Right now I'm cross-stiching a present and...

...can't show it here. I'm going to start a new crochet project soon. Here is a picture how the Emoij pillows turned out. :)

Now I'm sewing emoij pillows

I have put a side crochet needle for a moment to sew some Emoij pillows for my daughter for Christmas. She wished for that as christmas gift. I have two days left to finish them so it's little stressful now ;).
Here you can see how far I come.

I'm going to sew on the eyes, mouth, nose and heart.

First time making it. The "pillow" part is velcro. Eyes, heart, mouth, teeth is felt fabric. :)

Here is the gingerbread woman + pattern how I did the last part..

I found a free pattern on the gingerbread man, so I made the ending (skirt) on the woman myself. :) she looks like this.

Here on my pinterest board you can find the pattern for the gingerbread man.

This how I did the woman from
Row 23-24 sc in each sc, ch 1, turn

Row 25 2sc in the first sc, sc in of the next 13 sc, 2sc in the last sc, ch 1, turn

Row 26-27 sc in each sc, ch 1, turn

Row 28 Feet
Skip the first 3 sc and start in the 4th sc and make 4 sc, ch 1, turn
Row 29 Dec the first 2 sc and then the dec in the other 2 sc. Ch 1,  turn
Row 30 Dec in the 2 sc thats left. Fasten off.

Now make one foot on the other side starting in the 4th sc from the other foot. It should be 3 sc in between the feet.

Make two gingerbread women if you want to stuff it like the pattern.

I have finished Olof from Frozen and done some...

...other things to. :)
 I'm sorry I haven't had time to put up my work in a week. I still have crocheting. :)
Here is Olof.

I hav also made a bell and right now I'm making gingerbread boy and girl. Photo later. :)

Here is Olof's arms.

Now I'm going to buy "pipe cleaner" in color brown. :)
I don' t know if it's called the same in english. I show you a picture of it.

 Olof's arms

 Exempel of pipe cleaner.

I started to make a bell ornament in the meantime. :)

Working on Olof, Frozen

Sorry I have the flu so I haven't have the strength to put up something on my blog.
I sat yesterday putting Olof together. Now I only have his arms left. :)

I have finish the sphere/ball ornament with pattern.

Here's what it looks like and my pattern for it.

I follow the pattern from this site, I just change the pattern on it. :)

Finally I have found safety eyes.

You wouldn't think that is hard would you!? I wanted to find safety eyes here in my country and at a reasonable price and in good condition So I found a place called "Salabim". I needed them now to. If I order from another country it would take two weeks before I got it. I wanted to finish "Olof".
I mostly found safety eyes in United States and China. If I order from those countries  I had to count on getting customs duty on it. 
So I'm happy now so I can get it soon. Now I'm going to find buttons and velcro. :)

I made a little mistake with the sphere (ornament)

It didn't get round because I didn't think of the middle part.

Well, well  I'm learning ;)
I have started over now with a little help from one that has done a Christmas ornament. I just change the pattern to the one I did.
Putting it up here when I'm finished. :)

Try to make a little sphere.

Trying to knit a little round sphere to our hazel witch tree with a snowflake pattern. Maybe I get it right. :)

Why do they make the crochet needles so thin?

I bought one in alu metal, 2mm some time ago. There is a flat area were they have pressed in the nr of the crochet. It get bent very easy. I have been careful with it, just because I know it is easy to break.

Now, I sat on the needle by accident and it bent in a 90 degree angle so I tried to get it straight again and it got weak in where it was bent so I broke it when I crochet.
I thought I don't want a crochet needle that breaks so easy so I looked on eBay and find this. So I bought them instead. :)

 I don't think this will break because of the steady handle. :)

Done all the part to Olof....

....as far as I can right now. Now I need eyes and "buttons".

In the meantime I made a little angel for the withes tree.:)

The carrot nose and...

.....torso is finished. Working on the head now.
Still haven't found buttons..

Olof the snowman.

I have started on Olof now. I most say it's a very easy pattern. It fun to because you can take him apart because you sew on velcro. :)

Here is the link to Etsy:

I have done his lower body and working on the torso now.
I have to find buttons to his body...

My crochet halloween week didn't went I...

...wanted it. I got some problems with my head. A headache on my right side, right above my ear. I have had now for a week. Very hard to concentrate.
I had to think over so now  I'm thinking of doing a Christmas present. I was thinking of doing Olof in Frozen

I found a crochet pattern on Etsy. So yesterday I bought the yarn.

So I'll will start on that instead. :)

This week for be crochet hallowhalloween week :)

I start with showing you how far I am on the bedspread. :)

Now I'll show what halloween things I working on. I have done a spiderweb. Now I doing the spider to it.
I learned what I-cord is throw youtube :)
The legs to the spider should be done in that way.

I thought it would be...

...fun for you to see how far I am in the crochet bedspread. So every time I put it up, I put up a picture of the pattern and with row I'm on. :)

Here is how far...

...I have come now. Beginning on the chin of the horse now. I don't get to crochet so much because I'm working on a cross-stiching project at the same time that I can't show here, because it's a present to someone else. :)

Now the mane is finished...

...in the lower part of the bedspread.

I saw this cute giraffe on Instagram and...

....wanted to share this here. :) It's a crochet free pattern by "I love buttons by Emma" :)

Here is link:

Crochet the bedspread.

I have had so much to do that I haven't had the time to put up something here and work as much on the bedspread. Sorry about that.  I'm soon were I was when I had to start over again. 7 rows to go.

I have finished the mystery knitting.:)

It is a shawl! Here is a picture how it looks now.  I have to damp it and stretch it out, but right now I don't know on where. So it have to be later. :)

I continue on my daughter's bedspread.  This is how far I have gotten on that. :)

Now I have "only"...

....48 rows left of the mystery knitting :D

Knitted more than half..

....of this. I knitted 84 rows yesterday. :)

Well I knitted 60....

....rows yesterday and it looks like this. :)

Enter to win stitch hooks

I saw this on all free knitting site and thought I could pass it on. :)

Here is what it would look like...

....around 2/3 of the project. :)

Started on the fifth..

...part. It's a border that is going around two thirds of the project. I'm going to knit 404 rows before it's finished. I also had to start over the first time because I got it wrong. It should look like this now.

Finished the forth part...

.....and now I'm going to start on the fifth.

Continued on my mystery knitting

This part of the part is finished when I have done 108 rows. A lot. :) Well I'm almost finished with it and then I'm going to start next part. :)

I shouldn't start what I don't finish

I have decided that I should finish things I have started so yesterday I knitted on my mystery knitting instead of my pattern I have made. I don't want to have lots  of unfinished works lying around no more.

I've started knitting on the pattern..

....I made but wasn't happy with the first knitting I did.
I started all over and now it's looking better. It takes a little time because I'm using 7 yarns in this. It's easy to get it tangled up. :)

I change the name on my blog because....

....I don't wanna be put in one corner where I just can blog about my knitting or crocheting. I do other things to like painting on furniture or something with flowers or yeah like what I come up with to do. :)

Sorry I haven't blogged, but..

....I did finished the pattern and now I'm going to see if it will be right.
I bought yarn for it on fri, but I bought the wrong colors.  So I had  to get the one I got wrong yesterday.
Here is the colors I have choosen.

I was thinking of making a new pattern.

This pattern will not be big, but it will look great on the one who's getting it. :)

I was thinking of using an app I found on googleplay called "Knitting chart maker".
Here is the link to it:

Now the cat is finished :)

Here you can see the cat now hanging in my rear wiew mirror. :)
