YES more butterflies

Make this beautiful butterfly in about 5 minutes from any small scrap of old wrapping paper newspaper or a colorfull magasine. This project is perfect if you are making your own greetings cards or just want to decorate your room with something pretty. 

Make it out of brown paper to make a moth and tie it off with parcel string. Or of course you could design and colour in your own using plain paper and felt tipped pens.

When you've finished making the wings and spread them out, you can customise your butterfly as much as you want. You could wrap a small piece of pipe cleaner round the middle on the body to make a head, abdomen and thorax of the butterfly, or blob glue gun glue on the body and color it with marker, of stick beads or sequins on to give the appearance of those beautifully iridescent butterfly scales.

Nephew Anders

I was in jutland to visit Christian family and his sister just had this little guy Anders. Absolutly inlove whit this little thing i start making things for him like this little sweater and hood, what i didnt take into considderration was that he grows fast...and i meen VERY fast , so the picture you see here is the only time he ever had it on.

crafted box for my crochet hooks

I got this idea from picasa i saw a tutorial where a woman had used a feta cheese plastic container with a lid. I tried to find the tutorial but its gone. I used a icecream container because i wanted it to be used for my crochet hooks.

I used two lids, one as the top lid and one cut out to form the bottom inside.

I made rings with a marker on the bottom off the "can" to find out how to crochet it.

like this and used it as a template...did the same for the inde of the top lid

 

i didnt crochet inside exept for the top, i covered the inside with some fabric and i glued som fabric on the ekstra lic that i cut out to fit the bottom. 

 

this is how it looks inside

 

 

 

on the outside top i put some stuffing under the fabric to use for needles and such. and the i decorated it abit :)

Tiny Teddy
I was browsing through the Good Housekeeping site and came across a pattern for a tiny 19 cm high teddy. V. cute and really easy.

1. Enlarge the below pattern by 400% on a photocopier.

2. Cut out two teddy-shapes from fabric. Pin and stitch together around stitching line, leaving a gap in side of one leg for turning through. Work a second row of stitching so they don't fall apart too quickly.

3. Trim the seam allowances to 3mm and cut out a triangle up to the stitching at all the corners. Turn right side out. Fill with polyester toy stuffing and sew up the gap in the leg. Using black thread, work a few straight stitches for eyes and nose where marked. Tie a narrow ribbon around its neck and stitch securely in place.

Wonder what teddy would look like in Thai silk or in Shanghai Tang-style fabric.

The Unseen University

Christian and i thought we would make a landscape like D&D or warhammer but im no good at those tiny figurines i like papercraft better and i made these buildings named the unseen university. Still missing a few buildings.

I printed them out from a pdf file where its all in A4 format.
the file is 46 Mb so very large but its really cool
