....and today : Miss Owloween!

Just look at the pictures, and tell me ......

.....isn't she a gothic beauty? Honestly, she has everything to be loved : big round eyes, a chubby and soft belly, nice pedicure, lovely velvety beads and 3 little bells....Do you need more? Probably you would like to touch her! Sorry, not possible!! Miss Owloween is a gift for a teen girl that loves gothic stuff.....I hope she will love her like I do!!! See you soon, xxx

Miss Owlette

This morning, while waiting for the right time to go out to school to help kids in year 4 to read, I had the impulse to complete the sewing of my little owl.... So, I collected some velvety red beads, a bright red thread, an orange ribbon and 6 black metallic little pendants (I don't remember the real name, but they are used in scrapbooking) and I started....

So cute from the outside, but so "scary" from the inside! It reminds me the novel of Dorian Gray.....!!!!

But at the end she turned out so lovely! Isn't she? I like her big eyes and her softness (she is filled with some toy stuffing), her bright colours, the 3 hearts....And what about the mini bird cage with the dangling bells? Well I'm completly overwhelmed by her beauty! Sure, I'm her "mummy" after all........

In the meantime, while I was working on my little project; someone else nearby was doing what usually she does better....

Sleeping like a princess!!!
See you soon, xxx
P.S.: I have to thank a lot Jessica Levit for her free pattern "felt owl ornament", that you can find at http://www.juicy-bits.typepad.com/       A lot of friends will be happy this coming Christmas, some relatives,too!

Many W.I.P. !!!

WIP: tea towel!

So many ideas that pop every hour in my mind!!!! My hands are so impatient to start each crafty plan that I've started different projects and the time is never enough to complete any of them......Probably there are too many wip in the house right now....

This is my first owl! One day he/she will be ready to fly to the house of a very good friend of mine......

What about these ones? Except for the first one on the left (it was my first attempt!), I'm in love with the bright colours of these chunky cuffs.....

Another one on the knitting needles! They are fast and so simple to knit (and so addictive!).......

Oh yes, a bag! I've knitted this one some time ago and I'm not so happy about the colours selection....Probably I should complete the sewing and it could be I'll fall in love with this bag, too! I hope!

A useful tip to the ones who like to knit with more than one yarn/cotton threads at a time like I always do!

Collect a shoes box and on the top of it make holes (as many as you need). I've made four of them and in the future I can add more if I need to knit with more colours. Then open the box....

....and put inside the yarn/cotton balls you will use in your project. From each ball pull a lenght of thread and let it passes in one hole from the inside to the outside of the box lid! Easy peasy!

 So you can knit whatever you like without the constant nightmare to stop your work every few minutes to untangle the threads.....!!!!

I conclude my show with a batch of felt swirlies....YUMMY!

See you soon, xxx
