a CHANGE of this blog

This blog did not turn out the way I was hoping, so I will not continue to update it in English - which was my plan. With time I will close it and just keep using my other blog for cards/crafts.

My time and health makes it impossible to do all the things I was planning, and keeping 2 blogs updated is too much.

Thanks to all of you

who has visited and even left some nice comments.

Jeg gjør om denne bloggen min, da jeg verken har tid eller helse til 2 blogger...med tid og stunder vil jeg slette denne - og kun beholde den andre bloggen min hvor jeg har kort og div..

Til de av dere som har spurt, og sendt meg mail eller er interessert i pulsvarmere - JA jeg selger. .

I neste uke vil jeg legge ut de som er ferdige og som er til salgs - Sånn foreløpig, vil jeg fortsette å bruke denne bloggen kun til dette.

last ones...

Last pair of wrist-warmers.

crochet work...

I made this LARGE white "table-cloth" with angels on...years ago.....

my plan was to color it (maybe blue??)...I did not really like it when it was finished, so I put it aside and forgot all about it....until today.

It is actually made for a round table - which I don´t have outside. :-)

long necklace

I made another long necklace. This one is with even larger beads and more "dull" (not as shiny), as the first one I made.

finally a necklace..

I made a long necklace with a big heart on. :-)

Used different sizes on the beads, and two different chains.

The colors are white and silver.

I really love the look and shine of these beads.

wrist-warmers

Finally some photos of the wrist-warmers I have knitted.

I have decorated two pairs with buttons, two pairs with crochet flowers....and the last two pairs are just kept plain.

I don´t have a pattern for these...as I have knitted so many - it´s all in my head. ;-)

knitted pants..

I actually startet these white pants last year...but was not able to finish it until now. It is a bit wide in the waist...so I will put some elastic on it.

..knitted pants..

This is the same as the one below...just a bit smaller and different colors.

knitting

Knitting is also one of my hobbies, that I really like.

Have not been able to knit for months (because of my arm) - so I´ll just show you a few photos of things I have knitted earlier. (If you have visited my other blog, you might have seen these before)Hopefully I can start knitting again sooon. I really miss it.

Babyblanket, jacket and socks, that I knitted for my grandchild.

6 pairs of socks I have knitted. Love this colorful yarn.

decoration for the wall..

This one is going to hang inside in my livingroom. Since I did not take the effort to finish my calendar, I have used the figures on this decoration.

some closeups..

my nutty tree..

This is how my tree of nuts turned out. As you can see I don´t like to decorate too much - I kind of like it "plain and simple". I have just used some gold wire with stars on, turned it around several times. I have also glued on some cones. Wondering if I should have a star on the top..??..

closeup;

a ball and a tree - easy made

Okey - this is how it turned out. Easy to make, and it looks nice...?.. ;-)

The "ball" is ready to hang in a window maybe...the "tree" I am not sure yet.....but I will decorate it a little bit.

mice out of nuts..

Voila....som mice made out of nuts.. ;-)

nutty mice - how to..

These nutty mice are easy to make, and does not need much explaining…you can actually see "how to"...from the pictures.
First I glue the 2 nuts together (hazelnuts)

(look at the photos to see the way I have glued them).
I like using a glue-gun on this…because it sticks instantly. Then I glue small tassels for the feet(2 or 4), 2 for ears and one for the tail.

..photo from the back...so you can see the little tail. :-)

nutty mice

Then you paint the eyes.

The dress is made of ribbon. I like the ribbon that has a thin wire on the edges (because then I can just pull the wire so the ribbons wrinkles nicely).

I cut a piece of the ribbon, approx. 10-12 cm (4-5 inch), put the two ends together and sew a seem. If the ribbon does not have wire, you just slip stitch along the upper edge….then pull the thread ends, so it makes nice wrinkles on the ribbon. Fasten it around the “neck” (between the two nuts).

nutty mice

I also made one out of larger nuts (walnuts)…glued on a hat and a tie, and wooden shoes (that I painted black). For arms I just used a pipecleaner.

..necklace..

Necklace with pendant.....lots of swarovski..(if you "click" on the image you can see it better)

As I probably have told you before...I love Swarovskis.. :-D

..published..

The "cake" has 3 rows of diapers, so it is quite large.

You can also exchange some of the diapers with clothes..and/or add toys or something to decorate.

* * *

My grandchilds name is Tuva.

The letters are grungeboard, painted with dabbers, and decorated with rubons.

* * *

I was asked to be "the guest artist", for the august issue, of the norwegian magazine Ett Trykk.

This is a diaper cake I made for my daughter (after she gave birth to my first grandchild, in june this year).

Photos of the "cake" was also published in the magazine.

If you want to see more cards that were published, ..take a look at my other blog.. ;-)

My blog with cards

..Tengel the troll..

..."photoshoot" with Tengel the Troll... *lol*

He is approx. 70 cm tall - so he is a large troll.

He is carrying a little troll in his backpack.
