Swirls & Flourishes

I made this birthday card for my friend who turned 30 yesterday. It is my contribution for the Make a Moo or Two Challenge this week.

Watercolours

A friend of mine gave birth to a little son last week. I made this card. It is also for the Created By Hand Challenge with this week's theme "watercolour backgrounds". The Quote is one of my all time favourites. The stamp is from Quietfiredesign.

Crocus

For the Mini Swap we dyed shirts and stenciled them with crocusi.

The blue was supposed to turn out green. Don't know what happened, but I like it anyway.
Welcome spring, in February.

Organic Veggies Delivery Service

I made this one as a birthday present for a friend. We gave a 2 weeks trial for an organic vegetable box delivered to her home. I use this kind of service for years and just love it.

For the gift-box I bought a little box for toy stores and sewed fruits from felt. My daughter just loved it.

Napkin for the neighbour

Last week I made this quick birthday present for our neighbour. It's a napkin, a personalized coaster and a fabric cupcake. I like practical presents and as the little guy (3) has his birthday short after christmas, there was no need to give toys. The patterns of the napkin and coaster are losely taken out of "Bend the rules sewing" by Amy

Wintercrafts

Last Minute Christmas present for my friend (pattern can be found here). The black was not so easy to picture. fingerless gloves.

Socks for myself. The yarn is hand dyed I think with walnut skins and onion skins. I got the idea for the cat stiching from a children activity book from my daughter. It's about Lisbeth, the little witch and they had socks with a similar cat head which I found totally cute. So I had to make them. Thanks Germaine for helping out with the last bit of yarn.

Little traveller

I think it must have been 3 years or so that I worked on this scarf. At least it was one of my long term UFO's. But now, during a long phonecall with my beloved one, I could finish it and add the little doll & pouch yesterday (during another phonecall). I am very pleased how it turned out. The scarf will go to Finland to warm the neck of a dear friend's daughter. I just love handmade gifts.

PAY IT FORWARD :

I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this Pay it forward exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

So basically, if you comment, I’ll send you something crafty that I’ll make! Once you sign up, copy and paste the above paragraph on your blog, and three other lucky people will be recipients of your handmade work.

I found this here and really like the idea.
