just fabulous, Melanie!
You know, as much as I love them, you really don't need props to make your crochet look interesting!
Great post! :) K
Oh! Oh, oh! I am sitting next to my sleeping son and almost woke him with my laughter. First the photo, then the oops at the end. Also, I love dioramas, so this post just rocks.
Made me smile. I love the yarn so awesome!
Just finished Emmstar! Have alook i posted a pic of me wearing it! It needs embellishment but im hot to trot to make my next one now. That was seriously FUN!
I wouldn't have even noticed the opps until you pointed it out! made my day!
that guest was me!
LOL- both oops and placement! I was thinking of taking a course-maybe- in crochet- it looks so lovely- Enjoy finishing it and your rest!

I was wondering why Mrs Wuppet's smile was smilier than normal!!
The hat looks like a nice one.
I just thought the Mr was just being very thoughtful in preserving the modesty of the Mrs!
Don'tcha just love a fresh new pack of pens? Mmmmmm I can almost smell them Mel! Have fun creating blisters in other places ... on your hands just to clarify ;)
Now if that's bottom-of-the-barrel propage, you have a damn fine create barrel. That diarama is so fine. I love it so much!
The dollhouse is amazing and I guess wouldn't be complete without a frisky man. He's no Ken doll!
heheh i love your wuppets - Mr Whuppet put your hand in your pocket! oops your naked!
Lovely crochet. I soooo love the wuppet house!! Just brilliant :)
Is that why Mr Wuppet has a big grin on his face?
Just looked at the finished beret and they're gorgeous. I will definitely be trying the pattern - thank you so much for posting it! xx
Yes, creative accidents often produce the best results.
Thanks Linda. I had so much fun making that diorama
I have such a poor memory. Thought it might be a good idea to keep a record of what I use, when and what for so I have a record.
I so know the sore feeling and the can't stop one.
Aww thanks Kylie. That's a lovely thing to say
Thanks June, glad it made you laugh
Thanks Selina. I certainly didn't notice it until I had published the post! That was an add in note!
Thanks Annamaria. I recommend you do a course in crochet for sure. You won't regret it
Thanks Michelle
LOL! I am looking forward to it too!
Thanks Gina! It was a lot of fun to make. It's what inspired me to start my blog.
LOL Thank goodness!
Thanks Lauren
No doubt it is. He's a rather cheeky wuppet
It's my pleasure Abigail. I hope it works out for you
