Now I'm sewing emoij pillows

I have put a side crochet needle for a moment to sew some Emoij pillows for my daughter for Christmas. She wished for that as christmas gift. I have two days left to finish them so it's little stressful now ;).
Here you can see how far I come.
I'm going to sew on the eyes, mouth, nose and heart.

First time making it. The "pillow" part is velcro. Eyes, heart, mouth, teeth is felt fabric. :)

Here is the gingerbread woman + pattern how I did the last part..

I found a free pattern on the gingerbread man, so I made the ending (skirt) on the woman myself. :) she looks like this.
Here on my pinterest board you can find the pattern for the gingerbread man.

This how I did the woman from
Row 23-24 sc in each sc, ch 1, turn

Row 25 2sc in the first sc, sc in of the next 13 sc, 2sc in the last sc, ch 1, turn

Row 26-27 sc in each sc, ch 1, turn

Row 28 Feet
Skip the first 3 sc and start in the 4th sc and make 4 sc, ch 1, turn
Row 29 Dec the first 2 sc and then the dec in the other 2 sc. Ch 1,  turn
Row 30 Dec in the 2 sc thats left. Fasten off.

Now make one foot on the other side starting in the 4th sc from the other foot. It should be 3 sc in between the feet.

Make two gingerbread women if you want to stuff it like the pattern.

I have finished Olof from Frozen and done some...

...other things to. :)
 I'm sorry I haven't had time to put up my work in a week. I still have crocheting. :)
Here is Olof.

Finally I have found safety eyes.

You wouldn't think that is hard would you!? I wanted to find safety eyes here in my country and at a reasonable price and in good condition So I found a place called "Salabim". I needed them now to. If I order from another country it would take two weeks before I got it. I wanted to finish "Olof".
I mostly found safety eyes in United States and China. If I order from those countries  I had to count on getting customs duty on it. 
So I'm happy now so I can get it soon. Now I'm going to find buttons and velcro. :)

I made a little mistake with the sphere (ornament)

It didn't get round because I didn't think of the middle part.

Well, well  I'm learning ;)
I have started over now with a little help from one that has done a Christmas ornament. I just change the pattern to the one I did.
Putting it up here when I'm finished. :)

Try to make a little sphere.

Trying to knit a little round sphere to our hazel witch tree with a snowflake pattern. Maybe I get it right. :)

Why do they make the crochet needles so thin?

I bought one in alu metal, 2mm some time ago. There is a flat area were they have pressed in the nr of the crochet. It get bent very easy. I have been careful with it, just because I know it is easy to break.

Now, I sat on the needle by accident and it bent in a 90 degree angle so I tried to get it straight again and it got weak in where it was bent so I broke it when I crochet.
I thought I don't want a crochet needle that breaks so easy so I looked on eBay and find this. So I bought them instead. :)
 I don't think this will break because of the steady handle. :)

Monday 10 November 2014

Done all the part to Olof....

....as far as I can right now. Now I need eyes and "buttons".

In the meantime I made a little angel for the withes tree.:)

Friday 7 November 2014

The carrot nose and...

.....torso is finished. Working on the head now.
Still haven't found buttons..

Olof the snowman.

I have started on Olof now. I most say it's a very easy pattern. It fun to because you can take him apart because you sew on velcro. :)

Here is the link to Etsy:

My crochet halloween week didn't went I...

...wanted it. I got some problems with my head. A headache on my right side, right above my ear. I have had now for a week. Very hard to concentrate.
I had to think over so now  I'm thinking of doing a Christmas present. I was thinking of doing Olof in Frozen
I found a crochet pattern on Etsy. So yesterday I bought the yarn.

So I'll will start on that instead. :)

Tuesday 21 October 2014

...I have come now. Beginning on the chin of the horse now. I don't get to crochet so much because I'm working on a cross-stiching project at the same time that I can't show here, because it's a present to someone else. :)

Wednesday 15 October 2014

Started on the fifth..

...part. It's a border that is going around two thirds of the project. I'm going to knit 404 rows before it's finished. I also had to start over the first time because I got it wrong. It should look like this now.

Thursday 18 September 2014

Continued on my mystery knitting

This part of the part is finished when I have done 108 rows. A lot. :) Well I'm almost finished with it and then I'm going to start next part. :)


Tuesday 16 September 2014

I shouldn't start what I don't finish

I have decided that I should finish things I have started so yesterday I knitted on my mystery knitting instead of my pattern I have made. I don't want to have lots  of unfinished works lying around no more.

Friday 12 September 2014

I've started knitting on the pattern..

....I made but wasn't happy with the first knitting I did.
I started all over and now it's looking better. It takes a little time because I'm using 7 yarns in this. It's easy to get it tangled up. :)

Thursday 11 September 2014

I change the name on my blog because....

....I don't wanna be put in one corner where I just can blog about my knitting or crocheting. I do other things to like painting on furniture or something with flowers or yeah like what I come up with to do. :)

Tuesday 9 September 2014

Sorry I haven't blogged, but..

....I did finished the pattern and now I'm going to see if it will be right.
I bought yarn for it on fri, but I bought the wrong colors.  So I had  to get the one I got wrong yesterday.
Here is the colors I have choosen.
