Reflection...

2012 saw the start of my little hobby go public.  Knitting little hats and wraps for photographers has certainly  helped me pass the time, even with all the stress that it (sometimes) brings, I have loved every minute of it.  A big thank you to everyone who has helped me, bought my items or given me encouragement or advice.

Happy New Year

Well, what a busy month it has been! My mom came over from South Africa early December to spend 2 months with us. We went away for a lovely, but very cold, week in Elveden, went back to work for a week, then Christmas came along and now it's 2013!!! Safe to say I am glad things have calmed down and I can get back to knitting! Although I did have a few projects going on that I somehow managed to squeeze in!



I am currently putting together a RTS sale. Just working on a few more items for some variety. This will be posted on my Facebook page. So keep an eye out for that!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! May 2013 bring you many happy moments!

A big thank you to Natasha Wiening Photography for the use of this amazing photo.

I can't believe I am saying this... but here it goes... Christmas is fast approaching and I am running out of time!! Yes, I know there are still 3 months to go before Christmas is really here but I am trying to get a collection of little hats out for all those Christmas cards and new babies and I just don't seem to be getting anywhere fast enough!

Here is a sneak peak and what I have made so far...

Mohair Collection

I have been dying to knit  little hats from the beautiful mohair blend yarns I have but have been putting it off because of its fine texture and ultra small needles that it would require.  But with a little persuasion from the lovely Natasha Wiening Photography,  I have knitted a few little hats to co-ordinate with the lovely wraps I make. All of these have detachable flower in a contrasting colour.  Great for mixing them up and changing the look in seconds.

Natasha Wiening Photography

It was June 2010, I was 34 weeks pregnant, when I met Natasha Wiening.  I wanted memories that would capture the beauty and wonderful sense of excitement and expectancy that my husband and I were feeling with the arrival of our precious bundle just a few weeks away. With her friendly personality and warm atmosphere,  what she managed to capture in our photos will always remind us of our journey of joy and absolute love for a teeny tiny little person we were yet to meet.  Photos that we will treasure forever...  what I did not expect was several months later I'd meet up with Natasha again, but this time not for photos, but to knit her a few photography props for those beautiful little newborns that she is so blessed to have in her studio.

It has been such a rewarding experience to see the knits I have lovingly made,  on those little angels captured so beautifully.  I also have the privilege to show you some of these photography props in action, all these gorgeous photographs have been taken by Natasha, please visit Natasha Wiening Photography and see her wonderful work.  Her photography truly is an artwork to treasure.
