This is not a free pattern or collection of geeky amigurumi links. It’s a post to simply show off my Daily Prophet leggings from the Harry Potter books.
I picked these up from eBay, as Black Milk isn’t always a cost/efficient choice when Continue reading
Labyrinth is one of my favourite films, and you will often hear my sister and I quoting random lines or acting out a scene in the middle of a shop. I’ve been meaning to curate some Labyrinth crochet critters for a while now, so this is a sort of ‘make queue’ for me, and a selection of Labyrinth crochet patterns for you.
Enjoy these curated Labyrinth patterns, and do let me know how they turned out.

I will need to bleach my hair to lift it enough to get a vibrant colour, then I’ll be using semi-permanent vegetable-based dyes to colour it.
So this is my hair at the start (with bonded extensions):

Favourite purchase from Sally’s today: Shocking Pink nail polish (1003) by China Glaze.
I think I would have named it candy floss pink as it isn’t that shocking 😉
Update: you can now buy this miniature Anna from Frozen in my Etsy shop!
I started making some Frozen chibis for the Christmas tree this year as I thought my girls would really like the idea and thought they’d be pretty easy to make as polymer clay chibis go.
My mother is having a grand Halloween party this year and wants us to go all-out on fancy dress. During my research, I came across these little costume gems…
Ronald McDonald and The Joker costume mashup:
As if this house wasn’t excited enough at the forthcoming Disney Infinity 2.0 with Marvel characters (due September this year), Disney revealed a collectors edition yesterday…
