Hug Me !

Another addition to the bear family
is this new pal.
Although he hasn't got a visible mouth
he is obviously shouting to be hugged.

Birthday Budgie


Requested as birthday present 
by a young girl
I took the challenge
and crocheted a budgie this morning.

Attention to Details

Today a different kind of art. 
Two actually.



First the little cute creatures.
Aliens, you could think.

But then you see the given names
and your perspective might change... 

All credits to a talented young artist (7 yrs).
And special thanks to Santa who provided the pink blu tack.

Glass Bead Necklace


A simple but nice set of rose-shaded glass beads.
I think the different shapes of the beads
add to the sparkle.

Blanket & Bear Combo


Matching blanket and bear,
the latter with an embroidered face
making it suitable for small children
as no parts can come off.

Turtle


I feel like a turtle today.
Too much exercise yesterday.
But the certificates received make us all so proud.

Lemon Sherbet


Don't the colours of this necklace remind you
of lemon sherbet? Yum, yum!
It's the mixture of white with two yellow shades 
that makes the necklace ideal for any summer outfit.

This is one of the many chrochet bead necklaces 
available in my shop.

with four little flowers attached.

More Glass


It was very exciting making this flower
dipping the glass first into a huge hot (!) kiln.
I had watched the experts many times before
and didn't do too bad after all.

Glass Tile


I'm addicted to glass fusing
since I attended a workshop in a glass centre 
some years ago.
I even bought a kiln.
Just need the time to get started at home.

Stitched Bear


I do like cross stitching.
It just takes quite some time though and you need good eye sight.
There are a lots of adorable designs available
and I'm sure I start a new one soon.

Teddy Bear


Who does he remind you of?
Maybe Mr Bean's teddy?

Fruit Basket


Made out of garden twine.
Also useful as plant pots.
Or as liner for hanging baskets.
Or for keeping plant bulbs in.
Or for carrying little garden tools.
The possiblities are endless ...

Mr OWL


I saw various owl pillows and wanted to make one too.
It's the first time that I used the colour combination of white, blue and brown.

Just love the details on the last one :-)

And what better use is there than attaching it to a hair band...

Hope it keeps them safe and sound.

Grief Eater


Here is another one of those friendly monsters 
with a zipper mouth that 
can be fed with worries.
See his brothers here and here.

Coasters


Sometimes there is a need for practical things
like these little mats.

Got the needle out and made this:
