Went Shopping Today

Well I went shopping today, I got a few new balls of wool to add to my collection from Spotlight.

I got Bright pink, Red, Orange and Blue.

I also made a trip to Dave's Emporium in Manukau and got a few things to finish making a couple of nappy cakes, I will also take these to the market on Sunday. If they prove to be popular I will make more for next time.

Off to the markets

After trying unsuccessfully to sell some of my hats on trade me i decided to investigate the local craft markets.

Emma from Lil Monsters and I decided that we would contact the Devonport craft market and we have been given a spot outside for this Sundays market, yaaaaay.

I am both excited and scared at the prospect of this but I'm not going to get anywhere sitting at home am I.

Here are some of the things I have created for the market.

Purple fairy dress made with baby yarn and bridal tulle with purple sparkles.

I have also made these with blue baby yarn and pale blue tulle

One of the headbands I made, Have also made one with a Bow

Necklace with white flower

More Hats and Shoes

Since the other hat didn't fit my baby i thought i had better give it another go. I found this really cute hat pattern with ear flaps.

I made it with the same really soft baby yarn.

I had a request from an old friend who saw the hat with the flower in the above post and wanted one made for her little girl.

I tried to make some little baby shoes but because I didn't have a printer at the time i just traced off the computer screen and the shoes turned out a bit smaller than expected.

The outers are 100% cotton and they are lined with a soft fluffy fabric

First hats

The first hat I made turned out a bit small for a newborn baby so would probably fit a preemie baby instead. I used a mixture of blue polyester eyelash type yarn and plain white acrylic yarn.

Briannah Didn't want to be left out so I made her a pink and white hat. She even took it for class news the next day.

This hat is really soft, I used baby yarn. I wish it could fit me it feels so good.

This was also my first attempt of making a flower.

Welcome to my Blog

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I am Tania, the creator of Tania's Treasure Trunk.

As a stay at home mum to a lovely 6 year old girl and a 4 month old little boy, living out in the country I often found myself getting a little bored. This is when i decided to use my crafty nature to my advantage and make some stuff to keep me occupied and hopefully make a bit of pocket money at the same time.

I tried to learn crochet on the internet but found it very difficult but after a quick lesson from my mother in law i had it down and I was off on my crafty quest.

I look forward to updating you regularly with my new projects.

Tania
