Last Year's Projects Revisited

Image
One day a couple of month ago I suddenly couldn't load up new pictures anymore. I thought maybe it would help if I removed some older posts with pictures from my blog, to make place for other pictures. It didn't help at all, but someone gave me the advise to use Google Chrome . That was the solution, but the removed posts were lost and I didn't make a back up. But I just saw that the pictures I placed on my blog once, are still there!  On the pictures below are the projects I made last year for X-mas. Glad I still have those pictures! Love, Peace, Joy Garland X-mas Cats Salt Dough X-mas Ornaments  The cats on the painting are my own cats. The black cat, my beloved Sjakie, died last february, but by placing the painting under the X-mas Tree, he's still with us a little bit.  www.betweennapsontheporch.net

My X-mas Tree

And after all the X-mas trees you probably already saw, this one is mine: As you could read before, I've been busy crocheting snowflakes and now you can see where they did go: there all in my tree! www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ This week my X-mas Reindeer is featured by Feather's Flights ! Thank you, Heather!

Postcard Embellishment

Image
This weekend I decorated the X-mas Tree and when searching through all accumulated X-mas decorations  from preceding years I found this cute little card.  I immediately loved this card with the cats, the glitters and the nice colours that someone sent me last year and wanted to keep it. My luck that just after I got it, I stumbled upon the blog of Dutch Sisters , who had this great idea  (with tutorial) to do with beautiful postcards: crochet a little edge around the card and hang it on your wall like a little painting.  Even better: it has exactly the colors I used for the living room decorations I made in the last weeks!   www.betweennapsontheporch.net

Another Sweater

Image
After knitting a sweater for my three year old, my five year old wanted a sweater too, of course (imagine mom has nothing to do for a moment!), so I started knitting again, with this as a result: I think this tunic like sweater looks a lot better than the other sweater, but fortunately three years old don’t criticize that much (yet) . I got this pattern from Sandra Kids Magazine.  www.betweennapsontheporch.net

Knitting again!

Image
It’s becoming really chilly around here (The Netherlands, that is), so I picked up an old favorite: knitting! I’m not the one for very large knitting projects, or any large project, so I stick with knitting for my little daughters. I knitted this sweater; with very thick yarn and 10 mm needles (size 15 in US). The turtle neck I made with something I never used, or ever saw before: a Quick Knit. It's like spool knitting with a very large spool. Very easy!   To break the petrol blue color block of the sweater a little I made a Elmer the Patchwork Elephant Pin. After making two paintings last week, I got the taste for it. With all his colors Elmer is such a nice creature to paint! www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ Kathie of The Krafty Kat featured my embroidered Matryoshka this week! Thanks, Kathie!

A Home is Built

Image
This week I made more decoration for our recently painted living room. I've made more than enough things-in-frames now, so this will be the last piece and I won't be bothering you anymore with stuff like this :-).  The inspiration for this embroidery I found at Feathers in the Nest , t he pattern for the little house I found at a blog called Arte del Ricamo . www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ And if you like crafting as much as vintage, like I do, you really have to check out the blog of Mrs.  Polly Rogers !! And I mean really! Very original and stylish!
