Birthday!

This weekend celebrating Sylvester's birthday - 5 years!

Harvest from the garden. Lovely plums

Lavender from the garden. Maybe I can use it for small lavender pillows...

Me. With new headband. Yes!

A new member of the family

Me today. New headband. Having some drinks downtown with Lykke

Bought this cute rabbit today. Silas called it "Kanel" (Cinnamon)

He's the happiest boy in the world:)

A gift from a friend

Finally the rug is finished. Very happy about the fact that my husband loves it too.

Can you image the joy I felt when this little gift was in my mailbox today? It was from my friend Annika.

Inside the box was a pair of hand felted earrings. They look funny and I love them. They are very light and I'm wearing them right now. On the box the sign says: "To Puk, a dear friend". I'm so lucky to have a friend like Annika:)

My sunday

Ready to crochet with the big needle. Still working on the rug.

A lazy sunday with friends. Beautiful girl with her mother's red shoes

My boy... He fell on his bike. A tooth is loose and he's having a hard time eating

Stuff

My friend, Lykke, gave me this lovely embroidered bracelet. Made by women in China. They are involved in the project called Threads of Yunnan

My youngest son, Sylvester, came home from kindergarten the other day with a letter he had written for me. He's so cute. Best thing about it was the envelope:

That's LOVE!

My latest crochet project - a multi colored scarf. They are so easy to make, and these days I need projects that you don't have to think too much about. My mood isn't the best...

Bathroom interior

A detail from my bathroom. Crocheted brooch for sale on http://musimops.bigcartel.com
Crocheted doll made in China - bought a hole box of them on a flea market.

Back in the crochet business

I'm back in business! Right now working on a cover for a small pillow. Don't you just love the colours?

Take a look at my new shop - www.musimops.bigcartel.com
The prizes are in USDollars, but if you live in Denmark feel free to pay in Danish Kroner - just send me a mail

Not enough time...

Hi there!
Haven't spent so much time crocheting these last days. Some friends helped us putting up a wall in our living room and now we're painting and busy tidying to make room for new furniture. I hope to show you pictures of our new living room soon. A few days in a house by the sea might give me time to crochet more - hope so!
Also working on a small webshop - so stay connected.

SUMMER!

Soon I'm going on a vacation with my lovely family. Really looking forward to it.

Still making head bands. If you'd like to buy one, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Wanted to show you this beautiful chinese candy box... Had a nice day in Copenhagen with my father's sister the other day. Bought the candy in my favourite chinese shop.

A birthday present in advance. From Urban Outfitters

Cute vintage hair clips from Astas. Have a nice vacation, if you're going... See you later

New head band

I was going to a party on Friday and needed a little special accessorie to spice my outfit up. This was what I made. Thinking about making more and start to sell them in my upcoming shop...

DIY - small pouch for role play

Cut out a circle of leather or suede. Use a pen to make marks where you want the holes

Punch holes all the way round

Slip a thread through the holes

Pull the thread and tie a bow. Attach beads at the ends. There you go - a nice little gift to give away to the child that likes role play. It only takes 10-15 minutes to make this

How to customize a shirt

1. Buy a simple shirt. This one was on sale for 20 Dkr.

2. Find your scraps of yarn in the colours you like

3. Crochet small circles with two different colours. Weave in ends

4. Attach the circles to the shirt. I used my sewing machine for this part. Now you have a unique shirt and people will surely think that it costed a lot more than 20 Dkr. Enjoy!

Jar cover and rug

Inspired by the book "Lazy Crochet" I made this jar cover. Still love the idea of recycling...

Speaking of recycling: I'm working on this rug made out of some of my husband's old shirts and other fabrics. The hook is a 15 mm!
A happy day to you:)

Little green dog

Here's the green dog, I was telling you about. He was inspired by the watercolour paintings.

Please click to enlarge the picture if you want to see the details of my dog. I made a pattern as I went along. Still dreaming about and working on that book...

Watercolour amigurumi

I was painting with the boys. We sat in the sun and the colours dried fast.

It's fun to make different expressions on the faces of the small amigurumi animals. It's a bit more difficult when you crochet

These painted amigurumi creatures inspires me to crochet. A little green dog is on its way...
