Super happy crochet flowers!

It was my mom's birthday last week, and I really felt she deserved some flowers! Buying them however, seemed a bit too easy :)

So I took this pattern, some wooden sticks & a few cute buttons...



... and made some flowers myself!!! :)



They are so much fun to make!



And such a happy gift to give :)



And the most important thing: my mom seemed to love them, and put them in a little vase on her desk!



They looked so cute, I might just have to make some for myself :)

Flicka!

Hej alla! Hur mår du?

Okay... So I still don't know any Swedish... But I did manage to translate a whole pattern from Virka Amigurumi by Mia Bengtsson!! Yay for me!! :)

The pattern was on page 43. The last page of the book. Svårighetsgrad: utmaning. Which basically means: challenging! Because crocheting a foreign pattern alone would be waaay too easy... ;)

The pattern named Flicka (Girl) was the reason I bought this book. Sooooooo cute!!! I’m really happy with the result as well!!!

So here it goes…

I’m going to make this a scroll-down-ta-daaa-thing, so wait for it…

TADAAAAAAAA!!!!

:D






















So what do you think? Is she cute or what?! I love her, erm, huvudbollar!!! :)






















And I think the button is just perfect!















And you know what? I want to make another one!!! Or two!!! In different colours!!!















*sigh*

I love crochet :)

Hooked: business card holder

After a two day time out I feel like I should be well again. Or at least pretend I'm well. Well enough to blog anyway...

So let's start with a little crochet-project I have been meaning to share with you. After combining felt and fabric I really wanted to try and combine crochet and fabric. I thought I would start with something easy: a business card holder!















I expected it would be difficult to join the fabric with the yarn in an invisible way, but it turned out to be very easy using a ladder stitch.















I am not sure if I'm completely happy with the end result yet, but for a first attempt it's not too bad. The fabric is cute as hell, so that helps ;)















I also love the colour of the button! Such a beautiful shade of green!















I don't know about you, but I feel a little better already :)

Colorful Christmas

Buiten heeft de sneeuw plaatsgemaakt voor regen, maar binnen is het nog steeds warm en knus.

















De kerstinkopen zijn gedaan, de koelkast ligt vol en ik ben omringd door kleurrijke cadeaus.

Van robots...






















... tot apen!

















En van leuke opbergdozen...



















... tot vrolijke knopen!





















En om te voorkomen dat ik me zal vervelen: een nieuwe boek!



















Laat de vakantie maar beginnen!

Button Boost

Omdat ik wel even wat kleur kan gebruiken op deze grijze vrijdagmiddag...
