rainbow bunting



befor i made the cupcake bunting i found this bunting on internet, via the tanggled happy blog, i think she posted a link to a blog called rainbow bunting, so i used all the leftovers i had and made granny triangles
when they were all finished i made a line with single crochet and crocheted them all together. In the pictures you can see them hanging in the living room, they have been hanging there since my birthday.
tell me what you think
greetings, madelon

Cupcake bunting



When i was on holiday we went to barneveld(the netherlands), and found a very cute yarn store, and there i bought a ready to go packet by restyle, which had the pattern and yarn already to go to crochet this bunting
hope you like it

kind greetings, madelon

pimp a denim jacket

My daughter of 3 was given a plain denim jacket, fine by me, but i thought it really needed some craftiness to make it a bit more girly and different.


i made the parrot badge i found in a book by Brenda Smits, and made some flowers in the same color combination. and used the sewing machine to sewthem onto the jacket. hope you like it, let me know

cupcakes

Someone at work saw me crocheting, and asked me if i could make her daughter some cupcakes, so i did, i found the pattern on the bittersweetblog under bake me a cake, the pattern is really easy to do and you can make a lot of them quickly.
 i made 4 of them, 3 with varigated yarn, and one green with flowers, one with a butterfly.
here is another picture
let me know what you think, i would love to hear from you

bedroomrug

On the blog of creativejewishmom i found this idea of a rug made from Zpagetti, a kind of tshirt yarn. It wasn't easy, i tried 4 different patterns befor it finally worked out the way i wanted it, But when i finally found the right pattern i finished it in one day.
and this is what my daughter did when it was finally finished

well i guess she likes it, until next time,
