Hello and Welcome Everyone!!!
I'm so Excited to be starting my blog, as this is the first post it may be a little long as I've lots and lots of pictures to post to get you up to date with my projects, but after this first one I promise to keep them shorter and just keep you up to date as i'm working on a certain project.
Ok so first a little bit about me! My names Rebecca Doyle, I'm sixteen years old and live in Ireland. I love to craft, I think I've tried everything at this stage.... Cross Stitch, Crochet, Knitting, Cardmaking, scrapbooking, drawing, painting, jewelery making, Latch hook, teddy bear making............ EVERYTHING...and I love it all!!
My hope for this blog is too keep everyone up to date with pictures of projects i'm working on, share hints and tips and projects. I Would also love to hear from all of you! All feed back would be so greatly recieved! And if you wish to share your own pictures with me my email is
craftbeccaireland@gmail.com I would love to see them and then share them with everyone on here with your premission of course :) :)
For now I will post some pictures off flickr of the best of my work over the last two years or so :) So that from here on I can just keep updating and not posting old pictures! I will try my best to post at least once a day! :D
Happy Crafting!!

Heres the second finished piece from the book Super Cute Crochet which I mentioned in my last post, I made it as a thank you gift for marisa for buying me the book! I'm addicted to amigurumi now!!! Next up is Gromit, I got the pattern for him for free off a website, will post up a link to pattern when I have a picture of the finished piece :),
just finished this today, I'm soooooooo happy with how this little fella turned out! I crocheted him from a pattern out of an amigurumi book called super cute, heres the link to it on amazon:
okay so I just made this like ten minutes ago its an origami style shirt and tie card for men! i'm quite sure what happened to the bottom of the picture but anyway I'm sure you get the idea! This card is amazing!! And not near as had as it looks, heres the link to the video tutorial on youtube which is how I learned :) Enjoy!!
So heres a teddy bear I made about a week ago with the help of a book which I got out of my local library but may well buy in the future as I really like it, it explains everything really well! This is one of the simpler bears in the book called sleepy bear. Its unjointed i.e. arms, legs and head don't move, but I plan on making a jointed one once my local art shop gets in the joints for me :) It took me a day and a half to complete that was had sewing so if you had a machine I don't think it would take you more than a couple of hours!
Heres a great quick gift idea for a friend or loved one. Buy some mints and put them in come decorative plasic or a gift box and attach a label with the poem seen in the picture :)
I stitched this last year just after I heard Micheal had died, as a tribute. Heres the free pattern!
I designed this sampler for mum for her birthday (june 2nd 2010). Samplers are great as they are a one of a kind gift!
