A clean slate

In the last couple of months, I've had trouble finding motivation to blog.. I didn't know what to write, or how to write it. I think it's because I had high expectations of myself, and my blog. Setting expectations too high just sets you up for failure. I was thinking too much.. It wasn't fun anymore.

So I'm going to start 2015 with a clean slate. I'm going to delete all my posts and start fresh. I've thought about deleting the blog all together, but that also didn't feel right. I want to blog.. I want to be able to post about crafty creations, my happy thoughts, my random thought and my inspirations..

I'm excited to start over. I'm excited to see what 2015 will bring. See you there!

Needle Felting Workshop

Hey all! As you might know I took a needle felting workshop a while ago. What's needle felting you ask? Needle felting is the process of felting/tangling one piece of wool to another using barbed needles. The needles take the wool fibers from one piece and drag them through the other piece where they tangle and attach the two pieces.

So first they advised to make a penguin using an example.. First you make all the basic shapes seperately. Here's my felting needle, the white body and two feet.. The black in the corner is black felt I'll be using to make the penguin's coat and eyes!

DIY Tuesday: Arm Knitting

Hi you guys! Last week I showed you my arm knitted infinity scarves that were so easy and quick to make.. I definitely recommend you making at least one this winter! Now there are a lot of great videos on youtube, but I wanted to share my favourite with you. So here it is! Grab some yarn, sit back, relax, and go armknit!

Finally.. A YoP Update!

I know I know.. I have been so quiet.. No YoP posts for .. a looooong time! Our little Kitty cat Nala has also been on intensive care (in our home) for the last couple of weeks... (here's the reason why by the way) so things have been a bit 'out of whack at home..

But today I am posting a YoP update! Yay!

Because of Nala I couldn't focus on patterns, so Ive been mainly working with my felt plushies and knitting-wise I've done a lot of 'instant gratification' projects.. Lots of comfy scarves being armknitted at the moment! You can find a few posted in this FO Friday post, and I even put three up for sale in my Lily Razz Shop! These two are my favourite ^_^

PinkRibbon Donation

As you might know October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I'm lucky that I myself, nor someone close to me, have not been diagnosed with breastcancer, but I do think it's important to support this cause. 

 

At the beginning of "Pinktober" I decided to donate $1.00 of every sale I made with my Etsy Shop during October, to PinkRibbon.nl. With 9 sales this month it may not be a whole lot of money, but together with a bit of my own funds... every little bit helps, right?

Supporting the fighters, Admiring the survivors, Honoring the taken, and never giving up hope!

FO Friday: Instant gratification

Happy Friday everyone!

Don't you love instant gratification projects? I do! And with the weather turning colder, I've been whipping up scarves like crazy!

 

Big, Comfy, Warm Infinity Scarves! And the best part? Major stash buster! ;-) wink wink!

 

These were all arm knitted infinity scarves. If you've never tried it, please do! It's such an easy, quick and fun project!

 

 

I really loved making these. I was done in about 20min per scarf! And I love that you can wear these scarves in various ways... Yep, I'm happy :)
