Flamingo Piñata

Flamingos.... I've almost reached the point I don't want to see them anymore for a long, long time, after all the birthday related stuff that had to be either pink of flamingo, but preferably both. Last year I felt th same about bunnies.

This is the last flamingo for this birthday, but it's a great one! May I proudly present my Flamingo Piñata to you?

Because my daughters are sort of friends apart from their many fights, when one sister celebrates her birthday party for her school friends, the other sister is invited, too. And because that sister is a real invitee to the party, she brings a little gift.

The birthday girl lost one of her earrings a while ago, so thinking about what to give, didn't take long. And this week I saw such an adorable way to 'wrap' a little packet, so the tiny earring box came in handy even more!


This animal is from Schleich and they have lots of animals to choose from!

    This is so cute! We always had pinatas as kids growing up in Texas, but some of my friends from Minnesota have never had one! Thanks for sharing on the Small Victories Sunday Linkup!

    Gotta love that bright flamingo pink! So fun! Have you seen the giant human sized flamingo at Hobby Lobby? Not a good party decoration since this one is meant to stay, but its the first thing I thought of when I saw this posting. Happy Birthday to your little girl. :)

    Liz, what a fabulous flamingo. Great job. I also like your zebra carrying the birthday package. How sweet this all is. I saw your link at Stacey's Creative Inspirations link party.

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

Image
  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo

Christmas Scrunchies (free pattern)

 Of all the things I made this year, Crocheted Scrunchie s were the biggest hit. My daughter wears them all the time, in her hair and/or on her arm, so I thought Christmas Scrunchies would be nice, too.  I'm happy to say my duaghter thinks this Christmas variety 'is just as great as the regular, no mom, even better'!  My daughter is thirteen now, so I'm wondering if it will last very much longer, that enthusiasm over mom made things, but I hope it does, because I really enjoy making things for my daughters.   How I made them: Round 1: 40 dc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Change color Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Change color Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Change c

Crocheted Scrunchies

Image
My daughter asked me to crochet some scrunchies for her. Not that much work, I thought, so one evening, after she went to bed, I started crocheting. Turned out next morning that the scrunchies that I made weren't exactly the ones she had in mind. She meant scrunchies like the fabric ones: a tunnel with a piece of elastic in it. Luckily she liked mine much better, so I got away well. Not sure if they will be in use as hair bands or bracelets, though. Teenagers think in mysterious ways, aren't they? How I made them: Round 1: 40 sc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Round 4: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in every dc of
