Craft-i-liscious

Hope everyone has had a great weekend! I have been endeavouring to master the art of crochet (as you can see Janette has mastered it quite well, but she is teaching me well!)... I was so excited to actually make something, my own little granny square!!!- definitely have the 'I want to stare at it all the time' feeling....don't you just love that!?!

Luckily I've been staying at Janette's and so have been able to bounce all of my problems to her... I always like someone to talk to over YouTube (however YouTube has got some amazing helpful videos!). I'm thinking that one granny square is just not enough and so I shall be practising and hopefully ending up with a blanket, please feel free to supply any good pattern links I should try out!! Here is the link that I used and it had great step by step tutorials:

On another crafty tone, this weekend I decided to take one of Janette's ideas of a great 3D picture, using a heart stamp and luscious card I got to choose on our outing today. Janette had a bluesy, tan tone where as I went for neutrals... May need to get me a white frame to pick out the colours a bit better.

Anyway I shall be off dreaming of the wool I will soon be purchasing to continue my squares!

Happy crafting!!

My First Project - Attic24 inspiration!

So today I have taken on my first project... And as is typical with me, it's ambitious.

Since Christmas, when Fiona introduced me to the AMAZING Attic24 blog, I have been obsessed with making a Neat Ripple Blanket. You can find the pattern and gorgeous pictures here...

So I have decided to have a go at creating my own version. I love the bright, fun colours that Lucy from Attic24 uses but it wouldn't go with my stuff!! And I have a recent obsession with grey...

So I'm starting tonight and we'll see how long it takes me...

Wish me luck!

New Year, New Blog...

Following copious amounts of alcohol on New Year's Eve and a love of all things homemade, an idea to create a blog allowing us to share this interest with people alike came about...and so was born 'Little Misses Three'.

We are three sisters, that have a love of making and learning new things in common- be it sewing, knitting or cooking, although we have very different careers. The eldest Little Miss, Janette, is a primary school teacher whose classroom is always filled with colours and fun activities, sometimes influenced by our current projects. Then there is me, Fiona, I'm a nurse who enjoys creating on my days off, which is usually fuelled by something Janette has found on our beloved Pinterest!! The littlest Little Miss is Kirsty, who works in retail currently having recently finished university- she makes pretty amazing cakes!

Today, in between setting up the blog and now writing this post, Janette and myself went to watch her boyfriend, B, play rugby, Kirsty is currently working so wasn't able to join us this time but will be joining in through our posts!! Below is a picture of Janette and me at the rugby looking very happy, despite the cold and sadly a loss on our teams part...

Looking forward to the journey and hope you'll be sharing it us with us!
