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 […]
Felt
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 […]
Last summer I taught my first workshop at a babyshower. It was a lot of fun to do, and the ladies liked the results as well, so I would love to do more! It was a surprise for the mother-to-be, so together with the grandmother-to-be I came up with this […]
I finished this little fellow! (WIP photos here; photos on Flickr here) It started as a little experiment but I like the result so much I decided to frame it and hopefully someday it will get to be on display in my craft room. Imaginary craft room, that is. I […]
I made yet another cuff. This time I changed the design a bit, removing the button and buttonhole and adding a little elastic to make it fit easily. This one won’t be making it to my Etsy shop since it was made as a thank-you gift for my friend, but […]
I had an idea that just kept hanging around in the back of my head, so I had to get it out of there and into life. This is what came of it. It’s a bit of a prototype, because it has some flaws that I would like to fix […]
Another quick post…. one of these days I will make the time to write a proper one, I promise! This time I just wanted to show you a new felt embroidered cuff I made. This was supposed to be a gift for my friend, but it didn’t fit her so […]
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 […]
Just popping in for a quick post: I will tell you all about my first craft show soon,and also I still owe a dutch version of my last tutorial. But for now I wanted to share the news that I officially started my own business last week! I’m really excited […]
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 […]
After almost a year since the last one, I made another one of my embroidered felt cuffs. This one is made of a soft lavendar purple felt with aqua, lime and pale blue embroidery in the style of a sampler. Now to decide whether or not to put it in […]
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 […]
