my creative space: cushion + banana bread

I've been busy... I have managed to finish my chevron crochet cushion which I am really really happy with - my mothers group friends really loved it too ...thanks guys xxx What do you guys think?

:: crochet chevron cushion

:: tested and approved by my little man!

I also made my very first banana bread for my mothers group today... recipe from here! I change it slightly because of my lactose allergy - exchanging milk for soy milk and butter for dairy free margarine.  I seriously can't believe I have never made one before... it was so yummy and everyone loved it! I was a bit worried making something for the first time but luckily it worked out beautifully....phew!! :)

:: my little helper and taster

:: he just can't wait until everyone gets here... yum!

I am also joining in on onegirl - handprinted: a fabric swap! This is so up my ally... woo hoo!! You only have until tomorrow - Friday 21st October 2011- to join up if you are interested :)

  1. Can't wait to see what you come up with for the swap! That looks like a lot of fun. I was dairy free for about a year with my first nursling, egg free for a bit with my third, and gluten free for life now because of my own celiac. You do find ways to adjust! Although I never did like soy milk...!

  2. Wow - the cushion is gorgeous! How did you back it? Is it more ripples or did you sew the ripples to something else to back it?

  3. The cover looks great, guess this means you can cross it off on your 'to do' list now :)

    I bet that banana bread smelled great - no wonder your little kitchen helper has a look of such excited anticipation!

    Katie - I actually decided to have a fabric back with buttons down the middle.. I didn't want to go to crazy with the crochet :)

  7. Great cushion! I used to have a crochet cushion that eventually got so stretched out that I tossed it. Now looking at yours I think maybe I need a new one. :)

  8. Congrats on finishing the cushion - it looks fabulous! I absolutely love the CHEVRON pattern and have been wanting a black and white chevron rug forever! Maybe I'll compromise and do a pillow instead :)

    Can't wait to see what you design for the fabric swap - what a great idea!!
