Oh my it has been a while since my last post,
but fear not, I am not sitting still!
The reason is that I have started a few long-term projects, and I do not like to post half-finished products!
So what kind of projects?
The first is a new crochet figure.
As my mum has all different kinds of wool thread, usually I just pick a random type (this time it was a think grey white wool blend) and take it with me.
I started with a shape that could be a dogs head, but then I found the needle I used was too thin and the result was a very solid shape.I found the texture and color would be great for a turtle shell, so that's what I made!
(the Ikea pencil is a size reference ^^)
I really liked to follow my own view instead of copying from the book, and now that I finished the shell I am working on a small turtle shape that can be inserted into the shell, maybe I will even make different colored ones (if I have time).
The other project is for a present.
My little brothers birthday will come up soon (19th fo March), when I asked him what kind of present he would like he told me he needs a new poster, because he hates the empty walls in his room (and his girlfriend doesn't like the sexy-lady-posters he has now).
Of course I could buy a poster, but that is no fun..
As my brother really likes Pandas I have to add at least one panda-like shape to the poster, and after some brainstorming I finally got the most brilliant idea!
But naturally I can not post this until I handed him the gift, but trust me he will love it!
Has it been that long already?
