Craft-A-Day : Gnome Week !!!

Another week for a new crafty challenge!!!


This time we have to work with gnomes and maybe some toadstools.....!!!!
Infact, Sarah gives us a couple of bonus mushroom patterns just on the inside of the front cover of her book ...

For the Gnome Week Sarah liked to craft little treasures like :

Jan 15 : a Gnome Plant Stick
Jan 16 : a Gnome Card
Jan 17 : a Mini Gnome Topper
Jan 18 : Gnome & Mushroom Cake Toppers
Jan 19 : a Plush Gnome
Jan 20 : a Felt Mushroom Ornament
Jan 21 : a Gnome Gift Tag

....what I'm going to do this time????

Well, I would love to take some inspiration even from this old gnome of mine (by Fiorucci)....


...and the other thing is that for Christmas I've received these toadstools.....



.....so, I think that some gnomes will be happy to live under there!!!
Are you of the same idea??? ;oD

If you love to join me in this adventure, please do it and remember that you are really welcome, anytime!!!

    `Oh who doesn't love a sweet little gnome and your Fiorucci gnome is certainly very cute.
    Love the toadstools Ale, I think they would be a perfect place for your gnomes to live....
    Look forward to seeing your creations, they would go well with your foxes too.....

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 Indonesia but I al

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 strai

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 single crochet
