Craft-A-Day : Fox Week !!!

So today is the BIG DAY!!!!!!

Craft-A-Day Year Projects starts officially with today's post!!! Yay!!!!

Yesterday, I've done an introduction in this post, so if you are a little bit curious go there and read it from the beginning to the end!!! Thank you!!!

As you know, this crafty adventure will follow the patterns given in the book Craft-A-Day 365 simple handmade projects by Sarah Goldschadt  and I have also decided to follow the Pattern Index given by the author.

This first week starts from the 8th of January (Tuesday) and it will end the 14th (Monday).
In these days there will be (at the end of this same post) a link tool open, that will permit you to link your crafts related to the weekly theme!

Today's Week Theme is the following : Fox Week !!!

In her book, Sarah had designed 4 fox patterns (2 bodies and 2 muzzles, both in 2 different sizes) and what did she with them? The followings (one craft for each day of the week):

  1. a Fox Finger Puppet
  2. a Felt Fox Ornament
  3. a Fox Topper
  4. a Fox Gift Tag
  5. a Plush Fox
  6. a Mini Fox Topper
  7. a Fox Card
Are you going to do the same? Are you going to do something different? Are you going to do just one or more???
Please, show me all your beautiful projects and ideas!!! I'll be so happy to have this opportunity!!! Thank you so much in advance!!!

As you know, the book starts with the first of January.... But I was still on holiday....
I've decided to consider the missing first week as a bonus for you!!! Infact, if you prefer, you may link a project using the Snowflake patterns !!!!
Sarah used the snowflakes to create something simple and nice like :

  1. a Snowflake Barrette
  2. a Mini Snowflake Stamp
  3. a Paper Snowflake Mobile
  4. a Snowflake Wall Art
  5. Mini Snowflake Toppers
  6. a Snowflake Card
  7. a Snowflake Garland Card
Are you ready to take this "challenge"? Yes? So don't loose a second more!!!
Have fun and surprise me with your creations!!!!

....I'll be in the challenge, too!!! ;oD

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long ...

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in ...

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2...
