getting back to basics with a bit of crochet.
I am just like this...just visualise the chest as my head. I've been overstuffing for a couple of months & it's all just spilling out all over the place.
I'm using the granny squares & this lovely swap as packeruperers. Then I want to make a new handbag & get on with my doodle/quilling idea & my quilt plan too.
Focus.
I can't even remember last Thursday so no favourite from last week...sorry. I've got my pen ready for this week though!
Do pop in & add your link if you're playing along this week.

Oh ... Yes I totally relate to the overspilling head ATM! LOL. That yarn you are using is a beautiful shade! Good luck with it : )
Hmm, we must be on the same wavelength, Kirsty, because both have crochet in our Creative Spaces this week! ;)
wow I am so impressed with those beautiful tiny crochet stitches!
Another gorgeous colour there! Yes, sometimes theres just too much going on up there!
Oh wow, I'm on the same wavelength too! I've never crocheted with the fine yarn before but it's just lovely isn't it? I love your choice of colour. Kx
What a great analogy for the 'overstuffing' of your head! I empathise and ... join you.
Wow - that is a small crochet hook - looks so delicate - lovely shade of blue. Thanks for hosting!
Ok, is it a symptom of being creative??? I too am spilling over with stuffed in ideas and projects and so unfocused! I think we are all in the same boat here.
All your projects sound fab in your creative over stuffed drawes... ooo that sounds so wrong, don't know what's up with me today , I sound like an extra on a carry on film!!
love the colour of your crochet thread:)
soo lovely!!
Love the colour of your delicate crochet yarn, it's so pretty and tranquil I think. Can't wait to see what you are making this time...
KIrsty, I love how you have the ability to work in such minute detail. Your crochet is exquisite.
Wow, so much going on your head no wonder you can't remember last week. I know the feeling.
ps. if anyone has trouble visiting today, it's because we are having some problems with a certain telco not resolving our server addresses properly. This will most likely affect those whose ISP resembles a "large lagoon". It's not you, or me, it's them.
It's always a shamozzle around here, I think I've just gotten used to it. That's why it's nice to check out some other spaces....nice clear ones for dreaming, nice messy ones for validation!
As always your colour selection is perfect
Are we doing similar things again??? Great minds think alike! Thanks for hosting this. I'm loving it!
your crochet yarn is such a lovely colour. All I can crochet is chain stitch- wish I knew more!
wow that list grows quickly. i got distracted by your link to Kates pincushion extravaganza and pouf 26names appeared. my head is apparently a little overstuffed also. so much so i think i might take a nap
Oh my gosh, you have the patience of a saint or something like that. Small needle, fine yarn. My head spins. It's lovely.
Wow, look at that gorgeous tiny crochet, how fabulous, lovely colour too. How on earth do you crochet so tiny! Very clever indeed.

the lustre of the bluey/grey yarn is lovely.
I've got a different kind of creative space this week, I hope it's still acceptable :)
being pretty new to crochet and the fact that I keep forgetting my glasses makes the thought of teeny tiny crochet hurt my head. Looks good though, great colour.
Damn that's tiny!!!
Last Thursday? What last Thursday? On the upside, if you keep going with the fairy grannies, the eyesight will be so challenged you'll barely notice the exploding head situation. (I'm typing from experience).
PS. You do very nice exploding head.
It can be maddening to have so many ideas and simply not enough time or space for them all! I like the tiny crochet!
Looks like the perfect thing to focus on while catching your breath. Lovely.
Go the ridiculously fine crochet!!
Oh it looks gorgeous! I've been wanting to play around with some fine crochet myself... very inspiring!
Good to see your head is overflowing with something other than bodily fluids unlike my house ewe... Your tiny bit a crochet, I would just frame like that hehe..
xo Steph
Oh Kirsty, I can almost hear the busy-ness in your voice.I guess the overstuffing and trouble focusing are the flip side of having so many wonderful ideas. So now, we just need to find somewhere to buy some more free time!
Have you ever seen those delicate crocheted necklaces by Wren Handmade? You tiny stitches remind of them.
Love the metallic colour. Looks like it's going to be fabulous. xo m.
Oooh, quilling. I have fond memories. Can't wait to see it!
My head. My house. Overflowing.
Love that colour lots!
Gorgeous photo Kirsty! I've been having a few basic crochet thoughts too lately. Thanks for hosting! Thanks for the mention too. X
"Just breathe", I say to myself. "Baby steps, baby steps" I mutter like a mad old woman...or..."make a list!"
I think I will have as cuppa and watch Dr Phil xxNick
I love that colour thread/yarn... whatever you call it in the Crochet world!
I'm all thumbs when it comes to tiny crochet hooks. Yours looks so nice!
relate to overspilling in every way-emotionally, creatively, etc. You must be very very patient to work on such fine thread and hooks-do please post up your results...
