Friday Friends - Dusty Divas - Delicious Designz

Welcome to Friday lovely readers - how was your Easter ? Ours was very busy with family coming to stay and the house became filled with the laughter and tears of my young niece and nephew. We even had a frosty morning Easter Egg hunt in the back garden - it has been a beautifully hectic week and I have loved every moment ! I digress - this week I am thrilled to feature again a dear Friday Friend and divinely DUSTy diva - Del from Get Spooned!

The DELicious Designz Ditty

Hi! My name is Adelle and I am a craft addict. I have featured before on this blog with my resin and spoon jewellery, but today it is all about yarn and crochet.

Where did this addiction begin? The art of crochet has been around for many years and is often associated with grandma's.

But not anymore!! The revolution of young crocheters is here and we are making it cool to crochet.

For me it is something that has always been a part of my life. As a young girl I watched my gran and my mum busying themselves at every opportunity with yarn - whether it be knitting or crochet.

There were many attempts to teach me , and after countless dropped stitches I eventually had enough of the basics to get me on my way.

Many years went by when I had far better things to do with my time - teenager, young adult, and motherhood - so crochet and craft in general was pushed aside.

But the addiction has come back stronger than ever. I just love being able to create so many things with a hook and ball of yarn.

My gran is now 87 years old and she still crochet and knits. She used to make things to sell at markets but now she does it for charity, making blankets and beanies which are given to the needy.

Now I can WOW her with the things I make and she is proud that the craft has been passed on.

I love the bright colours and textures and find crochet to be very relaxing.

I have lots of things ready for my next market like these warm and comfy mary-jane slippers
crocheted eco friendly face scrubbies

cute monkey hats

and a few more ideas which I have a week to work on !
