The yarn is Drops Fabels and I used dpns european size 2.5 The socks are looking a bit weird but the sockblockers are way too small, they are for my size :-))

Knitting update !


Hiya girlz ,
Yes, almost winter , my feet are cold again ( and the rest of my body too , lol ) so time to take the knitting needles out of the dust :-))
The blue socks for DB , a real boring color , I started a long time ago .... Thanks goodness he loves handknitted socks so much now , that he doesn't care about the color anymore .. with the next socks I (!!!) can pick the color *grins*
The other socks are a pair of monkeys for myself , i think , the wool is Araucania , coming all the way from Chile ..... very weird if you know that in Chile most people are too poor to buy this kinda yarns .. if they can afford to buy yarn, they buy the most cheapest acryl ..
The sweater I started ( a hell of a job ) is from Drops delight , a wonderful colored yarn, but not relaxing to knit ... the tread is twined very loose, so half of the time , i stick with the neeldle in the yarn ..
Dunno if the weater this year will be finished :-))
Thanks for looking !!

Moonlight cat


Hiya peeps,
A few weeks ago , i was trying to sponge a card , yes, i am still not an expert in this technique !!! I thought the card was really yuckkie and threw it somewhere on my table . A few days later a stampingfriend came for a visit , she is way better than me so i asked her for advice about the card and she told me it was good enough to finish it ... and so i did , LOL

For the background i used Vivid dye inks , the bats are from PSX , the cat from Ready to stamp, and the branches stamp is from StampinBack .

Thanks for looking,

Chaotic ??? lol


Hiya all ,
So now u all know why i call myself a chaos ... I am thinking about wich crosstitch UFO to finish , i spend hours on Ravelry looking for a scarf pattern and what are my hands doing ?? Yup, stamping !! LOL
This is my entry for the EAC "In the garden" , yes , what is a garden without a fairy ?? For me a garden needs a fairy !!

I made the background with alcholinks from Ranger, the green branches are stamped with Vivid , The fairystamp, i have no idea what factory it is and the other stamps are from Art Journey ... The wings are colored with Shimmerzmarkers and the flowers with Glimmermist , so the whole card is shiny :-)

UFO's


Hiya girlz ,

Pffff, I didn't realize that it was such a long time ago that i posted something... the weather here was horrible ..... I love hot weather , but there was so much humid and smog in the air that it was allmost impossible to move on ...
So , the only thing what i did was sorting out my stash ... a hell of a job :-))

I found those 5 samplers which i really ant to finish ... the problem is with which one to start..lol..

* the one on top is a Friesche ( Dutch ) sampler , I am using A ver a Soi on 36 count church linnen ...

* the one on the left is the Vier Landen Sampler , I think I just started , lol , I did only a little piece in a corner from a huge piece of linen ... 36 count with good old DMC

* the little blue one is from a Belgium Designer , I used 40 count cheesecloth with Anchor ..

* next to that there is a Butternot Road Design made with caron's Watercolors on 28 count Flamish Farmers linen ..

* And the last one is a Spanish Sampler , for which I used 32 count Belfast wit caron's Waterlillies ....

I do hope that in my next blog I can tell you what sampler will be finished in the future :-))

Thanks for looking

A square a day ....


Hiya girls ,


With all the creative and real life ups and downs , i have no idea if i manage to make a granny square every day ..... I have seen so much bloggers starting a granny throw or blanket ... so i thought "why not give it a try" ...

The yarn i bought years ago to make a sweater which i started but never finished ... I am not going to match the colors, no, i want a waterfall of colors , if they match or not ..

Let's see how many years this project will take me :-))
