In my blog post last week I shared a little of our recent camping trip to the North of England. In this post I’ll share a little more of the creative inspirations from that trip as it wasn’t just about sea glass hunting… We stayed 3 nights in Alnwick a lovely market town. There’s a… Continue reading A little more creative inspiration from the North…
So I fulfilled a little dream- yes, I have visited Seaham – a place I have wanted to go to ever since I first discovered that it was well known for it’s sea glass. Seaham is in County Durham in the North East of England, 340 miles away from where we live so it’s a… Continue reading Searching for Sea Glass in Seaham… (and a little crochet too of course)
Following my pebbles covered in crochet and finally getting a copy of ‘The Sea Issue’ of the ‘Scheepjes Yarn’ magazine from last year, I have now moved onto crocheting around seaglass! There’s a gorgeous article in this ‘Scheepjes’ magazine about ‘beach souvenirs’ and crocheting around treasures found on the beach such as stones, shells and seaglass.… Continue reading Crocheting around Seaglass…

I’ve seen pebbles covered in crochet many times before online and in magazines and… Continue reading Pebbles Covered in Crochet…

And here’s the story behind my design… Back in May I took a photo of the ‘Sea Thrift’ flowers on our local clifftops and published it to my Instagram with the following comment… ‘Sea Thrift… I love… Continue reading Sea Thrift Shawl…
Well this was a crochet project that I didn’t expect to find on my hooks! I don’t think I’d ever have thought to crochet a campfire but when Hobbycraft approached me to ask if I would be able to crochet them a campfire to scale which they wanted for a professional photo shoot, I wasn’t about to… Continue reading A Crocheted Campfire!
