Another sad gingerbread house made by me :D I said last year that I should do these more than once a year to be better but naah. Anywhooo this is The Tardis from Doctor Who...or it tries to be XD


I did it few days ago and put off posting it 'cos I wanted to fix it but lazyness took the better of me. And lets face it. More icing doen't fix he problem. But I can garantee that I will have a blast eating it after Christmas.

And ofcourse yesterday was the 20th :D Today I share some lovely christmas houses of small sort ;)

Oooh the Internet how I love you!! I didn't have access to internet for few days and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to blog this year but *happy dance* everything is fine now.

Here are some cute garlands to put around your house. I got my christmas tree decorated yesterday and it has just red bead garland on it but these need to be made someday.

So....woopsie... I had two days of and visited my family aaand then got lazy :D Well here's a splash of Christmas stockings for you. I love the idea of stockings even though they are not part of our christmas here in Finland. I was going to sew one for me this year but the fabric choices here suck! So I'm putting on my thinking hat and getting some new inspirations :D

Today was heavily snowing here at my hometown. Aparently the edge of a storm that is at our coastal line. If you step outside you will end up as snowman :D Horible I say! I had to cyckle home from work. *Brrrrh*

Well anywhoooo here's some snowflake templates to create little more friendly winter at windows :)

I saw this idea in one home magazine and thought that it would be nice here at my place since I live alone and it is nice to have some sounds at home.

Today we celebrate our independence here in Finland. In honour of that I present few blue and white themed christmas ideas.

Two years ago I bought this treetop ornament because you just can't find beautiful treetop star anywhere. And also because I don't think it's nesessary to have a star (or angel) on your christmas tree.

I didn't have the chance to use it last christmas and I forgot about it so I bought another one from sale. And suprisingly I managed to buy one in the same colour. So this year my christmas is red and white and I just sprayed the other first white on the bottom and then red (very red).

And bye the way. I will be having black fingers for few days since one spray can decided to brake its cap while spraying. Fun! Too bad it isn't summer so I could go wash some rugs :) that would scrub paint of. What I sprayed black will be shown one day.

Today I attached few cardboard stars and one sisal star to my entry "hall" :D I have this ugly 6 piece mirror on the wall and maybe the stars make it a little more tolerable :) I have other plans to entryway also witch you will see later on.


Here is my inspiration that I found from Pinterest. I was originally going to make those double sided stars but I became really anoyed when pieces didn't fit together so I gave them a new meaning. XD

Candy Canes! Love them a lot. I bought to myself 12 pack of them this Christmas. They have this ugly plastic cover and I intend to use them only as decorations so I will test to lacquer them. I have no idea if it ruins them, but I will test with one only :D

So, somewhile ago I bought this table from IKEA. I knew that I was going to paint it mat black, because my bed is mat black and it was going to be my new bedsidetable. And because the table is made from metal, I needed a tablecloth to it. I haven't found suitable yet from store so I crochetted one.


Here is also another DIY version of IKEA table that I find quite nice.

So here I am. Back as promised. Just to warm up crocheting I made this bunny. I just browsed through raverly pages and pick this tutorial found in here. I made her out of cotton yarn and  size 3mm hook. She is about 10 cm tall.

Here is also few pumpkins that I made earlier. Few more and I should end up with some sort of door decoration before christmas. Guide for the pumpkins is found here with whole lot of other fun patterns :)

Hello! I haven't vanished from the face of the earth just yet :D I have been working with my final thesis. It's almost over so I can finally let myself do other things also. I have been quite mean to myself and if I haven't been writing my thesis I have not allowed myself to do any fun things either XD But now that it is nearly done I can start crafting again. And what better time than this because christmas is coming sooner than you think :D

Here is a pic of my new scarf that is in the making. I am going to London at November with two of my friends and I want to have new scarf for that trip. I try to do matching wool cap to it also. I'll be back tomorrow to show you a little amigurumi baby bunny :)

I went to our capitol city Helsinki a week ago with my friend. We "camped out" at my friends aunt and due to her work schedule we were a bit at her way so I wanted to make a gift. She loves and collects all things african so I made a african head pendant out of fimo. I have made similar before to a dollhouse so I just improved the "design" :D

There is a silver loop-pin pushed in to the head and I looked examples of the face paint out of the internet. The head is about 5 cm.

One of my friends is a huuuuuuge Dr. Who fan so I made this Tardis inspired pouch to her new phone. Made out of merino wool, felt lining and button closing.

Ok, so this week I finally unpacked the last moving boxes. That took about three weeks so I'm quite proud of myself :D

Hopefully now I get some crafting done. Here is something at least from my new bedroom. I have always wanted to put text on walls and in this apartment I'm going to do so.

I love the phrase "Keep calm and...." so here's my version :)

I took the pic at day time, but it's something like that at the evening. I cut the letters from interior magazine pages that had no text or as little as possible. Heres another pic with flash.

Hello! I just moved to a new apartment less than two weeks ago and all my stuff are still in a big pile. I have less cupboard space so my craft thingies are just in boxes over boxes. Hopefully I make some sense to it soon.

However I bought this book to be my new ideabook. I normally just scrible in the edge of any paper on the table so this might be a good thing XD

All the monsters that have stich-on-pants are terrified :D Maybe that tells me that only few ideas are actually good. Like the little green smiling one seems to agree ^^

Here's some other cute monsters, just click the pic to go!
