Handmade by Louisa

Morning ☺️ so the first peacock top that was ordered has been received and loved, I was asked if I could do a larger size and longer than my original, which is completely doable as they are my designs and patterns (or normal sizes as I call them anything 16+ uk sizes ☺️ being that way myself) it was a pleasure. Hoping your week is going as well as mine and you have a great day ahead

I have a trip to the post office today sending this peacock top to fly off to its new home. The customer loves purples and blues but doesn’t like greens so the colour palette was changed to meet their needs, resulting in this 😍 Now as a lover of green I’m torn to pick a favourite, but I do love hooking these squares up…and order books are open 😉 have a wonderful day

🥰 doing a little happy dance today, the latest dog, Harry has arrived home and is loved already 💕 I have even finished the second peacock top that was ordered in purples and blues, so will be taking photos today for approval! Then onto Julys last order… it’s been a great month keeping me busy so a big thank you 😘💕 order books are open for august

How are we all today? Hoping nobody melted 😉 I had a fabulous weekend with family, a visit to the WW2 museum in Freiston where they had a 1940s theme going it was fantastic and worth more than one trip ( https://www.facebook.com/wmamuseum ) I even managed to complete the next lot of peacock squares… here’s a sneaky peek 🫣, back to hooking away today, enjoy yours.

Full steam ahead today on purple and blue peacock squares! The sun looks like it will be out like yesterday so I might just have to hook away in the garden… oh poor me 🤭 Hoping your day will be a good one. I’m here if you need me order books are open.

I’m on a roll! I have a dog order complete and heading home on Sunday AND I have the first top completed and heading to the post office today! Another lot of squares are jumping on my hook very soon for the second top … slightly different colours (watch this space ) In the meantime my cup needs filling, which reminds me … mug hugs! Made using cottons so washable and long lasting available over at louisashandmade.etsy.com colours and themes (no copyrighted or trademarked) can be requested. Have a wonderful day

I’ve been beavering away in the background on orders and totally forgot I hadn’t posted anything here yesterday … sorry 🤭 so today I bring you a selection of garments that I’ve recently created and made, all of which can be replicated in different colours or sizes. Some of these are ready to post, check out louisashandmade.etsy.com where you will find these and more goodies. Have a wonderful day… I’m off to hook up more squares 🥰

And just like that… it was Friday again! 🤯 time is flying past sooo quickly, luckily it didn’t beat me… I got to the yarn shop before it closed 🥰 so back to hooking I go, have a fabulous day

It’s a hearts and flowers type of day! It’s my 26th wedding anniversary. So here’s to my biggest enabler… erm I mean supporter of my yarn madness🧶 my husband Ian 🥂. Hoping you all have a great day.

I’d forgotten how messy crocheting dogs was! 🫣 … no dogs were harmed in the process 🤭

I’m still beavering away on orders in the background, but don’t forget I have ready to post items available in my store over at louisashandmade.etsy.com just like these cuties who need to find a new home to fly to 🥰 have a fabulous day

Well that was a quick weekend! And not a lot of crochet to be seen!!! I did however do lots of gardening and erect a greenhouse so it was quite busy. Peacock squares on the agenda today and I’ve bought you some accessories both of which you can find at louisashandmade.etsy.com. Have a wonderful day, here if you need me.

It’s Friday 🥰 so I thought… let’s start the weekend off with rainbows of colour 🌈 all available to purchase and order through louisashandmade.etsy.com. If your size/ colour/ theme isn’t available you can request it. Have a fabulous weekend

🤫 I had a cheeky day off yesterday celebrating my husbands birthday, there was cake 🧁😉 The sun has been out playing again which means certain yarns and projects are on hold, but small granny squares are alright so the alternate peacock top has started! Have a great day, stay hydrated.

Doing a little happy dance here 💃🏻 … a commission has come in for one of my dogs for august 🥰 so today I’ll be picking out the yarn, eyes, nose and stuffing from my craft room. Have a wonderful day 😍

Happy Monday, hoping your weekend was a good one? My veg patch is very happy the sun has come out to play and will be staying a while, I might even get a harvest like grumpy frogs 😉 .
Take care in the sun, have a great day
