Voodoo

I found a pattern for a crochet voodoo-pincushion a few weeks back. Thought it was really cool so I had to try making it and it turned out very cute!
I found the pattern here: http://amiemi.blogspot.com/2010/03/naldyna.html

And then they were 3

As I said yesterday I've made something else but the robots this week. I've made myself another cellphone-case.

I've been getting a bit tired of my green one (in the middle) lately and the flowery one (left) I use when I'm in the stable so it smells a little :D and last week when I visited the secondhand store I found a really cool tartan tie.

The finished case is the third one I tried making with this tie. The first one got way too small, the second about 2cm too short and the third - perfect! I didn't do too well when thinking that day, but third time lucky... :D

When I bought the tie I thought it was just a tartan tie but it's actually made in Scotland... I used red lining, half of it from the lining of this tie and the other half from another tie. I think it became quite cool!

Robots

I've now finished the last robot and as promised taken a photo to show you. They're a really cute little family! I've stolen the pattern from this blog; http://virkverket.blogspot.com/



I've finished another thing to, but I'll show you that sometime during this week...

I've stopped working for this summer and should have all the time in the world but I've been busy doing different things. For example I've been in a galopp race with my horse, playing ten pin bowling with my dad and been on a shoppingtrip with a friend.

Now I'm off to spend some time with my horse and do some painting...

Shorts

It's been a while, again... I've finished the shorts I was talking about last time and now managed to take a photo so I can show you. It's actually just a pair of trousers that I've cut off and handstitched sequins on the fold-ups. Pretty cool I'd say!

I've been sick for about a week now, I've got crochingfever - I started last friday making a mini-robot and since then I've made one more and started on another. I'll put up a picture as soon as I've finish the one I'm working on and taken a photo ;)

I've got a few other projects in my mind so I might actually update my blog a bit more often from now on...

Hot hot hot

It's been really hot the last couple of weeks, it's nice but takes away all my energy. But it made me cut of a pair of trousers to make shorts. They're not quite finished so I'll put up a picture of them another day.

When I was working on the cubes for Axel (they are now finished but still not given away) I made another pair for myself to hang in the rearview mirror of my car. I love them! They make me happy everytime I get into my car...

Finally summer

I've finished school for this term, moved back to my parents, started my summerjob and done no sewing what so ever. The last part isn't entirely true, I've handstitched some of the cubes together but to me that doesn't really count.

I'm all out of ideas at the moment, got a few fabrics I want to use but not sure what to sew of them. Axel's parentes asked me if I could make a kind of bib-and-brace overalls for Axel the other day as there are none to buy. (Axel's 13months...) So that will brobably be my next project, I have to make the pattern myself tho och drawing is not really my strongest side... But if drawing doesn't work out, I just do as I normally would; cut, pin, sew.

At the moment there's mostly one thing that's taking up my time when I'm not working; that's the idiot in the picture... :)

Happy midsummer!

Finally

I've finally managed to make all the cubes! Just got the last part left - handstitch the openings toghether... It's probably going to take some time but at least I can see the end of the project..!
