💀 NEW PATTERN RELEASE – Skull & Bone 💀

This one is a little bit bold… a little bit edgy… and very hard to ignore 👀

I’m so excited to share my latest mosaic overlay design, the Skull & Bone, featuring twin skulls framed within a detailed border for a real statement finish.

Whether you love a darker, gothic vibe or prefer something more modern and home-styled (hello gold + black 😍), this pattern works beautifully across so many colour combinations.

And the best bit?
It’s worked using mosaic overlay crochet, one colour per row, with a full chart and written instructions to guide you every step of the way 🧶

Perfect for:
✔ Statement blankets
✔ Unique gifts
✔ Something a bit different on your hook

If you’ve been wanting a project that’s bold, satisfying, and a little bit addictive… this is it.

I’d LOVE to know what colours you would make yours in?

There’s something about this time of year that makes you pause for a moment.

VE Day… 8th May.

A date that marks the end of the war in Europe back in 1945.

But more than that, it’s a reminder of courage, resilience, and everything that was sacrificed for the lives we live today.

As I was working on this piece, I kept thinking about the stories behind it.
The skies filled with aircraft. The uncertainty. The hope.
And then… the relief when it was finally over.

The RAF roundel, the trails across the sky, it’s my way of quietly honouring that moment in history.
Not just the victory, but the people behind it.

It feels especially meaningful this year as we mark 81 years, it’s a chance to remember, reflect, and keep those stories alive.

If you’re marking VE Day this year, whether it’s a small moment at home or something with your community…
take a second to think about what it really represents 💙

Lest we forget.

Have you ever looked at a photo and thought…
“I wish I could turn that into a blanket” 🧶✨

That’s exactly what I do.

Lately I’ve been creating more custom mosaic overlay crochet patterns and honestly, they’re some of my absolute favourites to design. There’s something really special about taking a meaningful photo, idea, or memory and turning it into something you can actually crochet row by row.

Whether it’s:
• A much-loved pet
• A family photo
• A meaningful quote or symbol
• A themed design you just can’t find anywhere

…I can transform it into a clean, crochet-ready mosaic overlay pattern (not just an image, a properly designed pattern that works beautifully in stitches).

And don’t worry if you’re thinking “but will it actually work in mosaic?” that’s where my expertise comes in. I design it so the detail, contrast, and structure all translate properly into overlay crochet.

You’ll receive:
✔ A full chart (clear and easy to follow)
✔ Written row-by-row instructions
✔ A design that’s been refined specifically for mosaic overlay (no guesswork!)

If you’ve had an idea sitting in your head for ages… or a photo saved that you’d love to turn into a blanket, this is your sign.

Just send me a message and we can walk through your idea with no pressure at all.

Let’s turn your idea into something you can actually hook into life 🧶



Note: I will not create designs that breach copyright rules. Ie images off Google, Disney, brand logos etc unless you have specific written permission.

End of April already…
