Hello friends.  It's time for our fourth instalment of the 2020 Charity Stash Bash and this month I have a super cute project to share with you.  This would be a great addition to the shoe boxes if you are making these to donate.  They are also a great craft fair item and make a really pretty last minute gifts for someone with long hair.

Hi everyone, we all need a little crochet to stop us from going stir crazy during this time.  So I have conjured up ten quick and easy projects that will put a smile on your face. The instant gratification of small projects always cheers me up no matter how I am feeling and I am sure we can all do with some colourful, crochet cheeriness right now.  The patterns are all free and have been selected by my favourite designers, I hope you find something you like. Happy Crochet 10 Quick & Easy Projects This first project is by my good friend Marjan of Atelier Marie-Lucienne and aren't these guys just adorable.  There is no way you could not have a smile on your face while crocheting up these cute little critters. Crochet Ladybirds If you are feeling a little glum, then this gorgeously, colourful, daisy, bunting will certainly cheer you up.  Crochet up a rainbow and hang it in your window and spread the cheeriness.  The pattern is by Crochet Clou

Hello friends.  It's time for instalment three of our Charity Stash Bash CAL.  If this is your first time here at Lullaby Lodge, you can find out all the crochet along details in the link below... This month we will be making these cute soap sacks.  Soap is one of the requested items for the shoe box appeal and while sending someone soap as a gift may not seem appealing, adding these cute little cosies, will make bath time more fun for the children. Make sure to crochet them in lovely bright colours that they will love and remember to leave the packaging on your soap when packing up your shoe box.  I have only removed mine to take the photos, I will be using fresh unopened bars of soap to donate. These cute soap sacks are so quick and easy to make, you could whip up a whole batch in no time at all.  They use only a few grams of yarn, perfect for using up those last scraps of cotton.  They would also make lovely gifts too, why not get ahead of all your Christmas makes.

Hello friends, I hope you are all coping and staying safe.  As many of us are in lockdown, I thought it would be a great time to have another little crochet along.  Something with a different theme each week, perfect for using up your stash. The CAL will be run over at the Facebook Group, where you will be able to post your photos.  Group members will also be able to volunteer to host each week's CAL and I am also hoping to include some guest designers. For those of you who don't use Facebook I will add a section to this post for each week's chosen pattern. Useful links including other CALs...
