SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
i altered the pattern of the cream white dresses a bit and out comes this.
Do you like it?
I am planning to do more.

these little dresses/long tops came out.
working with the fabric was just great. it is a soft cotton and has such a a lovely cream white colour with small white flowers print.
i made three of these. And although all might look similar on the first sight, they are a little bit different to each other the way i attached the little batches of antique lace on it.
They are also great for Valentine for the girls with the little heart ribbons, don´t you think?
please check out my etsy and artfire for them
Learned how to kill acrylic with steam blocking in this afghan (trust me, it was a good and necessary thing):
Learned seamless construction and raglan sleeves in this cardigan:
Learned how to graft a seam with this purse:
Learned how to modify a crochet pattern to suit me with this top:
Learned it's okay to frog a nearly-completed garment when it's just not working out right with this top:
Learned cabling with the same top:
Learned how to insert a zipper in a small project with this purse:
Learned to make a thumb gusset with these mitts:
In 2009, I completed a total of 22 projects and used this much yarn:
A new year, and new techniques, await!
Hello all!
i made two new little dresses for the Petits during christmas holidays,
available in the shop.
I could reuse the green fabric again. Now, there is only a little scratch of it left.
I
am happy i could use it for some good projects, but i am also glad i
don´t have much more left. Unfortunately i have to say,it was a
difficult colour and fabric to use.
there are actually lots of little cute goldfishes printed on the fabric, but all the gold and green and
red colours make it look like a little christmas tree. i will store this fabric until next year Christmas season i guess ^_^
love,

music: let´s stay with Disney this time. Pocahontas - Colours of the wind
i had this fabric for such a long time now, received it with a swap and had no idea what to do with it.
Finally i found a project to use it for. Antoinette looks absolutely pretty in it, though Emi doesn´t seem to happy....
Maybe because she knows, that she has to share it soon.
love,
