Oh baby its cold outside!

Really, I don’t feel like putting my water bottle in bed, forget it. I really want to put him in my living room. To show everybody how cute it is. And frankly, I don’t think the water bottle wants to spend his life hiding under the sheets!


Description:


These are the two pieces separated…


Now already sew up, but the bottle was outside taking is walk…


When he got home,

he just went inside smoothly, so happy to be dressed, that he didn’t want to go out…


He just asked me from the inside; please make me an I-cord, so that I won’t be able to lose my coat never again!

About the color of the photos.
I didn’t make two, only one. But some photos have one color and others another color. The right color is the one from the finished project. The answer to that is what happens when you take photos during the night with the lights from the house, and the other color from the sunshine in the daylight. That is the reason for the different colors.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Almost

The Water Bottle Cozy is almost done.



Now I only need to do the other part that will close the cozy, and that’s it.
Hopefully tomorrow I will have an FO!


Do you remember my first experience with a site that gives lessons in embroidery? Well I send it the photo of the homework that was asked there and my photo is on lesson 3. I’m very happy, in fact I was jumping when I received a mail from Candace, and I’m still jumping just to see my photo in another site. Jumping, jumping, hehehehehe.


Thank you Candace for the time that you take to do those lessons.


See everybody tomorrow…

Break

I just made a pause in the knitting and crochet to make this beautiful embroidery.




I’ve always made cross stitch, but this kind of embroidery is the first time for me.

I’m following the lessons from this site. She explains so well that makes you to wish to do it also.
I just pick some cloth that I brought from Portugal, and I did it.

I thing I’m like a sheep, always following the others around. It’s just that when I see something interesting, I also want to do it.

But truly I’m a little lazy. I’ve got a book that explains all the stitches in embroidery, in cross stitch, and also explains the knitting and crochet stitches, and I never really look at him, only when something like this comes up. This book even explains how to make dove covers!
But in the reality of things, I only do what I see on the net. I want people to make it first and then I will maybe like it and do it also. Is that wrong?

So where do you get your inspiration?
Tell me, so I don’t feel so guilty, of only making things that somebody already made.

Hope everyone have a nice weekend.
