Love, Rage & Liberation

I love tote bags. Love them and need them. I always carry a tote bag with me in my purse/handbag (what ever you want to call them). I also love leopard print. And the saying: Love, Rage & Liberation. And I love Pippi Longstocking. So this tote bag is next to perfect.

And yes..that is my foot in the picture

I thought the back needed a little something, so I added an applique heart. Kinda cute, right?

Tiny Little Knitting

It feels like I have about a millon knit/crochet projects in the works, but I can't seem to be able to get anything done. So I started a whole new project. Sounds logical, right?

I made myself a little knitting-pride brooch. I used the mini sweater ornament pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I knitted it with black and white Lyric yarn and 2,5mm double point needles. It was sort of fun to make. But I have to admid that I really should build up my patience so I would enjoy tiny little projects with loads of yarn ends to weave in more.

Hey, did you know that the lovely Cass is in need of a bitch? Well I did, and I wanted to help her out. Sadly I couldn't be her bitch. I would make a bad bitch, since a)I live too far b)I'm lazy c)I talk back, and d)I don't take direction very well. But I felt the need to do something to show my support:

I made her a cross stitch. My second ever cross stitch, and I altered a subversive cross stitch pattern a bit for it. And assuming that Cass is not just being nice, she really liked it! I'm happy.

Pretty Little Things

Aren't they cute? I bought two of them yoyo making things at a craft fair, and I just can't seem to be able to stop making them. Can you make yoyos perfectly well without any thingy? Of course you can, but gadgets are more than half the fun. At least to me

I always wear my hair up. (Ok, almost always.) It's either in a ponytail or in a bun sort of thing. I usually hold it up with plain black thingys, but sometimes a girl needs something special. I just love the polka dot bows

*

I also made more of those button earrings because they're so cute.

These three are my favourite of the new ones: (you can't tell that well in the picture, but the ones on the top left have glitter on them)

Yeah, yeah. Yet another post with no knitting or crochet in it. But don't you worry, I have both knitting & crochet in the works. But they're or a swap so I can't talk more about them yet.

A few days ago I put a tiny counter on my blog to see if anyone reads this (a part from the lovely people who leave comments). Imagine my surprice when I found out that I do actually get hits!

Mad New Skill

*

I learned to cross stitch! It's not really difficult, just takes a shit load of time. But maybe it'll get faster when one has done more of it. The reason I learned to cross stitch was that I heard about the Subversive Cross Stitch book, and had to have it.

I am aware that the fabric is too small for the frame, but it was only in the frame for the photo. The frame has moved up to bigger and better things now.

Barbie Is A B....

Oh come on, don't act all offended, we all know she is.

But what am I going to do with this embroidery? Any suggestions?I just wanted to stitch it, even when I only had some faint ideas as to what it's going to end up as

I used backstitch and satin stitch on it and 3 strands of embroisery floss. And I had to use a plastic hoop 'cos for some weird reason I don't seem to be able to find my wooden one. Obviously this has nothing to do with my apartment being a mess.. 'cos it's not. Really. Oh well...
