Yep it is a snake

Zyzanna was right in the last post. It is a snake. A fun, cute, soft and colorful snake. He looks a bit crazy but he is kind, I promise. I even went out of my comfort zone (no safety eyes!) to make him suitable for children. No parts that can come of, fun colors and crazy eyes.

I hope you have a great weekend! Here it is so dark, so gray and so rainy. Waiting for that snow to come back!

Work in progress: colorful

Using up some colorful cotton scrap yarns. They tend to accumulate if not used...

Any guesses what this is?

Most of the yarn here is Rico creative cotton that I ordered from the UK a couple of years ago. The yarn is nice and chunky and quite cheap. It took two months for me to get the yarn though! So not ordering from the same place again. Not naming any names either. Kind of crappy customer service to be honest...

Woot woot!

It's been a while since I made any owls. The ones I've made earlier have all flown away to new homes so it was about time.

This is Odessa the owl. She lives high up in a birch. She is a sleepy little owl. Loves white chocolate and taking naps. Made from fabric scraps and vintage buttons. Up for adoption here.

 

Have a wonderful Saturday!

It's a foggy November morning here today. Let's hope we get some sun because I have planned a photo shoot today.

The big hook

A while ago I bought this chunky cotton string. Excess from the textile industry. And a big hook. Size 12mm to be more exact.  Going to be a doily rug. It is hard work. Little by little growing bigger.

The first snow

I love winter. On Thursday evening we got this winter's first snow. I just wanted to go out and make snow angels in the snow. Instead I took my camera out on Friday morning to take photos of our winter wonderland. 

Still some autumn leaves left. Was going to pick mushrooms this weekend, but not really possible now. Went for a long forest walk with the dogs instead. 

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Pink AND glitter

Normally I'm not the pink, glitter, girly kind. But at my last visit in the yarn shop I found this yarn. Pink AND glitter! How cute is that? I could not resist. So I bough one skein in pink and one in green. I've started a hat with the pink yarn. Not sure if I like it or not. Maybe it would be better as a cowl? We'll see. Might start all over with something else.

Oh and the name of the yarn is Silver Dream. Acrylic yarn. The soft kind not the kind that feels like plastic and have a sound when you crochet with it.

I'm featured on Supreme teams blog

I won a challenge and an featured on Treasury Supreme Team's blog. Writing about my creative process. Read it here.

Have a great weekend!

Halloween crafts

Sometimes I wish I lived in the US. Halloween is one of those times. Would love to decorate my house wit pumpkins, and eat pumpkin and have kids coming to us trick-or-treating. Oh well. Halloween is not as big here. To buy a pumpkin costs a fortune. Here are some Halloween crafts that I might do anyways. And we are actually having a Halloween party at my job so I might do some Halloween crafts with the kids. 

Links via Pinterest.

Will definitely do the shadow paper skulls, bats and owls with the kids to decorate for our Halloween party.

Australian bears

These guys took a while to finish. Eight bears on their way (hopefully already arrived) to Australia. I'm running out of the mustard colored yarn so there will not be many bears made in the same color.

 

Autumn

Autumn is here. I' the worst blogger ever. But really I have too much to do. Studies, work, family and a business. I love it though and as soon as I can check of studies from my to do list I will have a hole lot of more time. 

I'm quite active at Twitter so follow me there if you want more updates from my life:

It's autumn. Love autumn with all its colors. This morning was magical. We had frost, sun and all the colors of autumn. Of course hard to capture in pics.
