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.

Orange & Blue

As I mentioned here

I make these little pals in various colour combinations.

The one above has a vibrant orange-blue theme

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.

Pottery

After years of abstinence I had the chance to take part in a 

pottery workshop. Forgot how much fun this is!

Here are some of the results of a younger participant :

Just love the details on the last one :-)

Flower Hair Band

I wanted to try out how to make this flower.

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

More Soft Pals

This sweet couple has been made for little twins.

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.

Girl's Bag

I once saw a photo of a bag and liked it.

Got the needle out and made this:

Shades of Swarovski

Combining different shades of Swarovski crystals

makes up the centre piece of this unique necklace:
