Other crafts

Today I want to show some more stuff I tried during the last months...

This is a very small part of what I made during my first workshop at the potter wheel. I wanted to do this for ages and finally got around to do it. What can I say? I am hooked and will go again in February….

This was something that came to my mind when looking for a suitable pressie for my neighbour. Looked pretty with a single flower in it (plus some green) although it is not something I will do much more often. Other things are much more fun! 

And last but not least… This is the castle tower I built around the bed of my son. It is not perfect but non the less: My son loves it and I am very proud to have built it with my own hands.

Wool in work

I also do knitting and crocheting again. Why again? I learned it as a child, did all from the usual oven cloth up to own pullovers. But at some point I just knitted socks every now and then, not much more.

Through a good friend I got into a group that decorates the city I live in with crocheted stuff at special events - and I got to find out what else you can do with these kind of crafts. And got hooked again...

These two are made to sit on waterliliy-leaves (of isolating board) that were fixed on the bottom of the little river which flows through town. Sadly the anchors did not hold through a heavier rain and all I have left are these pictures:

Meet Kurt, the Frog:

And I also found out, that socks cannot only be knitted but crocheted too. My first try on that was very colourful and perfect for my little boys feet:

I am always happy about comments, so feel free to leave them. Every critic is welcome as long as it is nicely meant. :)

Old stuff

A few things that are a bit older but still too nice to NOT been shown.

Acrylic painting from 2009 at the East Sea

 One of my first cards… ever! Made for Mother's Day.

 My first wedding card - for a friend.

 The card for my boy's 5th birthday. To be opened between ship and number.

And my all-time-favourite Halloween-Card. Only as big as the palm of my hand. Small but "oho"! ;)

10 months later...

I have been absent for quite a while. But that only concerns the world wide web, not my "crafty corner" at home. And before I start in a new Christmas season I thought I show you some of the things I put my time and heart into.

This was an order by my Mom for a little girls first day at school. Mom wanted to give some money into the envelope so I left the cone open to put a folded banknote inside...
