Factory...

I’ve not been posting about the things that I’ve been doing. But I’m still working in the back here!


My HF asked me to do, like a full plastic bag of turtles. He thought they were very cute to give away to all his customers!

So I’m feeling like a factory making turtles to everyone.

Some don’t have eyes yet, but I’m working on it.

I just have to say, that this little ‘toys’ are so easy to make, and very fast also. So if you’re thinking in giving something cute in Christmas time, this could be an extra present, just to make someone laugh!
The pattern for this little guy is here.

Did I already write that I’m feeling like a factory?

Yes, these are the purses that I’m working now.

The colors are just soft. And very fast also to make.

The decoration for the outside just comes out of my head. The i-cords are being made and only miss the fabric on the inside and the zipper.

And these are some extra decorations that I use to put out side of the purse.

No pattern to share here, but if you want to have a try just go to this site and you can get inspired to do something different like I did!

Factory, factory….

But on the other hand I’m trying to make a card holder.

I’ve seen so many on the net, but I really think there is something missing there. This is my little baby, from all the babies that I’m making.

No pattern from this one yet, it is still in my head, and can you believe it, it doesn’t want to come out!

Don’t forget Christmas is coming, and here are more ideas for all of you to grab….

Let me go to the corner of my factory…

Work it girl!

Socks and a little bag

The socks for MIL are done.

I just made and extra bag, with the rest of the yarn. So she can put them inside when she travels, or to put whatever she wants.

The pattern for the socks was from here, and the little bag is from here.

In the pattern for the little bag, that is to put some soap inside, I just double the stitches to make it wider.

And I had also to make her longer, so the socks won’t be outside, or too tight.

I also made 2 crochet chains, to the top of the little bag.

I really enjoyed doing this bag. It has a look of cetin.

This will be my first idea maybe for a Christmas present.

Since we are still in September almost October, you still have time to do a pair of socks, and a little cute bag to go with it!


Nice weekend everyone

And more...

Ok, so i've got more photos from this morning...


When she comes down the stairs and starts to look at the living room!

I think she thougth that Santa Claus came earlier this year!

And now that's it!

Happy birthday to you!

4 Years ago I had this cute, beautiful, and wild girl!
I’m getting old!

Today was only a party for the house.
So we had presents in the morning (no photos of that).

And in the afternoon we made a cake.

Yes child labor, what can I say!

So here are some photos.

The big party is for the weekend, with some kids, and the big kids (mummy’s and daddy’s).

So see you now, now...

New? No only old news!

I’ve been joggling from one project to another. I guess I’m on that fase that I’m not really satisfied with what I’m doing, or just getting bored! Or maybe it is something else…


Now news from the 9 to 5 socks. They are going, not yet to leave the house, but going inside my bag.

This is only the first sock that I’m still doing, let’s hope I don’t get to much bored to do the second one.

The boring continues.... with the square crochet pillow for the girl’s room.

Every now and then I pick up the work a little and then do little more rows, boring for now.

But I just wanted to show the detail that is going to allow the pillow to close.

Down you can see a giant granny square and on one top of the square I just made some plain rows on dc to go inside. More details later.

Not so boring.

Are the potholders that I’m doing now.

They are half citrus, they go to my kitchen, and I love them! I’m just doing the second one to be a pair. You can get the pattern from here.

But I really don’t like the way they look on the back.

I think I should put maybe some fabric just to cover those stitches and to give more thickness to the potholder.

So that is all.
For now….

Catastrophe V. Accomplishment

Catastrophe

This beautiful scrubber was made with part of that cotton that Cindy send to me.

I thought that I should use that yarn very slowly, but making the most things to use on me or in the house.

So that is why I made this scrubber, but I wanted to do bigger from what this pattern calls for.

Let me tell you, he has, yes it still exists, almost 5 inches wide! Woo, what a big party I’m going to have in the bath…but as I put water and a little of soap, that beautiful scrubber became a nightmare!

It weighs almost a ton!

It is simple impossible to wash my body with that. It just feels like a giant rock washing my body and no bobbles, no bobbles anywhere!
So now it is drying outside (it has been outside for 2 days now) and as soon as it is dry I’m going to frog, and do something that doesn’t involve water!

Accomplishment

Better news. I made the famous Jesse dolls that she sells on Etsy Handmade.

She has a pattern for the small one, and I gave a try. So cute, and the colors that I choose are simply sublime with this doll.

Now I have to give her a name… maybe Miss Buttons!

And another experience with Amigurumi.

This cute apple.

I just made a keyring with her. And I can see a lot of people getting a keyring at Christmas time as a present in a lot of shapes and sizes!

I’m still doing the 9 to 5 socks for MIL, and trying to design and make a crochet puppy, taking the inspiration from a photo that I’ve got. This will be my first crochet pattern.
