Welcome to my blog!

I'm Lori and I love to craft. I cross stitch, knit and crochet and anything else that takes my fancy! I love to make amigurumi and other knitted and crocheted characters.
I live in the north east of England and when I'm not busy with thread or wool I love to read thrillers and watch things on the TV that make me laugh. I have a love of tattoos too and have quite a collection!

Oriental fan bag



This is my favourite creation of all my bags! I used a chart from Joan Elliott's Oriental Cross Stitch book that had three fans in a row for this, the fans were overlapping slightly so I had to make up the edges to make full fans. I used lots of metallic threads and beads to make it sparkle, black velvet to make the the outside pieces of the bag and lined it with black satin. I then I had great fun making the beaded tassel for the bottom! I love my fancy double sided bag!
