Winter is coming

Since it is getting a lot colder here in the netherlands, I started on my new pattern.
Skelly the Skeleton Snowman. Skelly is a little different than the other snowman. He has bones instead of sticks for arms. But that doesn't make him less cute!
He is available through instant download in my etsy shop

Almost halloween

DIY project: Bats (with FREE template)

It's almost Halloween!!! So I decided to make some decorations. As you all know I looooooove bats ;). Today was a rainy day so the perfect day for some crafting :).

This is what you need:

-black yarn
-black cardboard paper
-scissors
-pencil
-pomp-pon maker (I used the clover 65 mm but ofcourse you could also do without, as long as your finished pompon will be about 6,5 cm)
-Template bats (scroll down)
-a nice hot cup of coffee (the most important part of this DIY project I thing :) )

I am sure you all know how to use your pom-pon maker, but just in case (I had a difficult time myself figuring it out) here is some help;

After you pompon is finished, you will need a template, so here it is:

just click on the picture and print!

Now use these instructions:

Now it is time to insert your pom-pon:

Together these bats make a great mobile, or hang them in front of your window, in a tree or at your door.

With a little note attached to them, they make great invitations.

Hope you like it! Enjoy!!!

My first sewing pattern...

I have made my first sewing pattern. Just in time for Halloween!! I am so excited and a little bit scared, because sewing patterns are so different from my crochet patterns.
