I haven't been out today apart from swimming lessons this evening, it has been far too cold, brrrrr! I was going to find the local cake decorating shop but thought I'd go on a day when its a little warmer and not so wet. So I have stayed in today and caught up on boring housework which has been a little neglected while I have been learning how to crochet! So not much made today.
Firstly, I tried to do Anais another headband after yesterdays efforts were too small. I used a different pattern this time which means the headband should fit all sizes! I attached the chrysanthemum flower to it which I made earlier in the week.

I made this flat flower although Anais said it looked like a star. The tail is hanging off it still, I didn't sew it in so I can sew it to something else in future.
And finally I made this little pouch for my trolley token.
Before Christmas my trolley token key ring broke (1) :-( I was gutted as it is really useful for when I go shopping, it was also a present off Anais which she picked as it has little hearts on. You can see it is well used as the enamel is coming off.
Since it broke I have been throwing it in my bag, so each time I need to use it I have to root through the bottomless pit that is my bag to find it!
So while I was perusing Youtube for crochet videos I found a tutorial for a tiny coin purse and though it would be ideal for my trolley token. It didn't take long at all to crochet this and I attached the pouch to a key ring finding (2).
Now I can attach it back to my keys and keep it in its pouch (3) so it is easier to find when I go shopping!
If you look closely there is even a little button hole for the button to go through (4). Cute and functional!
