Inchie ATC's

Hiya girlz ,

So, as I was thinking about inche ATC''s , here they are :-) , They are made from the left overs from the cards and some scrappapers and vintagepics ...

An old friend who was here last week told me that i had to make pics from all my early cross stich work and knitted sweaters , and show them here ( it is worth it , he said )

But as you all know I don't like making pics , so i have to think about it !!!!!!! :-))

Thanks for looking !!

hugs, Patti

Socks and another inchie card

Howdy girls ,

Yes , I know , i became a lazy blogger and i should be ashamed of myself !!! But don't think that even i am very quiet , that i don't enjoy reading all of your blogs !!!

This socks were finished a while ago , i don't even remember the name of the yarn, but i do love them , lol !! The next pair of socks will be shown on wondferful sock blockers , custom made for me by Angeli's hubbie !!

And yes , another inchie card , just made from the leftovers from the other cards... maybe next will be inchie -ATC's ??

Thanks for looking!!

Inchie cards

Hiya girlz ,

Some time ago I bought myself an inchie punch, and to my humble opinion :-) those things are nice toys, hehe ..

Here some cards i made with stamps from Inkadinko stamped on a background made with the bleeding tissue technique ..

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 :-))

Thanks for looking !!

Lil Angel

DB's socks

Hiya girls ,

Finally are DB's socks ready , boring colors are more difficult and slower to knit, for me at least , lol .... And i don't understand why man allways have to chose a boring sock color !!!

The color he chose for the next socks are even more boring , so I better start them soon, before i don't start them at all anymore :-)

This yarn is from Drops Fabel .

Thanks for looking !

Hurt

Hiya girlz ,

Last week I made some ATC's , the one i posted here is the one I like most ... I made it when i was listening to Hurt from Johnny Cash ( I just love that song !!!) .... played it several times, hehe :-))

All used inks are dye inks from Vivid , graveyard stamp and the man are from Cherry Pie , the moon was a gifted image , so i have no idea ...

Thanks for looking ,

Socks in progress

Hiya girls ,

Here's the pic I promised from the 2 pairs of socks i am knitting now ... the blue is for my DB and the other one for me ... I think it will take a long time before they are finished , coz I started another , a huge , yarn project .. more about that in a next blog !

I want to thank you for your sweet comments , I really do apreciate them and i am sorry that I still don't have the energy to leave comments on all of your blogs .... but I do read them and admire all your creations !!!!

Thanks for looking,

Sockssss...

Hiya girls ,

Here are the promised pics from the socks I made .... yes I know the pics are a bit blurry , but I am not a good photographer and i also don't like makeing pics !!

This first pair I made for my boyfriend ... first he didn't want to wear handknitted socks and now he doesn't want to take them out, lol ...so i netter make him some more ...

This are just a pair of basic ribbed socks , good to knit when you are watching TV :-)

And this are a pair of the famous Dutch " koffieboontjes" made for myself ofcourse , hehe ...... I really love those colors !!!! I have another 2 pairs on my nedles , but the batteries of the camera were empty ( like usual ), so I will show them next time :-)

Thanks for looking !!

hugs, Patti

Remember me ???

Hiya girls ,

yes I am back, it really has been a while !!!

First my PC crashed , I lost lots of pics and scans because i allways have intentions to make a vack-up, but I never do it :-) ,

Than i had some health issues... they are not solved but I am still alive , hehe

We moved into another house and we got so much problems with the internetprovider that we were allmost 2 months without webconnection !!!

But here i am again ....

This card I made a while ago , background is made with the Spin and Splash and Rangers alcoholink , the textstamp is from Stampers Anonymus, the swirl from Stampinback , and the Frida ... I have no idea !!

I also finished some socks , I will show them tomorrow ...

glad to be back online !!!!

Hiya girls ,

Scrappy weekend

Hiya girls ,

Even though my mojo isn't back yet I can show something ..... Recently I've read lots about finishing with all the leftovers and scraps that are around .

I decided to kick myself under my butt, go to my craftcave and finish with all scraps that were laying around on my table , specially the leftovers from the serendipity !!

The results are 4 cards , simple but nice , 2 ATC's , and 6 little giftlabels ... i still have to add a ribbon on them .... not bad for someone without any inspiration , i think.. lol

Thanks for looking !!!

hugs, Patti
