2nd Day of December

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


Candy canes on window garland. Pretty pretty!


Canes as flowerpot cover. Also nice display way.


Nice way to decorate a hallway forxemple.


Love them love them love them! <3

Happy December!

Hello readers!

This year I'm going to present a deacoration idea or something from my home related to christmas at every day until 25th of December. You could think it as some kind of advent calender :)

So here are crochet snoflakes and christmas flowers that I made to decorate the tree later. They are made out of thin cotton yarn and they are about 6 cm wide.

The tutorial for these you can find from here.

And the snoflakes are from here.

Both of the ornaments were pinned to board and sprayd with spray lacquer to make them stiff. I don't yet have fabric stiffener but I really shoul get some :)

Little crochet tablecloth

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.

Baby bunny

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 :)

I'm here! Still alive :D


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 :)

Another gift

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.
