Weekend Creativities

Isabel and I rolled out with the heavy artillery this weekend - sewing machine, needles and what not.

In random disorder - here's a sneak peak at the needle projects:





The sewing kit for the hearts is from Malika & Rosa - they have the cutest fabrics and this sewing kit is so easy that even Isabel who's 8 years old could do them with a little direction from Mommy :-)








Come Christmas - we are ready and in the right spirit :-)

And I also had to earn som yardage for the Stash Buster Challenge

I finished another Squishy Love for a cute 4-year old in Sweden, Alma. It knits up in a jiffy. I used about   70 grams of cotton blend for this one - all left overs.


Almost a year ago my daughter got a chameleon - a tiny cute one. She called it Cola. A few months ago it passed away - the first pet we ever lost - OMG!! What to do, what to do.... Easy peasy - knit a new one.....




It's not real, but it is big, soft, warm and homemade - and it was certainly NOT easy piesy.... The design is from Hansi Singh - and it is genius! I knitted it in Jasper from Berrocco - and the greens are just perfect for the project.

So here is to you - Cola - RIP



I actually finished one more project, but that is in the mail on its way to someone who just had birthday - so stay tuned....

That brings the yardage for the first week of November to 196 (chameleon) + 101,2 (Squishy Love) + 327 (Secret Birthday Project)...
