First, i have been working on a big crochet project, it’s a baby ragnarok dragon from amigurumi artist, you can find here on ravelry and download here patterns. They are easy to work up but there are no instruction on how to sew everything. So lot to fiddle around with!

 

 Got the head, mouth pieces, 1 wing, both legs and the tail done. still so much to do!

 

I also joined a crochet along over at Dawn Toussaint she has shown us some sketches of what it’s going to be not the finished project and that makes it all the more fun!

What have i been up to?

Hey all!

Long time no posts! Sorry about dropping from the planet like that, but sometimes you have to drop off from it to get a fresh start.

I have been thinking about my life a lot the last few weeks and things needed to change. I wasn't happy with myself and how thing where going so i talked about it with my hubby and decided that thing's needed to change for the both of us.

Hes looking hard for a job and I'm working 4 days a week, the work is fun but not something i wanted to do with my life, i want to do something in crafts. So because hubby is a web designer he's going to make me a web shop where I'm going to sell everything you need to make amigurumi's (books, woll, eye's ec) something i always wanted to do. I'm also working on my own patterns (one done yeah!)

Goal is to open up before Christmas.

And my blog has 25 followers! THANK YOU!

Keep your eye's out for a giveaway later today!

The Dutch box swap!

Hey all!

 

How is your weekend going? Mine is alright. Got a visitor today how brought me the box from a swap i joined here in the netherlands. It’s called the box. The swap starts with basic crochet or knitting goodies and goes from person to person, the person how has the box takes things out the box they like but then they put the same amount of items (or more in my case LOL) back in the box and send it on to the next person.

 

And believe me it’s a BIG box! Almost 10 kilo’s!

 

Here are the goodies i got out of the box for myself.

 

 

Very happy with everything  and already put new items in the box and shipping it to the next person tomorrow.

 

Don’t you just love surprises? I do!

Where does time go?

Hey everybody,

 

Do ever wonder where time has gone? Man days, weeks, months are going by so quickly these days sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything!

 

So today i sat down and took pictures of all the projects i’m working on

 

90% done, dormouse in teapot.

 

So fun to make and my FIRST knitting project! Not the best but cute. Have to finish embroidering the flowers on the pot and them she’s done!

 

 

So i also started on the second and third project, a Siamese kitty (for my hubby) and lady mouse pattern from alan dart.

 

 

 

Knitting is FUN! I never thought i would be able to learn it but it did! Thanks to youtube and some great books i did it. I can’t knit in the round but maybe that’s something to learn for the winter ;)

 

Anyways i’m also a lot in our garden, it’s blooming all over, my hubby takes good care of all our plants, he’s the best in gardening! Even plants that die in his mothers garden bloom wonderful in ours!

 

Jup small garden, but wait a few years when my hubby also have a good paying job and we are out of here, moving to new home with a BIG garden for my hubby to play in ;)

 

And of course i have to end this post with our cute cat Oscar, i’m so happy we bought him last September for my birthday, i can’t go a day without him!

 

 

Have a great weekend!!

What's going on?

Hey everybody,

Do you know that feeling that things have to change in your live? Well i have that feeling at the moment, i'm cleaning the house throwing and selling everything i don't need and i love how much space we have! We bought some big plastic containers for all my yarn and crafting supplies. The room that was once our storage room is now cleaned out and is my craft room! Do you believe that my own craft room, my hubby made me so happy!

Anyways i haven't posted in a few weeks because our cat (minou) had some major epileptic attacks that scared the hell out of me! She's only 3 years old and i don't want to lose here to something like that. we found out that attacks are triggered when something happens that normally wouldn't (like a glass shattering or a the mail man drops something big on our mailbox) so we are extra careful now because the vet told us that they do affect here brain every time she has a attack.

Anyways i'm going to post new photo's today going to enjoy the nice weather first!

New job

Hey everybody,

 

I started my new job last week, still have to get used to everybody and getting to know everybody. I do have a lot of fun and it’s so much more relaxed then my old job!

 

So because of this crafts are a little bit on the back burner not completely of course, started on the fabulous big daddy pattern from Nerdigurumi, and best of all the pattern is completely free! AND she’s going to add the little sister to here site soon so you can complete the set!

 

I finished the head and almost the body

 

 

The pattern is easy to follow but so many pieces! So this will be a long term project but i love working on it when i’m watching my hubby doing xbox 360 games!

 

I also started my very first knitting project, i found a super pattern designer named Alan Dart, the most amazing knitting patterns with 2 needles. I never made any toys for knitting because almost all of them use double pointed needles, and i can’t work with those! So i got on ebay and bought myself a dormouse pattern from the alice in wonderland set.

 

I started on the thee post part and as you can see there are some mistakes but bare with me it’s my first knitting project.

 

 

So i’m proud i got this far! I want to finished to pot part this week and the mouse the next.

 

Anyways i will keep you all updated how things go with work!
