Owls...

Made this owl brooch yesterday. Wore it today to look wise. I think it worked:)

Crocheted owl. Made it up as I went along. Do you remember my other owls?

Patchwork and stuff

Patchwork circle - what should I do with it? Any ideas?

The bracelet I gave as a birthday present to my friend, Barba, the other day

I have a lot of plans in my head these days. Want to make big changes in my life. Wish me luck!

Please check out this giveaway. It's great.

New members of the family

I really like birds...

and a seal with a cape...

Uh, baby it's cold outside...

Knick-knack seal with a new hat to keep him warm

And his mother with a scarf

I smiled when I made these accessories for the seals. They make me happy!

An old memory game. I don't like the smell of it... kind of old basement smell... but it looks beautiful, I think

Some of the pieces. Click to enlarge picture. Love the seventies style...

Last but not least: a doll for a customer in the shop - Astas - in Copenhagen

Crochet and street art

Not the best picture, but wanted to show you the mobile I crocheted some weeks ago

Street art from Århus. Really love street art. Want to make some myself. Do you remember this?

Small card made by me. I sent a greeting for my mother a long time ago. She kept the card...

Silas 8 years today...

Love the colours. Vase from a flea market a long time ago. Aluminia Tenera from 1961 I think

My kokeshi doll has been stylished

Wristwarmers made by my mother from this free pattern

Silas turned 8 today. Happy birthday big boy. I love you...

DIY - Branch mobile

Find branches in different sizes in the woods. Crochet small bands for the branches

Fold the band around the branch and sew it together

Here's my collection of branches

A closer look

Use fishing line to hang the branches from the ceiling

A very relaxing feeling to look at the branches moving slowly

My hometown Århus

A very nice wall painting in Vestergade...

Plenty of birdcages for the urban birds

I made it in time to see the Avantgarden exhibition. Click here to see more (and better) pics

Meyer-Lavigne is contributing to this art project, and I love their work

A lot of different materials and expressions - GrEaT!

Things I like...

I really like this book: "Die grosse Reise des kleinen Mouk" by Marc Boutavant. I bought it in Berlin and it gives me a lot of inspiration

I like coffee and a little snack. I'm looking forward to the autumn leave. It gives me lots of time to drink coffee and crochet

I like to make my own presents for people I love. This small reading bag was made for Zoe - the cutest girl!

I like children's drawings. Sylvester made this for his grandmother. The text says: "grandmother - ok - I love you (the heart means "I love you")

Elephant for Villads

A letter for Christina. The owner of Astas, where I sell some of my stuff.

As I told you earlier my cousin had a son three weeks ago. Here he is. Isn't he beautiful? His name is Villads.

And here is the present I gave him: a crocheted elephant. His parents loved it!

Crocheted cape and children's play

This is my new cape. Crocheted on needle nr. 10. Fast and easy! My next project has to be something small for my cousin's newborn boy. Don't know what to make though... Baby shoes? A cuddly toy? A rattle? Any suggestions?

Children's construction set made out of wood. Nice box!

I remember these wooden pegs from my childhood. Maybe I can use the patterns on the box for cross stitching...

5. Use the linoleum cutter to cut out your drawing

ATTACK!
