Spring and Fleamarked season

So this is my current project which is not a secret. All that is left is the backstitching, and since you all know me, I have to force myself to do it.... But it is getting there.

This is Mimle, asleep after a whole day of wreckage. ^^ 

Now, I have been to a fleamarket this weekend, and among the things that followed me home is this lovely breakfast set. Isn't it beautiful? I love it, I have had my friend come over just to drink tea. I may be a bit over the top in love with teapots, of all kinds.

And other than that I am reading a most interesting book. "Wise Women" it is called by Philippa Gregory. I love England. When I am finished with it I think I will make a review just for you.

Update on life

Mimle is a happy bunny. She loves us and flops all the time. Still she is almost never scared and do not move even when almost walked upon.

We made a new toy. Put some Alfalfa-hay inside a chocolate-box and hay-presto, hours of fun. ^^

Other than that I am still chugging along on my Cats wedding sampler and in between am making some small projects. Life is stupid and it is snowing so pictures are all smudgy and dark. But other than that I am happy.

Introducing

Our new little friend, Mimle. Six weeks old and nothing seem to stress her.

Very inquisitive.

Very calm. Nothing seems to faze her at all. Her fur is super soft, and after two days living in our house she follows us around and loves to sit near us, any time we sit with her on the floor it is playing time:)

Teacup Kitty

It is done. My teapot Kitty, sadly I cannot show you a picture of the finished card because we are moving houses you see, and in all the hustle and bustle I have for some reason misplaced the card. Or packed it somewhere.....

But that also means that this blog and all my crafting will be on hiatus for about a month while we move and move back.

Somebunny is collecting flowers

I could not help myself and as soon as the Spring bouquet was done I had to start another little somebunny. She looks so sweet. As you can see I am having fun with the variated thread. (the blue flowers) I am making small progress to be honest, but I blame that on the series we are watching at the moment, twin peaks.... Now watching that show means you have to keep your tongue in one place.

Back to the stitching. This year I have some goals.

And I did not want to tell you my January goals, but since I am more than halfway let me tell you regardless.

This January My goals were:

Finish the little Peter Rabbit: Not done much

Make the pillow: Needs sewing

M Poncho crochet: More than Halfway

My mother's Cloth: Done

G Pot Holder: Done

As you can see none of the little somebunnies are on the list, that is just for extra fun, and I gather instead of the Peter Rabbit one;) But shame on me, that pillow was supposed to be a Christmas Present and it is still not done! This Saturday I am going to have a Wip finishing day. So there.

I like cats too

Cutie Pie.

I am getting more and more sure that my arms really can't crochet as much as I want to. My arm hurts too much.

But then I get to sew more:)

Here is the pair, and just enough yarn to make both. I like the combo. I used Puppets Lyric yarn. And I hope it will still match the recipients kitchen (she redecorated).

This was initially a Christmas present, but I temporarily lost it, and when it was found I did not have time to finish the last few rounds on it. Then I decided that since I was late anyway I would make the square one also.

What do you think?

Spring Bouquet

I know it is not quite spring. It is still a full on winter here. But I wanted to make this little fellow nonetheless.

Now, I usually love DMC, and this is no exception. I am still young enough to see the holes ( my relatives complained the holes were too small). But I loved the fabric, it was really easy to sew on. And the colours on this. How the different shades of lilac complement each other. I know purple bunnies are few, but the somebunny range look like bunnies none the less, even if they are purple and patched.

The backstitch took me two days. The bunny in one sitting and the flowers in another, very quick by my standards. I usually hate doing the backstitching, but always love the result. I don't know if I have gotten older or wiser or if Somebunny really is a treat and easy to do, but the threads just flew away.

I can honestly say that even though bunnies are my favorite thing in the world, it is not just because of the bunnies that Somebunny to love is my favorite character to make. It is the colours, the expressions, the whimsical patches and plumpness of their little bottoms that makes me love them so. And they do finish quite fast too.

I give this range and this bunny in particular a five stars out of five. ^^
