Ardardan Summer Craft Fair & Flowers for Friends

Silly Lily will be setting up shop at the Ardardan Summer Craft Fair . . .

on: Saturday 11 August 2012
@ Ardardan Estate, nr. Cardross
doors open 10:00 'til 16:00

I am extremely grateful to my 3 dedicated blog followers! and to everyone who has liked Silly Lily over the past month or so on Facebook, and to say THANKS I have made little flower pins for you all; Flowers for Friends. Simply bring along the voucher below, purchase something from the Silly Lily range and a flower is yours.

Every flower has been hand crocheted and finished with teeny tiny buttons and a butterfly clutch so you can fasten them to your lapel or wherever you fancy. They're available in a variety of colours but make sure you're an early bird for first picks! 

I hope that as many of you as possible will find the time to pop along (even if it's just to say cooee before you nip for tea and the delicious cakes!). Don't forget to bring your voucher! : D

silly animals: series 1

It's been a long time since I've designed anything new for Silly Lily but I know that anyone who looks in on this blog (and I know there's not many of you) will know I've been rather preoccupied with crochet for the past few months. More recently I've focused on amigurumi and after a month or two practising I've (rather presumptuously) decided I'm expert enough to design a whole range of amigurumi animals!!

Without further a do, I am pleased to be able to introduce Marge, Mister Moo, Peppermint and Robert who form series 1 (a bit like Lego mini figures, etc.) of what I hope will be an ongoing collection of silly hand crocheted animals.

silly animals: series 1

Peppermint Pig loves turnips for tea!

Mister Moo prefers daisies to buttercups!

Marge Mouse pinches pecorino when nobody's looking!

and

Robert Rabbit would do just about anything for a carrot!

I have, at long last, got my act together and I'm delighted to announce that you can purchase your very own silly animal from my Silly Lily shop which is now open for business on ETSY. If you prefer to have a go at making one, the patterns can be downloaded via Ravelry for a wee fee!

I hope that somebody, other than mum and Aimee, will love them enough to want to have one (or two, or three, or four)!
