Pretty in Pink – Newborn Gift Box
I am excited to announce I have a new gift box available soon in my online shop.
Pretty in Pink is a selection of handcrafted items made by myself and local designers and artisans. A baby being born is a very special occasion and what better way to celebrate than with a gift that’s beautifully crafted by talented artists.

Wednesday work in progress…..
I am working on this gorgeous design by Catherine Crochets. It’s a beautiful design which brings you back to your childhood days of sitting on the floor and cutting out paper dolls out of paper. The pattern will be out soon.
I will put more photos up as I complete the pattern.

Work in Progress – Wednesday
Are you looking for affordable handmade gift? …. I have some great ideas for you!
I truly love handmade goods. I still have many handmade items given to me by my mother and mother in law. I have saved them to pass them on to my daughter.
I wanted to pass on the beautiful tradition of gifting handmade goods onto everyone.
My favourite handmade items are crocheted. I will be debuting my new range of blankets, toys and spa accessories.
I have listed some items in my Etsy shop already.
Later in the week I will have another set for listing.
Visit my Instagram page for more details on the items available. https://instagram.com/vickys_handcrafted_designs
Here are some photos of completed and my work in progress designs
Work in progress Wednesday 11 August 2021
Is it just me or is this year flying by!
With Covid raging around the world it’s an anxious and stressful time for everyone. I hope you are able to keep safe wherever you are.
The one thing that keeps me sane during lockdown times is crochet. I get so lost in selecting yarns and patterns and counting stitches my mind doesn’t get a chance to wander and think of all the sadness in the world right now.
At the moment I am working on some blankets and baby accessories. I will have some items ready soon for a gift pack. I just got the boxes in today. I will show the preview on Friday.
Above are a cute pair of baby booties. I still have to finish them but I love the colour and simplicity of the design.
August 15 is granny square day. I love to crochet continuous granny square blankets. They remind me of days of old. A beautiful traditional design that will last for decades to come. I am nearly finished the blanket. I am not sure of the name of this Caron cake but I love the blue and mint and white combination!
These are some blankets I crocheted. Some from patterns and some my own ideas. They are in various stages from completed to just needing a boarder to needing just a few squares to complete.
I love the variety of colours and the warmth they radiate!
What are some of your favourite go to projects to unwind! Comment below!
Thank you so much for reading my blog. Take care and stay safe.

Workin progress Wednesday…..
First of all let me say thank you to you all for the overwhelmingly support I have had on here the last few days! It’s truly brightened my days!
We just got told this morning we are in for an lockdown! Four weeks this time! So I am trying to pass the time to finish up some of my crochet projects.
This first one is a Spin Your Granny Square blanket crochet along. Kylie from Stitchedupcraft does one every year.
This year I decided on a pink theme. Reminds me of delicious strawberries and cream and strawberry ice cream sundae!
I am nearly finished which is exciting! This is the progress so far.
What do you guys think so far? Can’t wait until I finish it!
I received some orders today for this gorgeous Amigurumi bunny.
I will be sending these out later in the week.
All in all it’s going to be a pretty busy week.
I hope you are all well where ever you are.
Thank you for reading my blog post
