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
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...
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
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!
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!
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...
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...
Working on a little bear and now to the making of the face. Started with the white of the eyes made of felt.
Then sewed the black of the eyes on to the white circle
Attaching the ears
With embroidery thread I sewed the nose and the mouth. The expression of the face makes it look like a girl, I think
And here she is - all finished...
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!
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...
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?
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.
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...
