Crochet pencil case

2008-12-15T21:59:00.003+01:00

After losing another pencil (I like to solve suduku on the train or in the bus) I've decided that something has to be done with it ! (losing thins).
I grabed my new hamanaka crochet hook and made this pencil case.

Paput the elephant

2008-11-12T17:23:00.001+01:00

This is my another crochet creature - soft little blue elephant. It was a christmas gift for my Friend. She called him 'Paput'. Ahm.... I guess 'Paput' doesn't mean anything, it's just a funny polish world :-) Nevertheless, here it is:

Polymer clay fun

2008-10-21T23:34:00.003+02:00

This weekend I've tried something new - polmer clay sculpting. I've made little, blue pussy cat. I know, he has a strange look, almost as he was sick or somenthing...

Next, using millefiori technique, I've created a polymer clay cane with daisy motive. Then I sliced it to the round beads.

And this is cute little clay piggy - made by Piotr - he's a real artist!

Here is some very good tutorial how to make polymer clay beads (not mine, found on youtube.com)

Cool package from Okinawa

2008-10-21T22:39:00.003+02:00

Yesterday I received really cool mail ! (well, to be exact, my boyfriend received it, because he is the owns the credit card ;-P) It was Hamanaka crochet hook set. It cost me a lot of money, but these are so cool hooks. It's a set of three double-ended hooks, so, in fact, You get six crochets in different sizes, and the grip handles are comfortable and ergonomic. And these cute, pastel colors.....

It's been a while....I have neglected my blog, I will try to get better in future and add new posts more often. What I want to show You this time is 'Kamasutra' cross stitch picture. Yeah, a sexy one ;-) It's a gift for my dear boyfriend.

End of exams

2008-02-11T23:38:00.001+01:00

I've finally finished my end-of-term examinations without any repeat exams ! hurray ! Now I intend to start a new cross stitch projeckt - this nice african woman with lion.

Additionally I have another x-stitch picture in progress, but I won't reveal it until it's done. This is suppose to be a suprise for my sweet P.

Violet doily finally complete!

2007-12-27T21:14:00.001+01:00

During short pauses of my christmas gluttony I've finished violet doily. I think it's quite nice.

Looks a bit uneven, because the pictutre was taken at some angle.

Merry X-mas!

2007-12-24T15:37:00.001+01:00

Ho ! ho ! ho ! Merry to all readers of my blog !

Christmas gingerbreads

2007-12-23T22:00:00.001+01:00

I spent this evening in the kitchen baking christmas gingerbreads with my boyfriend. They came out really delicious!

Snowflakes

2007-12-20T22:17:00.001+01:00

Some snowflakes I've made a year ago for Christmas. They got lost somewhere in the drawer, my Mom has recently found them. I washed them, starched them and eternized their existence by camera :-)

:-)

2007-12-04T00:34:00.001+01:00

As You can see on the counter there are more and more guests. It pleases me very much ! Still working on my violet doily - pictures will be posted soon!

In progress

2007-11-25T15:05:00.001+01:00

Now I'm crocheting violet doily, it goes really slow, I don't have much free time...but I'm thinking about something new to make already.

Something from cross stitch

2007-11-25T14:41:00.001+01:00

My first cross stitch work of art ;-) This is a siberian tiger, chart was from magazine 'Hafty Polskie' , I used Ariadna thread to complete it. I'm deeply unsatisfied with this embroidery because the floss converter in 'Hafty Polskie' is useless! The preview's and real picture's colors are completly inadequate, but the moment I realised this the tiger was half done, so it was too late to quit and waste my effort...

Cell phone cozy and headphone case

2007-11-25T14:19:00.001+01:00

Cell phone cozy and headphone case - I used tips from Fatum, from wizaz.pl handicraft board.

Crochet toys

2007-11-25T14:12:00.002+01:00

This is my first crochet thingie ever :-) I saw a similar crochet rat on the fair, but it was so expensive....really overpriced. I decided to buy some yarn and make one all by myself. With a little help of my boyfriend and internet I have learned the basics and without any pattern I have created this little animal.

Goose - from some chinese amigurumi book.

Crochet doilies

2007-11-25T12:49:00.002+01:00

Let's start from some doilies. This is my first one.

Oh, this one is so imperfect, double crochets in the center are loose-fitting so it wrinkels.

Easter doily with chikens. I like this one very much.

Last one, made of thick thread, it looks better in reality.
