New Online Crafty Fun

Hello again my dears. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your wonderful comments on my last post. You’ll all be pleased to hear that I’ve finally shooed away my bug ….. straight to my hubby. Yes, well I’m always very generous with my germs Oh and before you all cry out “Man Flu” he doesn’t suffer from that at all. He usually shakes anything off within 24-36 hours. I get knocked down like a bunch of skittles and takes me forever to bounce back …..grrrrrr!

It was while I was wallowing that I signed up for a couple of New Year crafty sign-ups. The first is 2012 Monthly Makes run by Annie from The Felt Fairy. Annie ran a similar campaign last year but I gave it a miss. This year though, I thought I’d take part as I want to either complete a small project every month and/or work consistently towards a larger project. By signing up, it’ll help keep me on track. If you haven’t signed up yet and want to make the pledge, then you can click on the 2012 Monthly Make image or by clicking on this link.

My second is a new swap for this year. I’ve signed up for LaaLaa’s Blanket Squares Swap 2012. It’s being run by the lovely Lynda from Hookin’ With LaaLaa. It’s a UK only swap but the idea is that we send knitted/crochet squares to the participants and we then make up our own friendship blanket. Again, there’s more details on Lynda’s blog, the post can be found here. Swap entrants must sign up by Thursday 26 January, so don’t leave it too late to join.

Finally, I’ve joined the Crochet a block a month in 2012 group on Ravelry. This is a crochet-a-long lasting all year and is a great way of using up some acrylic yarn in my stash. Plus it’s a fun way of discovering new 12″ and 6″ crochet squares.

Phew! I think that’s going to keep me busy this year. Have you signed up yet for any online crafty fun this year? If so, do share.

Till next time, keep on doing the crafty happy dance
