How is it nearly Easter already? 🐰 I made these How is it nearly Easter already? 🐰 I made these little bunny appliques last year so I thought I'd share them again. Don't you think they would be so cute as a little Easter brooch or as a decoration on a card? There is a little bit of sewing and embroidery involved, but these bunnies are small so they work up quickly. Free pattern for the bunnies (in two sizes) and the itty bitty carrot up on the website.

I was going to make this a paid pattern, but 2020... (need I say more?) So I decided to release it  for free instead, in the hopes that it brings some festive cheer to someone who needs it! You can find it on thoresbycottage.com.

I loved making this little guy. He's only 16cm tall and such a sweet Christmas companion. He is going to see out the festive season from atop my mantelpiece 🦌🎄

Christmas is next week... this has felt like the l Christmas is next week... this has felt like the longest year, but still  somehow,  Christmas rolls around in a flash. We haven't even got our tree up yet! Does anyone else feel like that? Here are some little baubles I made last year (free pattern on the blog). They are still packed away in the Christmas box, but I plan for them to come out this week! 🌲

Are you team cat or dog? I've always leaned more t Are you team cat or dog? I've always leaned more towards team dog actually (cat lovers don't hate me!). Growing up I had dogs and now we have a cairn terrier called Lily Buttons. She is a fierce defender of our lawn, against squirrels and guinea fowl, and the sweetest little (scruffy) presence in our home. Even though I'm more of a dog person, we used to have a big, old cat called Felix. He was a huge, black and white gentleman of a cat, who wormed his way into my heart. I cried buckets the day he died! He definitely upped the score for team cat 🐱🐶💕

It's the beginning of Christmas month! Even though It's the beginning of Christmas month! Even though this year will be a little (a lot) different, I'm looking forward to winding down, reflecting on the year that has been and moving forward to the year ahead. Despite all the sadness and difficulty of 2020, I think ending the year less frantically than I usually do is certainly a blessing!

It feels a bit weird posting about a scarf when th It feels a bit weird posting about a scarf when the days are getting longer and warmer here.... but I know lots of you have it the other way around at the moment, so I hope you enjoy this little pattern! I crocheted it with two strands held together, which gives a lovely speckle to the finished project. If you haven't tried this technique, then give it a go!
.
The pre-balled, two tone yarn that I used seems to be discontinued, but you can have loads of fun picking different yarns to do this project. They don't have to match in weight either, so it's a great way to use up some of those skeins that you  bought 'because they are pretty' but are now lurking around your stash (we all have those skeins, right?)

Crochet and cake ~ what a winning combo! We've ha Crochet and cake ~ what a winning combo!

We've had builders all week. Stress much! So when I heard that a new @chateau_gateaux CakeAway (take away for cake🍰) shop had opened up in our neighbourhood, I was first in line for a little comfort treat. Quite literally first in line, haha! I had to wait a bit in the car for them to open the doors...😬. The Mozart cake was delicious! It has layers of Japonaise (soft meringue with seasonal tree nuts) and hazelnut praline cream, topped with fine chocolate shavings. Yum! Pair that with some crochet time and I'm a much happier camper. Do you have a favourite go to treat or thing to do when you are feeling frazzled? Tell me!
