Ceremony invitations

My plan was to make simple invitation cards for the ceremony, but I couldn't help myself from making little embellishments. :)

A piece of beauty

I bought the latest issue of Debbie Bliss Knitting Magazine, I have some of her books and really like her peaceful designs. Quite often magazines are filled with patterns and to a nicer prize than an eqvivalent book. And you also get some non-edited extra information. And som ads too.

One of them is for this piece:


It is for helping out with the gauge of your knitting needles! Isn't it just beautiful? I think it looks like a seashell. You can order it from Debras Garden for $16 and for extra charge you can also get is as earrings and necklace pendant or a key chain.

On the move

Not posting is not equal to not crafting. I've been working on the lace for the wedding dress, the shawl for my maid of honour, cards cards and cards, two giraffes of different sizes, a mini teddy bear and the shadow heart sweater for my niece. And on the flower power banana chair for Sigge.

I started to make the cover in red with white printed stars but that wasn't crazy enough and looked, at best, a bit weak. A much loved one thought I was crazy when I went for the flower IKEA fabric but liked the result - simply because it was crazy. I bought the fabric to make tetraeds but it workes best in larger pieces. I have to go and get some more to make a seat for my rattan armchair that a much loved one dislikes a lot, but I think I may get permission to keept it outside my hobby room in our new house. ;)

By the way, new house means mooooooving. In the picture you can see almost all stuff that has been in my crafty closet. There are a few boxes still to be packed. The dark blue bag is an exception, it is filled with the content of my closet for clothing. I do have another closet, but it is still approximately half of the clothes I have. A much loved one think I have plenty of clothes. Simple math suggests that I have more than plenty of craft stuff. ;)
