A friend of mine asked me to create a gift for her parents golden wedding (50 yrs of being married). That's what I came up with:
3 dimensional frame from IKEA, 14 x14 cm
Detail
"Einen Menschen lieben, heisst einwilligen, mit ihm alt zu werden" Albert Camus
Black & White Inchie in a passepartout ready for framing
The rose is from Tilda's "Sew pretty homestyle" (="Tildas Haus" auf deutsch)
Recycling (I keep beautyful flyers for gift wrapping)
A pouch from "Bend the rules sewing"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
