Softies on canvas

Great "Opens"

I'm constantly amazed by how talented people are. Here's just a few (so far) I like from IF's "Open": Liz Cooley, Julia Kelly, Doctor Little Doodles, Sheree Boyd and Leezy-blog-pops.

An InBetween

Pillow Project

I have startet on (yet another;) project; I would like to fill my sofa with hand made pillows, and I've been sketchin' away on'em (pictures below). It's a long term thing, considering all the other projects I've got going on; the knitted sweater, the baby socks, the outfit for the doll, the fabric pictures, the scraps, the crocheted blanket 140x200 (!), the broche, the cup-candles, not to mention the belts, the cross stitch, the IFs and all the InBetweens. Life is grand.


Lovely and inspirering: Smosch and Showpony.

I Love the Fall

I got this scrap of fabric today. Think I'll make childrens room picts with it ...

Good night

Checked out a lot of Illustration Fridays this evening.
These are just a few of the ones I particularly like:
Calkonian design, An illustration a day, Happy Doodle Land, Sandra Krumins.

Illustration Friday: Open

"Christine´s room"

plus: a really beautiful website -- even the ads on the right are pretty:-)

Afternoon

Ode to Waits

Caligraphied Georgia Lee (from the album Mule Variations).
I made it a while ago -- but still

Home made souvenir ;-)

Still doin' the Greece thing

a little while yet.
And judging by the colour, I guess I too have the bluuues;-)

Illustration Friday: The Bluuuees

Blue, sunny and vacationary

Making time fly

I haven't had time to do my IF:Blues yet, but luckily that doesn't mean I can't take the time to check out other peoples' awesome solutions: Julia Freund, Rachel Caiano, Pia Johansson, Marlou B, Happy Doodle Land, Annie Patterson, Claudine Hellmuth and Renato ilustras.

Zorba -- Rock On

Good eeevening. It has been a week and a day since my last post. Reason: I have been vacating on Samos, a little greek island near Turkey. So the next few posts are going to be blue, sunny and vacationary. I hope you'll enjoy. I certainly did :)

Illustration Friday: Juggle

Hot Glue Heaven

These very simple button-rings are glued together with hot glue. Ooohh, there's not a thing in this world that can not be created, mended or fixed with hot glue. The world of hot glue is a beauuutiful one:)

Happy Birthday

Quick 'n' easy crocheted birthday flag.
Hooraayyyy:)

Illustration Friday: Marriage

Oh, Liberty

I accidentally bought these fabric scraps saturday, not quite sure what to make of them yet. I'm sure I'll figure it out - I adore the patterns.

The little leaf sailed into my room this weekend. To draw my attention, I guess, to its participation in the progressive fall.

Softies!

Gotta make more.

And then there was felt

I stopped by Catascraft today, she has made some really wonderful felt cupcakes. And she had a few links, and 3 hours went by:-). Do check out Floresita's halloween card, Crafty joy, Biscuit Bear, Kwoozy, Little Cotton Rabbits, and Crissy Brown.

Squid pro quo

Listen ... Vol II

I received my first comments yesterday. That made me very happy. Blogging is still new to me, and I enjoy it so much. It is so inspirering, people are so very talented, enthusiastic, willing to share and positive minded. Blogging always leaves me lighthearted and smiling.

I enjoyed stopping at Melabo's today. She makes wonderfully crazy ceramic figurines:-)

My first Illustration Friday

"Momentum" (this is fun :)

listen ...

Feeling mythological

Oh -- I signed up for Illustration Friday, getting my first topic today. Can't wait. Have a fabulous friday :)

Knitted top for children

This little top is quick and easy to do. I have the instructions, so if you want to knit one yourself, please let me know; I will email them to you.

Music recommendation of the day

Every morning I ride my bicycle to work, and I listen to a piece of music. It puts me in a certain mood, sort of listening to my lifes soundtrack (which varies from day to day, giving me a very exciting morning-life;-)).
This morning I listened to an actual movie soundtrack; Orlando, which is my music recommendation of today. Absolutely beautiful music.

-------------------------------

I was reminded of my Susan Liebe plates today. How wonderful to see something that has sat on the shelf for the longest time as for the first.
