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 :)

Our Nala

Hi you guys..

I know I've been a bit absent lately.. But our kitty cat Nala fell off our balcony, breaking her tiny pelvis/hip joint.. It's so sad.. Since she's one year old the doctors think she will recover completely by resting and that she won't need surgery (knocking on wood).

She now has to stay in a cage for 6weeks so that she won't jump or run, aggravating her bones. And she can't have any pain medication, she needs to feel when she's putting to much of a burden on her bones..

 

Poor little thing.. I try to make things as comfortable for her as possible, making her breakfast in bed every day, talking to her and petting her, and letting her sleep as much as possible..

But boy did she give her mommy and daddy a scare! How she did it and what she did exactly, we'll never know, but luckily we've all survived the first week since her accident. She's still in pain and can't walk very well, but her naughty eyes have returned, she's grooming herself and purrrrs like crazy.

So now you know why I've not been here.. Our crazy cat Nala..
