Nursing Necklace

I've made a new nursing necklace

for a little baby boy.

Other colour variations can be found here and here.

Xmas Angel 2

I didn't get enough time to make more angels

but here is the 2nd version

of this year's Xmas angel designs.

Version 1 can be found here.

Stripy Yellow

One more grief eater jumped off the needle:

This time with an orange heart

and flowery eyes.

Sister Doll

This little doll has now got a sister

wearing a little skirt.:

With no buttons or any other attachments

the doll is suitable for very small children

to play with. 

Xmas Angel 1

This year's first version of Christmas angels.

Ideal to use as tree ornament 

or as extra attachment on a special present.

Monster for Lilli

Whoever receives a grief eater 

seems to know somebody 

who needs a grief eater...

Those pals then get personalised

with the person's name

so it becomes a very special present:

Pink Baby Bear

 I made another pink bear

for a little baby girl.

Soft Eyes

This time I made a grief eater 

with soft eyes (instead of buttons).

It also got personalised with the name of the new owner

who is probably the youngest among the recipients of those pals.

    

More grief eaters and how they work: here .

Flower Bookmark

Just one of those ideas

that I saw somewhere

and had to crochet immediately.

And soo useful in a house

where several books are read simultaneously.

Security Blanket Baby Bear

It's been a while since I made the last one 

of these snuggly baby toys (see here and here).

The all turn out a bit different

giving each its own character.

Wise Owl

Cross stitching is a kind of therapy.

Relaxing & Calming 

(unless the thread is tangled)

and

Rewarding 

(when you see the picture appear).

I adapted the original pattern

with my own colour choices.

I'm very happy with the result

and so was the new owner.

MyBoshi Craze

Following the MyBoshi hype 

I have created the first couple of stripy hats. 

Now the cold winter time can come!

Ears are covered.

BFF Necklaces

Did you know that the crochet necklaces 

also qualify as BFF necklaces?!

(BFF = Best Friends Forever)

They do!

Made upon special request

after I had finished the first one.

Now one of the necklaces will travel to the other side of the world

as sign of a loyal friendship. 

Purple & White Monster

I just can't stop making them ...

I've recently written down the pattern for these grief eaters

which is now been tested by others crochet fellows.

A Long String

... with lots of beads, 

this time not crocheted

but just wrapped around the wrist.

And it could also be worn as necklace!

Colourful Bracelet

The necklace has been accompanied

by a matching bracelet.

A pity only that I attached a wrong closure

(it doesn't close!)

and need to replace it with a new one.

Oh well.

Colourful Necklace

Using hundreds of tiny colourful opaque 

Rocailles (glass beads) with a pearly shimmer 

I made this chrochet necklace.

The start of the crochet necklace is often a bit difficult

but once this is done it becomes easier.

Next Monster

They are hard to resist those little grief eaters.

This time I made a blue/green version.

A white/pink one is already hanging on the hook.

I have also been busy making other things 

in the last couple of weeks.

Pictures coming soon.

Pink Bear

The little baby-girl turned 5 months

and I made her a pink bear as a special gift:

She was very interested and examined the new fellow.

Pumpkin Season

The autumn colours spreading out now are spectacular. 

That is my excuse for bying this variegated wool

which I turned into a triangular scarf using a newly discovered pattern.

The multicoloured tree leaves out there in the nature 

get topped by the vibrant orange and green shades of pumkins.

Especially when they are home-grown:

New Inspirations

I had a little break at the sea side

and came home full of new ideas.

Blue Beads

Hundreds of blue beads on a thread

slowly formed into a necklace

and a bracelet.
