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. :)

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. :)

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. :)
