Growing paper

This year I've used Growing Paper for Christmas cards. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm so curious as to whether it works or not! I'll keep you posted!

DIY Envelope

I made a small, cute little package for my mother. My first ever self-made envelope from a beautifull piece of paper from my paper-collection. Adorable! Mum loved it too :)

My First Zpagetti

I recently finished my very first projects done with Zpagetti, a cushion and a basket. The cushion is made with a thinner thread and 12mm needle, it's done in a hexagon pattern. The basket is a thicker thread and crochet with a 15mm needle. Because of the thick thread the basket is very very firm, I love it! Perfect for all this loose stuff lying around the house. Maybe I'll make another... The Zpagetti works very fast and is perfect for quick projects. It's hard work though! I can still feel the muscles in my shoulders and hands from the pulling and grabbing!

Finally: Pillows!

I have had these lying around for quite a while, done with the knitting, but not in the mood for putting them together. Now, finally, after continuous nagging by my boyfriend, who was fed up with the ugly pillow-fillings lying on the sofa, I have finished them! Although they still need some final-touching, I think they are quite well enough for a photo! I'm quite proud, as I'm not very good at finishing things I've started. Yay me!

Birdies

Thank you Grietjekarwietje for the pattern for these supercute little birds! I absolutely love them and after making the first I couldn't stop myself to make two more. I'm so glad I started crochet, there are millions of things you can make with it, but the stuffed animals are definitely at the top of my list for things I love to make.

iPad Sleeve

 

It's finished! Finally! I've had my iPad for some time now and I decided I wanted to make my own sleeve instead of buying one. However, it took me some time, first to decide on color, then on pattern, then on lining. But this is how it turned out! A blue acryllic knit with felt lining. Now I can take it with me without getting scratches on!

Vase Corsets - The Light Blue Cotton Series

I've been working on these and now have several dressed small vases in my home. They're really cute! The flowers are daisies, so you can guess the size. The thread is a 100% pure cotton, in a light denim-color. I love the texture of it! I'm thinking about selling these, but they are a lot of work to make, so I'll first have to figure out an easier (and quicker!) way to create them, to keep them affordable. Please let me know if you're interested! I now have several on supply.

Photoshop Fun

Just having some fun in Photoshop after making the pictures of Rauls brand new knitted hat. Inspiration for this comes from Fine Little Day, where faces are drawn on, well, anything!

Hat for Raul

It's finally finished! A cool new hat for a cool little guy. My colleague Menno got his 4th (!!) son recently. I decided I wanted to make the little one some head-gear (because even in summer it can get really cold with the wind and rain in the Netherlands). Congratulations Menno and Liane! Hopefully this hat will actually stay on (contrary to the socks) ;)
