Making leather keychains

Hi you guys! I always feel it's been a while, since I spend/waste most of my social media time on Instagram lately. If you want to connect with me by the way, I'm there @lily_razz

But on to the fun craftiness I've been up to lately. Together with some other crafty gals in Amsterdam, we made a whole lot of leather keychains! (it was on commission, we had to make 200 in total) I'm so excited to show you! No tutorial today, just a show-off ;-)

 

WIP Wednesday - Little Penguin

This little penguin has been looking at me lately, asking why I haven't finished him yet..

YoP Update

* moshi moshi! * How are you today?

We have had such a busy week, we're still moving and decorating and I've been putting all my craft supplies into our new cabinet.. I'm not yet finished, but I'm definitely doing a post this week showing you my craft supply organization so far! Today's post is about the crafting ^_^

Last week I started on the little knitted gift bags, and here they are now:

 

WIP Wednesday - Knitting and Sewing

Happy WIP Wednesday everyone! How's your week so far?

 

I have been knitting, trying to finish my first YoP project little knitted gift bag. I decided to change colors in between which required a bit of improvising since I forgot how to do that, but I think it went okay. I only need to make the drawstring and maybe put some embellishments on the baggy. And I started a second one!

 

Random Blog Post

Hey everyone! It's WIP Wednesday but I don't have a lot of projects on the go that I really want to show you.. Instead I though I'd blog about what's keeping me busy this week..

I've been really trying to learn how to sew in the last couple of weeks. When I was moving around some stuff in our attic, I found this box, that my mom had given to me when she moved to Canada.. It felt like I had struck gold! Look at all those colors!

 

Granny Square Lovin'

Hi lovelies! I'm late for my YoP update! This weekend's been a bit crazy so I didn't have time to blog. Oopsie! But I'm here now.. This week has been all about granny squares. It all started with this lantern pattern that I showed you last week. It's essentially the basic granny square stitches, but around a glass jar. Fun!

I loved the colors so much, I decided to make a matching pillow cover. What could be more perfect than a granny square?

Jumping in!

Hello you! How are you doing? As I had planned, I've put some items up for sale in my Etsy shop this week! Meet my clouds.. ( >> don't forget to enter my give away here!)

 

I'm glad I did it. Just did it, I mean..  Because there's a lot of things that could have held me back..
I wish I had more products for sale... and .. I wish I had more traffic on my blog and my Etsy shop.. I wish, I wish, I wish, I coulda woulda shoulda

You gotta start somewhere right?

FO Friday ~ Kitty Kat

Hello there and happy Friday to you! Today is my debut for posting about felted crafts!

I made this Kitty Kat completely out of felt, which is a first for me.. And I learned how to use a blanket stitch! Yay!

Have a lovely weekend!

A bit of everything..

Hi everyone and thanks for last weeks Cuties-lovin'! ^^

I have so many crafts I want to do! I got some lovely crafty supplies (more on that in my earlier post) and my hands are itching to do everything!! So I have been doing just that.. working on a bit of everything.

Here's Wags the Wienerdog in progress.. He's more wiener than dog at the moment..

 

I finally summoned up the courage to use the sewing machine! I made my first envelope pillow! I thought this would be the pillow I'd sew my crocheted Chevron Winter Pillow Cover on, but I kind of like the pillow as is...

The Cozy Wrap is ready to be filled. I'd love to try either a wheat or cherry pit filling.. It'll probably end up being whichever one I can find first..

 

 

Sweet Scarf of Mine is about the size that I'd like it to be.. (which is fairly short actually) I think I'll add a crochet edge, but I'm deciding whether I should add tassels or not.. What do you think?

 

Updated list here! Have a lovely week!

A few new supplies..

New supplies always make me smile! Whether I buy yarn, paper, fabric or something else for my crafting needs, it always makes me giddy. But the more I get, the more I want.. Paradox?

So what do we have here... Some funky fun lettering! And washi tape! Yay!

And an embroidery starter kit. I've always wanted to learn embroidery, and when I saw this kit on sale, I knew I had to try it!

Oh and some fabrics! Yay! That's another thing I've always wanted to do.. Upgrade my sewing skills. With so many tutorials online, I just couldn't resist these lovely fabrics!

 

How about some scrapbook paper to go with the washi tape! Yummy!

 

Yes.. This does make me happy! Wish you all a lovely weekend!

Le Sweety Pie Bag!

I'm so happy with my latest crochet creation! It's fun, it's funky and very handy!

 

 

It's my Sweety Pie Bag!

I'm really happy I tried this pattern. It was much easier than I thought!

 

 

The only part that was a bit confusing was making the mouth, but I found this tutorial to help me!

 The only thing that bugs me is that it isn't matchable with every outfit.. Should I have chosen more neutral colors?

 

Here's the free pattern (chart)!

C´est les champignons!

It feels like we skipped the summer weather this year. We went from winter to spring-like weather to fall! I love the sun and the warmth and everything about summer! So I´m sad! On the other hand it inspires me to craft!

Based on this tutorial I made these cute mushroom-babies!

Aren´t they cute?

I think they are! C´est les champignons!

Are you already thinking of fall? Do you already have projects you´d like to make?

I´m interested so let me know!
