So I thought it would be nice to give away some sort of free pattern here on my blog. Since it’s resurrection I haven’t had any of those. And what better time than this season of holidays and gift-giving? I wanted to make something not too christmassy but sort of […]

After the Christmas Gnome I also made a Sinterklaas! I sometimes link up at these parties: [foogallery id=”3993″] make sinterklaas
After a couple of stressfull weeks I decadently made some time today for doing a bit of crafting. With some of my favourite music on and a table filled with beautiful crafty materials I got to work. There are few things that work this well for me, for clearing my […]
A few years ago already now I made the pattern for this little owl. For some reason it became sort of forgotten, until recently when I used it during a wonderful babyshower and I started liking it all over again. I made so many of them over recent years, even […]
I made another needlebook; this one was supposed to be a gift for Sinterklaas but I had forgotten to bring it with me, so now I’m giving it this evening. This one is a lot more photogenic than the last! Still I’m not sure if I should call it purple […]
EDIT: click here to go to the latest post on my little owl pattern or here to purchase directly. There has been a lot of response to my request for pattern testers: thank you all for your interest! I had a couple of very good suggestions that I will certainly […]
I finished another felt pendant necklace. This time I needle felted some wool onto the felt (like I did with Wobbes) and embroidered over that to create an impression of moss. It worked out pretty much as I had hoped, and I’ll be sad to see this one go… but […]
I tried something new: I made this pendant necklace. It’s made of felt and embroidered with floss. The back is made from scraps of a recycled felted wool sweater. I added a glass bead and a string to finish it. I kind of like it, and I think I will […]
A little while ago (I can’t believe it! It’s been TWO YEARS!) I showed this kit. And now I finally made it. This little guy’s name is Wobbes Wiebelteen (“Wobbes Wobblytoe”), he is a genuine autumn gnome and he is a pattern made by Tintangel. He is available as a […]
When I saw this pin I knew I had to try this myself. It seemed so easy! And it was, actually. I just cut some vaguely leaf-shaped shapes from some nice autumn-coloured felt and strung them together with some yarn. Simple, quick & cute. I am thinking I might make […]
FINALLY got around to making something! How I’ve missed this! Anyway, it’s another bag charm. My MIL was constantly telling me how much she loved mine, so I made her one for her birthday. When filling it with wool, I added a bit of dried lavender to give it a […]
I am really enjoying myself with felt lately 🙂 I needed a pincushion so I made myself one, out of felt, embroidery and buttons (out of my vintage stash which belonged to both our grandmothers) in nice bright and girly colours. The camera went nuts, because the pink especially is […]
A little boy who’s nuts about mushrooms has his birthday coming up, and besides getting him a ‘real’ present I wanted to make him a mushroom. Since he’s turning 2 it needed to be pretty sturdy, and in bright fairy-tale-mushroom colours. (this one is loosely based on the mushrooms of […]
A while ago I showed these toadstools with a promise to explain how I made them. So even though it’s been a while; here is the tutorial 🙂 Note: these aro not toys. I let my boys play with them gently, and the toadstools are ok with that, but they […]
