Yarn bombing butterflies

Hello, so around 3 weeks ago I did my first ever yarn bomb! Yay, the original plan was to do it in a wood somewhere but I left these little butterflies behind, so the opportunity arose where I could do it with not to many people around and these are the end results!  

Really enjoyed doing this, but I wonder whether they are still there or if they have even been spotted and enjoyed by anyone!  Hopefully get some more done when I’m a bit ore out and about

Have you ever spotted any yarn bombing in you local area? What would you like to see bombed?

why dont you let me know over on my facebook page? and maybe even like it while your there!

Sizergh Woollen Woods

Sizergh Woollen woods

My parents live close to this national trust property so this week I finally got to visit the Woollen woods at Sizergh Castle.   

There was some absolute stunning items on display, my favourite of all was hidden away slightly, but hung from a branch was this absolute stunning flower.  Felt like it was made from natural cotton and just amazing! Would love to be able to do this myself!

I had originally read the criteria and throughout about entering my own few items, however  decided against it as the way I read the entry criteria it read as through only wool  material would be accepted with life sized and life like animals that would be found in  the woods.  Well things moved on and I then went on to forget about entering etc. Despite regularly crocheting a variety of items.   

However on wandering around the woods this wasn’t the case at all, lots of acrylic had been used and even one display using polystyrene balls and well… therefore just not what I was expecting. However there are some amazing bits there to be seen and well worth a visit……

…. Someone just needs to explain where the flamingo fits in….

Plan… yarn bomb my garden with crochet owls!! More pictures from this visit can be found over on the face book page!
