Yawn

I finally managed to end my hibernation, YEAH! I had a really wonderful Christmas with loads of family time and winter walks and sweets and lovely presents and all that kind of stuff that makes you love winter. Now, at long last, I wanted to share some of my latest crafty adventures with you: Christmas presents I received and those I gave away, and also new projects that I started (and some of them already finished! wohoooo!) during my long time break. Now, after all, I am burtsing of new ideas and plans... Have a look!

Crocheted whale-in-love application :) I'm planning some more comic or kawaii style crochet applications now, collecting new motives every day.


A very greeen and fierce alien plushy, probably from pluto, and my newest baby: the little red riding hood (isn't she lovely....) I am REALLY proud of her! For the first time, I created a pattern for a crocheted character on my own that worked IMMEDIATELY! I you like them, these three are now available in my dawanda shop. More to come soon :)

Now some Christmas goodies.
1. pink ghost pin made of hama beads cute and elephant measure tape (not made by me) for my sister No. 2
2. knitted triangle baby scarf for my friend Zeynep's newborn nephew
3. crocheted angora pantie for my lovely sister No. 1
4. custom-made corduroy skirt for my lovely Sister No. 2

christkindlesmarkt

As I live very close to bavaria's famous christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg, it's obvious that I have to go there at least once a christmas season. Besides huge amounts of Glühwein and sausages, there are some stalls with examples for true craft. As this small booth with "springerle", non edible biscuits for decoration, which have a long tradition in southern germany. There are special wooden forms in which they're baked and for these "Models" exists an own fandom because they look very cute. But now take a look at my pics of the beautiful and brightly coloured Springerle:



And these two were allowed to come home with me :) It was REALLY hard to decide. And I am already looking forward to seeing them embellish my christmas tree! YEAH! Traditional craft is so wonderful!
