Countdown to Craft Central: 4 days to go

4 more sleeps…
start to panic! Resisted the lawnmower as one can see /how hard was that ;D but not the beach. Took my cotton lace yarn along for more snowflakes but did not manage anything apart from eating heaps of sand ice-cream, sand cake and seaweed salad and sea water coke Mini- Golightly served me. Back home finally managed to sew on applications (wow!) on hats I crocheted two days ago… Now that the daisies are going to sleep I want to do just the same… but only 4 more sleeps.Which means I only got three more days of being productive!Hats CC

Countdown to Craft Central: 5 days to go

Snowflake 1I felt reluctant to crochet this morning. It seemed to be a much better idea to indulge in a little bit of gardening
But I pulled myself together and was rewarded with the kind of happiness that only crafting can produce: I had finally found an idiot proof solution for stiffening snowflakes. It was 10 times faster as the others I have tried and not sticky and yucky at all. Yeah!

Countdown to Craft Central: 6 days to go

Diamond Hat 7
A new hat design I have been working on for a couple of weeks now and am very, VERY much in love with! I started with a pink baby girl´s hat version which I found very clever of me – it made designing (slash unravelling ;-)) so much easier! I have a feeling that there will be a lot more Merry Golightly baby hats available in the future ;D. My head is still full with new ideas!

Spring Knack 2014

Spring Knack 2014- I did not really feel like going to a market (or anywhere!) that morning, but the knack is the knack is the knack. Means- however bad I feel, thanks to the customers and other stallholders I always walk away happy !Spring Knack 2014

Buntings

I made a bunting the other day

which kind of led to taste blood (ok, I am watching the last True Blood Season at the moment ;-)- bunting wise

So I made another one I had on my mind for a looooong timeBunting

 

I hung it up a wall in the lounge and my husband said:”i don’t know what it is good for- something dangling from the wall. Stupid!”

So I was looking for another way to use it

And here we go

Upcycled

I wanted to make something that would match the Spring Knack Craft Market. Here we go- category “up cycled”: fizzy drink bottles transformed into vases (filled with kind of up cycled flowers and weeds I collected on a walk with a friend this morning) !
So easy- but aren´t they pretty!

Mission Accomplished :-)!

OMG! When I work on something new it hardly ever happens (practically never!) that it turns out to be exactly as I wanted it to be. So when I opened my washing machine and found that pinky and inky got a new friend- I mean, finally got their foe ;D- it made me VERY happy.Pacman
