Can you keep a secret?

This is my newest craft... it will be my daughter's xmas present... hope she'll like it... It's sort of half finished...
The butterflies are from My Picot and they will be decorating a handbag...

Foto de familia / korknissegäng

Family photo av några av mina korknissar... those are not ready, some of them will get a little bell on the hood... the picture is from a couple days ago.. and not all of them are in the pic.
But these ones are finished now .. and have started to move to their new homes... some friends at work have got theirs today...
Ove suggested keeping them all because they're so cute and look so nice there... but I'm already making more... shall have a korknissegäng...
(These is really Manne's idea and I put the link to her page in my previous post)

hearts and more hearts...

My mom is very active, she meets almost every month for lunch or tea with lots of "girls", different groups. There's this of schoolmate girls, this other are former work colleage girls, then her nursing school class girls.. and so on.. sometimes with hubbies...


And every december she's hosting several lunches or teas at home. She usually gives out some little memento. I promised her I'll send her something this year...

So I made this crochet brooches, 85 of them and a bigger one for her... sent them by post.




I also made her a couple garlands, also red hearts... The basic heart in this link is the same, I made the finishing border in this backwards stitch for the brooches and just plain on the garland.. and I interconnected the garland a bit different, so the hearts can hang vertically too







and some candle rings, ljusmanschetter.

crochet heart

this is my newest heart for this xmas, my own design, and I'm still writting down the pattern instructions... must do, or it will be hard to do another one...
not sure if it'll hang from my tree or if I'll give it away...
