Leo!

Hiya!

So yesterday I wrote about my mom and her project. Today it is finally finished! It is called Leo de leeuw (leo the lion) and he looks really cute. Sadly our colour was a bit to dark so he looks like a lion who has been too much in the sun, but he still looks cute xD





I'll post some pictures of the projects i'm working on later.

Untill next time!

New Projects!

Hiya!

I have started with a few new projects :) Got a few ones running and just making them when I have the time. I'm starting with a giraf from easy crochet critters, a cat from super super cute crochet and a cute little dragon from amigurumi & more.

But these past few days I got to know a new shop online, named ' het spoeltje ' And I must say I really like this shop :) My mom is making this cute little lion but she ran out of yarn, so we went to our local hobby shop and found out they had none of it left, and that it wasn't made anymore. So there we were, without yarn and an almost complete lion. Pulling it apart felt like such a shame because of all the hard work(it was our first experience with the brazilia yarn so really hard work :') ). So we left the lion and we decided we would look for the yarn later. I had also bought a book in which they used Phildar Cotton, and we didn't found that one eiter in our local hobbyshop. So I decided to use Google in our quest in search of cotton. And here we had some problems. We found a shop which sold the cotton, but they asekd for 18 euros just to send it to Belgium. Quite stupid cause the shop was located in the Netherlands. So I just looked further, and I came across a site called het spoeltje. They didn't had the Phildar Cotton, but boy did they had our supposed lost yarn who wasn't made anymore! So we instantly bought 3 balls and some other balls of cotton. Het spoeltje is also located in the Netherlands, but they only asked 5 euros to send it to Belgium. And just after a mere 3 days we already received our package! But what was more nice was actually what was in our package, not the balls of cotton, but a small cart with their information on it. And written on the back was a small message from the owner who wished us good luck with our work! Now how kind is that? A great shop who can expect some more orders from me!

So expect some more pictures of my projects somewhere the end of the week when all my exams are done and I finally have some time again to start with crochet ^^

Untill next time!

Little Lion

Hiya!

So first of all, I'm not dead :') I just had a lot to do and have more to do the coming days since of my exams. Yippie >< So not much happened, not much crochet stuff or gaming. Trying to study but hate it already. Seems like everything is going in and out at the same time.

But I managed to make a small little lion from the book from Lion Brand Yarn :) It looks really cute and I went out and buy some wool just for this little guy ^^ I thought it would be better then the cotton I used and it seemed I was right ^^

If you have the time, he probably doesn't take very long to make, but like I said, I've been so busy that he was just laying around just waiting to be sewed together :p But finally, here he is!








I hope to find the time to start on the little giraf as well :) He looks very cute too ^^

Untill next time!

Kinect!

Hiya!

So this time instead of some crochet pics I have some gaming news ^^! And let me tell you, it is fuuuuuun gaming news! today I bought myself an Xbox Kinect! I was always thinking about buying one, but the price just seemed so high. It was still not cheap when I bought it today but I thought what the heck ^^. I've been working a whole month so I could have something that could be something fun in preperation of my new year at University ^^

So I got myself the xbox kinect with the kinect adventures and and :D Kinectimals xD
The kitty with the game has a little tag that when you scan it into your kinect camera it finds the plushie. All sorts of these tags can be found on the internet. And I really must say, altough it seems for childeren, it is very very cute game and well, if you like kitties or animals, take this one home with you!

So I'm gonna have some morefun with my kinect!

Untill next time!

Lot's of crochet!

Because it is so rainy here I did a lot of crochet ^^
I completed Moosje and made a 2nd hippo for someone :)
I even made a small kitty named Tanya Tiger :)
It was from Lion Brand Yarn and looked so cute, but sadly Lion Brand Yarn is not for sale in Belgium :(
So had to make it with some other wool but I think if i could have had the Lion Brand Yarn it would have looked better :)
