I am going to loose this game of yarn chicken 🐓. I thought I had 2 more yarn cakes but alas it was not to be. How should I finish it? 🌈 add cream each side and just use this as a central panel 🌈 frog it and start again on a smaller project 🌈 carry on in a grey 🌈 just give up and put it in a cupboard with one of my other WIPs I just don’t know. Answers on a postcard please or just the comments. #yarnchicken #crochet #crochetaddict #filetcrochet #toriastrinkets #whatshouldido

Happy Monday all, I’m still poorly and off to see the doctor soon. I’m hoping to get a few more last minute Christmas items up on my page today but otherwise it’s staying in bed and getting well for me. #octopuff #positivevibes #selfcare #poorlysick #toriastrinkets
Afternoon all, I have just listed my earwarmer in my Etsy shop. These will make a perfect stocking filler and are great to just put in your pocket to keep for a cold day.

Lots of colours available just drop me a message and I can show you my current yarn selection. https://octopuffylane.etsy.com/listing/1631748621 #earwarmer #earwarmerheadband #earwarmerseason #earwarmersheadband #toriastrinkets #stockingfiller #winterfashion #supportsmallbusinesses
Just one of these sun catchers with turquoise chips available at the reduced price of £5 (normally £10) plus p&p. There is some slight discolouration on the chain, hence the discount. #suncatcher #turquoise #crystalhealing #toriastrinkets
I’ve listed more Octopuffs in my new Etsy Shop Octopuffy Lane. They all look a little lonely with only two listings on there but when you only have one product but in a multitude of colours it’s difficult to do it any other way. https://octopuffylane.etsy.com/listing/1611660384 #octopus #octopuff #amigurumi #secretsanta #stockingfiller #stockingstuffers #plushie #kwaii #crochet #supportsmallbusinesses #crewe #supportsmallbusiness #christmasgiftideas #christmasgifts #cheshirebusinesswoman #handmadecheshire #handmadechristmasuk #cheshire #toriastrinkets

I may be poorly but my crochet 🧶 hook is not far from my hand. I’m making the 6 day supernova star blanket by Betty McKnit.

I have decided that the weather is not my friend at the moment. Last week we had torrential rain 🌧️ at Betley Show and now it looks like it’s goi g to pour it down with rain ☔️ tomorrow at Sandbach Makers Market. I will, however, prevail and brave the rain like we do in England 🏴 and the rest of the UK. I hope you can join me tomorrow and that we get some brief spells of ahi shine.

Mummy I am so cute. You really don’t need to crochet as I need love. But look at the new collar you made me. ❤️❤️❤️ #mybuddyandtink #buddythepoodle #poodlesofinstagram #poodle #toriastrinkets

Thank you to everyone who came and supported me at Congleton Makers Market today. It was great to be back and to see everyone. I will be back at the end of June and at Sandbach Makers Market on the 10th June if you can’t wait that long. Also thank you Proper Scran for one of the most amazing burgers I’ve ever tasted.

I finished what I thought was going to be a franenblanket last night. I didn’t like either of the yarns to crochet with but I’m really pleased with the outcome. Thank you Betty McKnit for the fabulous 6 day superstar pattern. This is the link if you would like to try it for yourself. Her patterns are great and there are some fantastic YouTube videos on how to start it if you check out her channel. Happy crocheting everyone. #crochetaddict #crocheting #bettymcknit #6daykidblanket #6dkbsuperstar #toriastrinkets #lovecrochet #starblanket #yarnaddict
Did you know that today is vitamin C day. National Vitamin C Day was created so that we can appreciate and learn all about the different ways that vitamin C can benefit our health. Vitamin C is also referred to as ascorbate and ascorbic acid. It is found in a number of different foods, as well as being sold as a dietary supplement. It is an essential nutrient in terms of producing a number of neurotransmitters and repairing tissues. It was discovered back in 1912. Sixteen years later, it was isolated. Then, in 1933, it became the first vitamin to be produced chemically. So why not treat yourself to a vitamin c pick me up for your skin with one of these fabulous offers. #vitamincday #vitaminc #tbsah #selfcarefirst #bodyshopuk #bodyshopathomeconsultant #supportsmallbusinesses #cheshirebusinesswoman #toriastrinkets

I really want to finish making this blanket but Buddy says no!
