Hello and Goodbye?!

Hello you guys!
So today I had the great pleasure of checking my status and I still can't quite believe how many international readers I have and I would really like to thank you all 'cause without you I wouldn't have that pleasure so thank you. I also want to say sorry for not posting regularly! I think about you guys a lot but I have no excuse for not posting.

Anyway away from the starter-ry bits, I think I'm going to be starting a new blog?! So excited- got big plans for this! It's going to be a writing blog- stories told online one chapter at a time. I love to write and I would love for you guys to see this!

As well as this, I'm thinking of scrapping The Cute Hook and starting all over again. I would love to venture outside of just craft and be a bit more lifestyle-y (wow, way to prove you can write!) because I'm finding it really hard to come out with content I really love and would read myself. Of course, this blog will still be live, I would just not post on it.

So, what do you think? I know my content has been really bad recently, not to mention irregular- I think this might change this! Please tell me any thoughts or ideas in the comments down below, maybe some new name ideas?

Nail art #2!

Hello everyone!
 You might remember my last nail art post and I would just like to show you what I've been doing recently. For this design (from what I can remember) I got inspired by this amazing channel to do the mini heart on the ring and index finger and then the rest of it were, you know, lines I guess!


Then today I did a more bold and simplistic design- on the pinky I, um, messed up but I think it looks like a bow so that was good! Also on the ring finger I did a single vertical line.



Hope you enjoyed!

Updates and a possible change......

Hello everyone!
 As always I am sorry for not posting in AGES! At the moment, I'm not that into crochet. (SHOCK HORROR) I know, I know, but I think it might be best to shake this blog up a little bit.... something a little bit different each time you look on here to keep you interested. I have the Mollie Makes Blogging book-a-zine (a book and magazine crossover) and so I really got into the blog A Beautiful Mess and in the mag a main tip of Elsie's is to "create a blog you'd enjoy reading" and, at the moment, I don't think just crochet would make me read this blog. Of course I would update you on projects and I will continue to crochet however I just don't know how much more I can write about crochet, especially if I'm not doing it that much any more.

I absolutely love writing stories, listening to music and doing other things like that too so maybe you guys would like to see that. Please let me know but if no-one does I think I'm just going to go ahead and see what happens!

General updates & THANK YOU!!!!!!

Hello!
I realised I haven't posted for quite some time...sorry and so much for the organisation post! Anyway, lets start with some craft talk:-

I have (pretty much) finished the head of my dragon, stuffed and all, and I am so proud of it!

It will look better with all the horns, the body, the cheeks and everything but yeah! I need to get a move on though!

I have also got some jewellery supplies from a cheeky Hobbycraft shop so I will hopefully be doing something regarding that soon!

That's all but I do want to say a thank you like so many bloggers/vloggers do just because I have had 884 page views!!!!!!!! It isn't that much in reality but it it load for me so thank-you....... I've even had page views from Saudi Arabia...........it's mind-blowing so thank you!

The Missing Crochet and Lily's Sugar 'n Cream Yarn Review

Hey!!
So, it was last Sunday, and I couldn't find my amigurumi anywhere! I looked everywhere and I couldn't find it anywhere!!!! To this day I still haven't found it! So anyway I really luckily got new yarn to restart my amigurumi dragon and I chose Lily's Sugar 'n Cream The Original in Robin's Egg. It is the most beautiful colour and it works up like a dream! It doesn't split easily at all and it is 100% cotton so it is really soft!Here is a pic:

Just thought I would mention that I did use the app Photo Editor- by Axiem Systems to edit this photo. Anyway, have a good rest of the day and keep checking my blog as I will be posting a What's in my sketchbook? post soon!

Just updates......

Hello!
I do want to say a quick sorry for not posting in ages! Before the anniversary post I hadn't posted in ages so I'm sorry! But I have been getting creative........

I've started a new project! Obviously I haven't yet finished my blanket but I wanted a change from just crocheting granny squares! I decided to finally try amigurumi (yes, you heard it right) and I really like it. It isn't all that different: all you have to remember is not to chain at the beginning of a row and you are all set! The pattern I am using is from All About Ami and here is a picture of her finished dragon that I found on her blog and am making thanks to her great pattern!


He is so cute! You can find the free pattern here. I am making him with a 3.5 mm hook because my yarn is thicker than what is suggested. I will keep on updating you on how it is going!
