Little lamb

Hi there! I finished this little lamb this morning. Isn't she cute? Found her in the book by Tamie Snow: Tiny Yarn Animals. I love that book, and the lamb is the first animal I've crocheted from it, but certainly not the last. Have a nice day!

Creative!

Here's the headband I was working on in the weekend. It turned out quite nice, I think. So that was me being creative...

My youngest son, Sylvester, is going to a birthday party tomorrow. He's going with his kindergarten, and they don't bring presents to the birthday child. But he's creative and made a little drawing for his friend. He made an envelope and wrote "To Sammi. From Sylvester" on it. He's so loving and thoughtful.

Nature's creative! Spring is so overwhelming. Before you know it the magnolia unfolds, and a week or two later the leaves fall of. You just have to be sure that you enjoy it while it lasts...

Childhood Nostalgia

I don't know what it is with me these past few days... It seems that I'm looking for old memories in everything and finding traces of my own history in different items found in the basement or in the boys' room. These are my first shoes...

I was born in 1974. I remember this holder for the milk cartons. We used it every day and you can see it on photographs from my birthdays, when I was a little girl. Why don't we use these anymore?

Long weekend

It's been such a nice weekend - with time to do some of the things I like...

Drinking coffee in the garden. Baked a carrot cake, but I didn't take a picture of it, sorry...

Doing some tidying. Found some of my mother's old books - with bite marks from her dog.

My mother's handwriting - 10 years old. Thinking about her today since it's Mother's Day...

Crocheting in the sun. I love it!

Working on a head band. I'll show it to you when it's finished.

Looking at the cat taking a nap in the chair. She looks cute. But she's a dangerous killer! As we ate our supper she came in from the garden to show us the big mouse, she just caught.

A snail for you

This cute snail was made from a pattern provided by Roxycraft. You find the pattern here. I have to finish my coffee and go to work. Talk to you later...

I'm back on the blog!

Yeah, I'm back... And I'm sorry I haven't been so productive lately... Today I went to a flea market, where I found this little happy fellow. My husband bought it for me:-)


I made a scoop at the flea market: found a small Mulberry leather bag for the price of 10 Dkr! It's beautyful and looks all new.

Finished this small spring ballerina yesterday. She has a big nose and she's a little shy. But when the music starts to play she dances and forgets...

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend - I know I did. So long...

Easter break

I'm simply enjoying the easter break. Spending time in the garden. Playing with my children. Drinking coffee on the bench in front of our house. Don't feel like crocheting these days...

My GoCard

This is my GoCard - I'm very proud of it! I hope you've seen it in one of the 400 cafes with GoCards (in Denmark). If you found my card please write a greeting to me. Send it to me:
Puk Hyllested Hansen. Præstøvej 213. 4700 Næstved
Remember to write who you are, your adress and where you found the card. I promise to answer!

Amigurumi

Hi there! I have to go to work in 5 minutes, so this will be a very quick post. Just wanted to show you my latest amigurumi creature. He's just sitting there on the bench, patiently waiting...

For those of you who live in Denmark, there's a free postcard for you in cafes all over the country. Just check out if they have GoCards before you order your latte, and then find the postcard with a little crocheted bear. He says: "Vil du med på café?" I hope you find him! Have a nice day.

A cat and a question

If anyone remember a cat I mentioned in a previous post, it's here for you now. It looks kind of Japanese, don't you think? The coloured fabric is from an old retro curtain, from the sixties or seventies.

And this... What is it? Have a guess. Post a comment here with your answer, and there will be a good prize to win, if you come up with the right answer.

Koala for Silas

Here it is! The koala for my oldest son, Silas, I was telling you about yesterday. It will be a surprise for him when he gets home from gymnastics today. I'm looking forward to seeing his happy face when he meets his new friend. This koala wouldn't have been so cute if I didn't know about Mouk. Thank you, Marc Boutavant, for the neverending inspiration.

Easter Bunny

I made this easter bunny a couple of days a go. The small pups in the pocket are made of chocolate. My oldest son likes the animals I make, and now he wants a koala! If it turns out well, I'll post it here:)

Panda bear

I got the inspiration for these panda bears from the children's book about Mouk, who travels round the world. The book is illustrated by the French artist Marc Boutavant.

The pattern for the pandas is inspired by the ones from Mollychicken. I'm working on a cat. Maybe it's ready for you tomorrow. Must go to sleep now...

Patchwork scarf

A patchwork scarf made of vintage and new fabric in fresh spring colours. I saw the scarf in the Danish interior and fashion magazine BoligLiv. My friend, Lykke, liked it (the scarf) :)
Have a nice day!

My day

It is such a wonderful day today and I want to share it with you. I made this cute easter bunny by looking at the "Love bird tutorial" at Mollychicken's blog. I thank you, Lynn Roberts, for your beautiful designs that inspires me so.

Spring is everywhere in the garden now, and I love it!

This is where I had my lunch. Enjoyed the sun and my day off...

I snook into the neighbours garden and took a picture of his lovely flowers. Don't know what they are called in English - in Danish their name is "Dortea-liljer" (Dortea lilies).

These are the freckels that will cover my nose and cheeks after a few days in the sun.

A glimpse of my day - hope you liked it. Feel free to leave a comment. It makes me so happy to hear from you.
