New Felt & Crochet Happy Picture

framed crochet and felt picture

I am very happy to say that I finished my new spring welcoming picture today.

It has crocheted birds, it has a tree in bloom, it has a happy flower and it has a few bugs too.

What I actually did is that I combined everything colorful that I could find at home (my crocheted birds, my crocheted flower, bug pins, felt, a few sequins and some artificial decorative grass). I just put all those things together in an enthusiastic and rather frantic way :). There was sewing, gluing, pinning and a lot of enjoying involved.

And that frame? It is a very cheap thing from Ikea called Nyttja. They have them in many colors.

I like my new picture a lot, I have to admit. It just brightens up the whole room and puts a smile on my face each time I look at it.

I wish you a nice and colorful day!

Love,
Petra

MI and MO …are getting married

Let me introduce my new little friends to you – these are MI and MO.

MI and MO are about to get married.

 

MI and MO are my new handmade teddy bears. They are tiny, that is why I like to call them miniature.

You can now find them in my Etsy shop (and if you’d like to create crochet teddies like these yourself, you can find the pattern here).

I think they can make a wonderful gift.

 

Love,
Petra

While I Was a Zombie

I’ve prepared a little picture story for you.

It documents the past weeks of my life when I was feeling a little under the weather.

 

The sickness arrived vigorously, it ate almost all my energy and left me chewed up, dumbstruck and confused. As a result, I was spending all my time lying in bed, staring at the ceiling or at the wall alternately. Just as I was considering to learn some voodoo to make my zombie life perfect, luckily, another idea came to my mind.

I grabbed some yarn…

… and crocheted, and crocheted, and crocheted.

I had just enough energy to do that. That and watching stand-up comedians for hours on end.

I was making purses.

And purses, and purses, and more purses.

Purses overload.

I loved it.

Actually, I loved it so much that I bought this ‘toy’ called ‘Ota’.

Me and my toy Ota are trying to make nice linings for the purses.

 

I’ll show you the whole purses as soon as I make nice pictures of them.

Which will be soon.

And then there’s another thing.

I also got this yarn.

This yarn, with a little help from above, should turn into cute, little teddy-bears.

Look, they are almost alive.

That’s their little eyes and noses inside the box.

I can’t wait to start.

 

So, as you can see the story of my sick days wasn’t that sad after all.

And, fortunately, I am starting to feel much better which means that I have enough energy to cook and will post a yummy recipe soon.

 

I hope you are doing fine, dear friends.

Have a wonderful day!

 

Love,

Petra

Crocodile Stitch Purse

UPDATE: Since so many of you asked, you can now find the pattern for this purse in MY SHOP!

 

It seems I’ve been on a serious crochet binge recently.

All I think about are stitches, slippers, teddy bears, and purses.

Whee!

I really can’t stop it.

What a life! I know.

 

A few days ago I found a new crochet stitch.

It’s called the ‘crocodile stitch’.

I fell in love with it… and made a purse using the stitch instantly.

It’s the one in the picture.

The stitch might look a little difficult, but it’s not.

It’s very relaxing actually.

Well, if you know how to make a chain stitch and a double crochet stitch.

I wish you the most wonderful week.
