Back up the caravan in the stormy weather so of course here’s another octopus.
My husband and daughter saw this rico yarn and decided it would make a great octopus! Ricorumi lamé partie worked on 2.5mm crochet hook.
It’s REALLY shiny! I’ll have to do a video in daylight to see it properly.
Omg I’ve been thinking of making this for ages and finally made him 🧡🧡🧡 I love him.
He reminds me of a Greek god 🧡
Yep, it’s another octopus! This time a rainbow 🌈 one ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤍
My 10yo and 3yo immediately started arguing over it so I’ll just have to made another one!
Made with this DK acrylic rainbow yarn and these 6mm safety eyes.

My daughter wanted to help with sewing yesterday. We’re away at the moment so I was trying to shorten my son’s new jeans by hand as no sewing machine and of course my 3yo wanted to help!
I put two of my hexagons from my EPP project together so she could sew around them. I thought we could turn it through, and have a cute lil’ hexi.
I drew a line for her to follow but she didn’t really get where to put the next stitch. So I ended up drawing little dots all the way around so she could see where to stitch next.
She said I don’t like sewing about 2cm from the end and I finished it off. I thought it would keep her occupied while I shortened my son’s jeans but it ended up with me just helping her and abandoning the jeans for a bit 😂
What shall we make next and what should I do with “the world’s smallest quilt?” 😂 comments below haha!
Also check out some of my other EPP posts here.

I’ve been crocheting a lot of little octopi for my obsessed son so I thought I’d do an Easter adjacent version.

I was really lucky to be able to take part in Andymation’s Flipbook Fest 2025! This year Flipbook Fest has taken the form of creating a Flipbook version of Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring. Absolutely crazy!
All the clips were claimed super quick, but I eventually managed to get one after some had been unclaimed. My clip is 107 frames, 107 individual drawings! It’s of the fellowship entering the mines of Moria for the first time. One of my (many) favourite parts of the film.
BTW Did I mention I’m a massive LOTR nerd?!
They’re my absolute favourite films of all time. I went to see them all in the cinema when they came out and I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched them at home. Basically I love these films and as soon as I found out about this project I knew I’d have to do it! I literally didn’t even care what clip I had, I just wanted to be part of it.
I made a short video about making my Flipbook, which includes my finished Flipbook. Hope you like it!
I’ve reopened my Etsy shop The Badge Cave!
I’ve got lots of 25mm pin badges available as well as customisable badges. I will make your your badge designs for you ❤️
I stopped my shop while I was doing my degree but I’m back and will be uploading new designs soon.
