Bavarian-virkning


Surfade runt på bloggar igen (så många härliga talangfulla människor det finns!!), och ramlade över en virkteknink som heter Bavarian. Jag har lite tröttnat på mormorsrutor (så många ändor att fästa!) så detta är perfekt, och blir så fint! Jag virkar med Novitas 7 bröder i 3 olika färger.Detta ska så småningom bli en filt till julklapp. Den blir helt fyrkantig, men hittade beskrivning hur man börjar så man får en avlång filt, så det blir nästa projekt.

Remus


Here is my sweet little boy in a "bed" I made for him, I used Novita Huopanen yarn, crocheted and felted in the washing machine. He loves it! He doesn´t always lay this nicely in it though, when we play he jumps on it /into it so the edges doesn´t stay up anymore so I´ll have to make a new one, and make the edges stronger. But, for a first try it´s ok.

Enjoying fall on the stairs <3

Birthday card for a boy


My friends son turned 13 a few weeks ago. I made this card for him, but I must say it´s easier to make "girly and sweet" cards. And I don´t have a lot of cardmaking and scrapbooking stuff (yet..) . I cut a DCWV paper with skulls and bones into squares, made the "flowers" by cutting small "candyboxes" into shreads and gluing buttons on top. The text says Congratulations in swedish


On the inside I made a pocket for some money.

frosted designs fabulous friday challenge: punches

My neighbour is having a baby any day now :) So I made two cards, one for a boy and one for a girl, just to be prepared. I used DCWV and Tim Holtz paper, Martha Stewart butterfly punches, and Fiskars Heart punch.
I would like to enter the frosted designs challenge: use punches. Thanks for the challenge!

Here is the boy-card:

Crazy January challenge 2012

I was "blogsurfing" in june and came across "crazy january challenge" in many blogs, and curious as I am, I had to find out what it was. So I came to THIS blog, and found out it´s a challenge where you start a new cross stitch project every day from 1-15 of january and then you have the rest of the year to finish them. Of course I was too late in june, but I hoped that there would be a new challenge in 2012, and there will! So I´m in, but I choose a modified version. I start 15 projects, but I also continue with 15 UFOs, and try to get them all done i a year. The problem is, most of my new kits are BIG projects, and so are the UFOs. So I don´t think I will get them done, but I´ll try. I put all projects in a box, there´s still a few months time to decide what to make, and I will keep working on some UFOs. All in all, I think 2012 is going to be an interesting stitching-year!

Virkad väska


Min dotter skulle på kalas, och två dagar tidigare ramlade jag över beskrivningen till denna väska hos tangled happy . Kolla in hennes sida, helt underbara greijer. Hur som helst så tänkte jag att väskan blir perfekt att lägga presenten i istället för att paketera som vanligt. Då blir också "omslaget" en del av presenten.


Jag virkade en blomma efter ett möster i en gammal Novita-tidning och sydde i en stor pärla i mitten.


Och naturligtvis måste Kvalitetskontrollant Remus inspektera :)
