Furry babies grow up so fast! Nala sure has grown in the past 4months! Let's compare shall we? Two pictures of her in the same bed:

FO Friday - A Bunny!

I finally did it! I assembled the pieces of the long lost (hibernating) amigurumi and finished it!
Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to Tinkerbunny!

I think she's one sassy lady! More pictures here! Have a lovely weekend!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year All! Wish you the sweetest new year, that all you wishes may come true!

Happy Apples & Colorful Ghosts

Happy FO Friday everyone! I'm still feeding my addiction on the little Innocent hats. Wanted to show you my happy apples, and my colorful ghosts! Oh and don't forget to enter my give away!

 

Fijne Vrijdag iedereen! Ik ben nog steeds verslaafd aan die kleine Innocent mutsjes. Wilde even de goedgemutste appeltjes, en kleurrijke spookjes laten zien! Oh en vergeet niet om mee te doen met mijn give away!

Hat-Mania! // Muts-Mania!!

These little Innocent hats....
1) they're fun to make
2) they're easy to make
3) you can use your imagination
4) they're quickly finished
5) they're fun to look at
6) they're for charity
7) they don't use much yarn

All in all, making these make me feel giddy and happy inside! My partner in crime and me already finished 60hats! Hat-maniaaaaa!!!

Gifts Gifts Gifts

How's everybody?! Are you also 'enjoying' the fall weather? We (Amsterdam) have experienced a heavy storm with huge trees falling into parked cars and it even got a woman killed when a tree fell on her! Luckily, the weather's been behaving itself since then..

I got a bit delayed this week writing this post since fiance and I were so busy. We had a lot of family and friends coming over and I was especially busy with presents and gifts this week. First, I had arranged a 'high tea' for my friends at my house, and gifted them the Schnuggle packets I made for them. And, since one of my friends just had a newborn baby girl, I also made some cute headbands last minute:

 

Little Miss Impulse

Hey everybody! Hope you're having a great weekend! I'm not really sure what happened this week, but somehow, since last week, I made:

Toys for Nala:

Completely in love

Hi everybody! I am so completely in love! I'm in love with my furry baby (kitten)! She's been with us a few days and her name is Nala. I'll be honest I'm very obsessed with her cuteness at the moment, but I promised myself I wouldn't go bananas with pictures of her today.. So here is one picture of her. And if you're also a furry-baby-lover then here are some more pictures of her..

 

A Star is born!

My lovely friend had a daughter! YAY! I was invited to see her and her daugher and I wanted to give her something special and handmade. I never had made something for a baby before, so I was kind of nervous!

I ended up using these patterns:
Baby boots (ravelry)
Baby hat

And this is what I ended up with!

 

And since I also wanted to make something for the mommy, I ended up making up a beanie for her, then improvised a smaller version for her daughter so they would have matching hats!

 

(grownup beanie pattern here)

 

Mommy was so happy with the gifts, she literally screamed with joy for a few minutes when she unwrapped the matching hats.. Isn’t that the best reaction you can get to a gift? :)

Catnip Ball and it's friend!

My friend has some adorable cats! I decided to make some catnip toys for her.. I had never made anything like it, so it was kind of an experiment! I just took my crochet hooks, used this pattern and when stuffing it I put some catnip (which I stole from her!) inside as well!



I made several sizes since, and gave the toys to her.

She then sent me this video of how one of her furry babies reacted to it!

I get so happy looking at him! It makes me want to make a catnip toy for all kitties I know! Have you ever made catnip toys? What pattern is your favourite?

Snuggles the Pengiun

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

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!

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!)

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!

For the ladies that don't like to sew!

Hello Ladies!

You'd love to recycle but don't love sewing?

I'm definitely going to try this out myself!
