Who likes bunting?

My latest creation is pink and white bunting.

This is a traditional crochet granny square made into a triangle. This was my first time blocking my work so it was handy having a piece of plasterboard to stick the pins into. I did have a bit of help from my assistant, Mr Colourway.

I had to make a lot of triangles

This is the blocking technique which took a day to dry

And this is the finished bunting

It looks really pretty if I do say so myself! Worth all the fiddly bits and waiting for it to dry.

If you would like me to make you some bunting like this or similar just ask!

March 2011 Competition

To celebrate reaching 800 likes, I decided to have a little competition.

Its quite simple, take a look at the picture and guess how many buttons are in the jar.

There is a maximum of 2 guesses for each person to keep it fair.

Just add your guess to the bottom of this blog or email it to me at kimscolourway@hotmail.co.uk if you don't have an account or would just prefer to do that instead. I will then add your guess and name on your behalf.

If by any coincedence there is more than 1 person with the same guess and it happens to be the correct answer, I will put their names in a hat and draw one out.

Competition closes on 31st March 2011 at midnight 12pm GMT and is open to anyone in the UK. The winner will receive some Easter items from me.

Good luck!

A little bit about me...

I have always been creative as anyone who knows me will tell you. I have done so many crafts in my life (so far) and I'm sure I will be doing many many more!


I am from South Africa but moved to the UK in 2002 and have been here ever since with the exception of a couple of holidays. I have 2 small children who occupy most of my time as I am a stay at home mother but I consider myself as a work at home mother! It is a full time job looking after a house and children and now a business too!

I started my business in 2008 when I learnt how to crochet. I got a few request for items and I thought this could turn into a business....it did! It wasn't always called Kims Colourway but I am settled with the name now. 


I make something everyday so there is never a day that I am not conjuring up my next project from an idea. I find inspiration in so many different places and things, not just for crocheting items but other forms of art. I wish I ad the time and space to do everything I want to do but for now crocheting will have to do.


So I hope you enjoy my blog and seeing the new projects I complete. Become a follower if you like, but never be a sheep...be unique!