That is some teeny weeny crocheting going on there and I have it on my list of thing I must learn to do. Love the shiny metal crochet hook. I got a bunch of those in some vintage knitting needles I got from eBay and now I know what they're used for :) Cheers!
I do love such fine scale crochet - so pretty!
And the colour of that thread is gorgeous too =)
Oh sweet tiny crochet in such a gorgeous colour! Overspilling in my creative space this week too, as usual....thanks for sharing :)
Sam
Good luck with the overload:) it will pass. Tks for the chnace to play...
Beautiful as always, and tiny tinily impressive.
hopefully the crochet will do it's trick and help you find some equilibrium! {sp??}.
i feel much the same as u this week, scattered yet determined to keep going with something fun!
i like this colour too.
goodgollymissmolly, i wouldn't call that basics!!
I would love to crochet but I am too impatient I think! Hope you like my creative space this week! :) Its my first one!
C.
They look like tinny, tiny little fairy stitches. Very Cute!!
Kerry
I think I know how your poor head feels too... wah!
Do you think it would be wrong to bribe Kate so that I can be your swap partner - it would wouldn't it, not very nice crafty karma - but I still think perhaps worth it!
Love this colour! Can't wait to see the progress!
I love the colour of the cotton you chose for your crochet project. I hope that things start to return to normal soon.:)
If I had to make room in my brain for one more craft it would be crochet.
love the colour of your crochet
Gorgeous colour! I hope your overstuffedness eases up soon.
Gorgeous colour! I hope your overstuffedness eases up soon.
Crochet! It's on my to-learn list for this year. Love the colour. Thanks for hosting.
Beautiful crochet will come from that lovely thread, delightful!! Just a late post to offer for My Creative Space today, 99 was always my favourite Get Smart agent. Love Posie
mmm super cute crochet :) thanks for continuing to host 'my creative space', I always love seeing what other people get up to, and sharing my own!
Your crochet is gorgeous as usual!
Good to be back =)
Great choice of color - I love it!
I need to learn to crochet at normal size let alone that teeny tiny!
So many plans, so little time, I know the feeling ;)
I love the petrol yarn! :)
I love how the yarn forms beautiful line. Perfect composition and picture.
Thanks so much for providing this blog so that we can share pictures of our work place.
Welcome to visit my creative space any time.
I love that colour, and those tiny stitches, wow!
I'm having trouble focusing too !!
Ooo, I would love to crochet, but every time it ends up looking different...ehh! I have really bad tension control! I really enjoy visiting all the creative spaces, thanks for bringing us all together.
pincushions, what a practical and cute thing to swap!
I say you work that needle girl.
gotta go the teeny tiny projects - sometimes I think I'll do something chunky, but can never quite get there because there are too many tiny things to make!
Love your little crocheted piece. It is so soothing isn't it.....must be cooling down a little....many of us are reaching for our yarn stash.
i've felted a tiny spring pin on the very small patch of empty space on my desk...made a video tutorial if you are interested...this is my first time here! how fun!
I'm always happy to see a bit of crochet!
I'm loving your photography, it just gets better and better ... very beautiful light.
Thanks for another week of creative spaces : )
I posted for the first time! There are lots of great spaces. Thanks!
Always so much to create! I think this meme helps us to complete some of it though as there are people to share it with! Thanks again for hosting Kirsty!
Thanks for hosting this fun meme! I love the color of crochet thread. And I love the little read teaser/triangle.
I'm excited to see what happens with your doodles!
What a talent you have. I have to pop in daily to see what you're up to. Much inspiration to be found here.
Ohh nice crochet! I find crochet always helps me get a bit more focused.. :-)
And goodness, how awesome that so many peeps are being mindful of their creative space. :-)
the shade of blue and the special detail just fabulous .
Your cotton matches our skies...but it looks less dreary on your hook than over my head!
I like the colour, that grey blue reminds me of rainy winter days and how nice it would be to do some crocheting indoors:)
That image is so quietly beautiful. Repetitive actions always help me gain focus! Thanks for hosting :)
Ok, ok, I'm late again, I'm sorry, please don't give me detention!!!
I can't even manage a regular size granny square so can't even begin to imagine how you do one that small!
Love the mini granny. Would be super sweet made into a padded brooch. Hope your weekend is lovely. Melinda xo
Fabulous......love it
After reading all the comments there seems to be a theme of who has been the most scatterbrained this week. There must be something in the air?
Lovely colour in your teeny crochet.
I joined in this week but a bit late. Forgot to add myself after the post and only just realised, oops.
Love the shade of steel blue you are using and that tiny crochet hook. I have not used one so small in some time :-))
