Le Sweety Pie Bag!

I'm so happy with my latest crochet creation! It's fun, it's funky and very handy!

 

 

It's my Sweety Pie Bag!

Snuggles the Pengiun

I know... I know... Winter isn't even close but I just had to share this adorable Snuggles the Pengiun!!

Let's knit!

Okay, so I've finally bought myself a pair of knitting needles! Yay me! I´m so excited to get started, but I´m terrified as well! Will I be able to teach myself how to knit? Or will it be so difficult I´ll almost immediately give up on it and stick with crocheting?

One thing I know for sure: I will not find out just by pondering on it, so I'll just have to try!

Here are a few projects I'd love to make once I've mastered this skill ;-)

Are you trying different and new crafts at the moment?

Or do you have a knitting pattern for me you'd like to recommend?

I'd love to hear from you! Have a lovely week!

The Joy of Slouch!

Recently I've crocheted two slouch hats.

My Happy Hippy Grey (free pattern here):

And my Joy of Slouch (free pattern here):

We've had a cold-ish summer so I've been excited to wear these, but somehow the weather has been warm the last few days! Yaay! But... now I can't wear my hats! Bummer..

I'm also a bit thrown off crocheting because it's that hot.. What do you think? Should I think of a summer project to crochet? Or should I just enjoy the weather and not crochet? Do you make a summer project lately?  

C´est les champignons!

It feels like we skipped the summer weather this year. We went from winter to spring-like weather to fall! I love the sun and the warmth and everything about summer! So I´m sad! On the other hand it inspires me to craft!

Based on this tutorial I made these cute mushroom-babies!

I love my Mom

I love my mom. And her birthday is coming up. I'm not sure what to get her! She's one of those persons who has everything already! And she'll probably won't LOVE something handmade.. After all, I'm not 6 anymore ^_^

Although... I probably could make something. Something lovely. But what? I already crocheted a shawl for her last christmas. She did love that..

What have you given your mom on her last birthday? Did she give you hints what to give her or did you think of it yourself?

I'll need to think about it.. In the meantime suggestions are welcome!

Isn´t life sweet..

The other day I made this cotton candy bally for a friend of mine:

But I never dared to expect such a lovely reaction from her. She said nothing at first but just gave me the biggest hug! So sweet! Isn´t life sweet? I think it is!

Here´s the pattern link! (free!)

Oh My!

It has been eight months(!!!!) since my last post! I can't believe it has been so long!

To be honest, I needed a bit of time. Time for me. I won't go into detail because well.. I just won't. Everybody has rough patches in their life, and I just went through one I think. I wasn't able to post messages, I wasn't able to read other blogs. But you know what? I can now! I'm here writing this message! Yay!

Next message coming soon! ^_^

Blowing Bubbles

I have this theory: I believe there's a little girl hidden in every one, that sometimes wants to get out. Proffesional lawyer-ladies, mothers, grandma's and yes - even men/boys want to be a little girl sometimes. Because little girls get spoiled - often more than little boys - don't have to act tough and get away with a lot. That's my theory and I hope everyone will embrace that one day.

13 Happy Little Things

Not sure where I found this, but it made me smile so much.. Just had to post it - I think I don't have to add anything really...

Upcycled TV pet bed

Whoever thought about this is a genius, I seriously would have wanted this if I had a kitty!

Made out of an old tv: a lovely sheltered pet bed. So cute!

We love Lush!

We can smell it!

Spring is finally here and Lush has a special package to celebrate called spring-a-ding. It's always so tricky when you're @ Lush and you have to choose what kind of delicious soaps, bodylotions, shampoos, or scrubs you want to take home...

I really really really want to believe that this gift package is the solution for my next Lush visit: I can just buy spring-a-ding instead of grabbing and wanting to BUY everything I see! But.. I know I will be tempted anyway.. and I just can't resist!!

Dandy Handbags

OH how I adore this handbag with its soft-pink vintage look! It's cute, it has personality and well.. it's arm candy! And let's be honest, who doesn't want to own a bag encouraging you to shop around?!

A must-have for this spring's shopping season.

Kitty Dress-Up

How about this for kitty coolness?

I'm not a huge fan of dog-sweaters or kitty-dresses, but I love this dressed up kitty!
