Kindle Fever!

Hello again! :)

Nice to see you again! Because you are such a wonderful reader, today I have a special for you.

Everybody seems to have the "kindle fever". Since January I have such a little reader, too. And because it's so freezing cold, the kindle needs a cosy warm home.

Here they are: The kindle sleeves!

Soft kitty paws

Oh hai!

This time I will show you my dearest wristlets. Especially for the cold season:

KITTY PAWS!

They are so fluffy and soft... I could wear 'em always. Day and night. Week after week... erm... yes. Always :)

In real life they are not as rosy as on the picture. They are more... apricot-colored.

And I am sorry, they are not for sale! *my precious... chichichi*

But yesterday I've bought new wool for new kitty paws - and those will be available for sale :)

hand-knitted and simple

At this posting, I want to show you what I do if I am not sewing or writing. Especially in the colder months of the year I am knitting.

These are the results of the last cold months:



All this scarfs were made in 2010. The longest one is the 2,76m scarf, the smallest ones has 0,60m and 0,86m and were made for kids.

The knitware of 2011 will be posted soon. Too bad, I didn't make a picture of everything I've knitted, so some objects are missing.

Status of the actual piece of knitting:

Scarf with included wristlets - 3/4 already done!
It's made out Gedifra "Belisana" wool, which is a 70% mohair, 15% wool, and 15% nylon yarn. The salesman says, the color is purple (color code 7206), but I'd say the color is lilac.

A picture of the wristlet-scarf will follow after finishing.

Mr. Henson

Hey guys!

Let me introduce you to someone very special. He is shy though I was able to arrange a little photoshoot with him.

THIS is Mr. Henson!


His friend, Mrs. Bark, has already found a new home before I was able to take a photo of her. She was/is a black Terrier.

Mr. Henson is a red one - although the fabric looks strange magenta on the photo. Mr. Henson has a little bell on his dog's collar, so the cats can hear him coming. ;)

And YES, the background is the sweet corn-fabric I talked about in the last posting.

So many ideas, so less time...

Hey guys!

I am working on new sewings, at the moment. This time it will be some Kindle sleeves and maybe some wristlets, too. Pictures will follow as soon as I have some more sleeves to show you.

But I can tell you... the FABRICS!!!!

Cute checked pattern, cactuses, owls, sweet corn, asian silk... and for the trimming some nice laces, pearls, bows and little bells.

I really need to make some pictures for you!

Haha! Let's sew!!

something completely different...

Have you ever thought about nature?
You think, there are too less trees out there?

I think so, too.

For this reason I think I've found the perfect homepage! If you look right here: A BLOG A TREE

There are people, who plant a tree for you!

You just need a blog and you have to write a posting about the "a blog a tree" site. At the end, you need to choose, what kind of tree shall be planted for you and you need to fill out the little form at the end of the page.

THAT'S ALL!
Your tree will be planted! Great stuff, isn't it?

I think, it's a wonderful idea and a little help to mother nature.

Thank you, a-blog-a-tree-guys!
You're awesome!

Back to reality

Hi everybody!

I am back from my Ireland vacation! It was beautiful! A bit rainy, but sunshine the most of the time :) Now I have new inspirations, a head full of ideas and dreams and new fabrics in my stockroom :)

To give a short review:

- Scull corset: since 3 years unfinished
- Surcote (sideless gown): still in process

I hope that I have more time to sew in the next weeks. There are some nice ideas in my head... :D
