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 :)

The Hippo

Moosje (with my cat Tiggy ^^)

Tanya Tiger

Fruit ^^ With a crochet Banana :')

I also started with a new one but it's not far, so i'll post a bit more about it when I have made it a bit better and you can see an animal in it xD

Untill Next Time!

Hippo!

Hiya!

So I completed my Hippo (which was so fast I didn't even mentioned it in my blog xD)
It looked so cute when I started it, and it looks even more cute now that he is finished :D

Untill next Time!

Finished!

Hiya!

So today it was not a nice weather so I decided to try and complete some of my projects :)
I made my apple completed with the worm :D

It looked so nice I decided it rightful place was between my fruit ^^

But it looked kinda sad out there, all by itself as a amigurumi with the real fruit, so it needed a friend ^^ So i tried to make the little pear as well ^^

And after all this work it was put there where it needed to be, right next to the apple :D

Have been working on Moosje as well :) but she isn't completed yet, still needs her ears and tail :p

But she can join the party between the cats already ^^

That was all for this rainy sunday ^^

Untill next time!

Background

Oh btw!

As you may notice, I have changed my background :) The 2 kitties you see are my 2 precious cats :D
Mollie is the black one and Tiggy is the striped one you see.
I am still trying to get the colours on my blog right, cause I don't want to get it to depressed in colours ^^
Hope I can get it good soon!

Untill next time!

Moosje & Apple

Hiya!

So Moosje is looking more and more like an animal already :) her head and body are now finished, as well as her front legs and 1 back leg.

I hope to finish this little critter soon :) The original pattern and picture are made in grey or black, but since I found it hard to start with black I decided on some orange :) I hope it will look cute on her when she is completed :)

I also started with a new one (yes already ^^). One I think will look so great when it is completed :) It is an apple with a little worm in it! I have partially completed the apple's body :) but need to make his face before I can continue :) There is also a leaf I finished, but forgot it on the picture :p

Also received my manga Chi's sweet home V6 as mentioned in my previous post. And also got a book called Secretariat. It is a true story about America's fastest race horse! There is a movie about it as well if you are interested :)

Sadly the book of secreatariat is a bit damaged as you can see but it is also a very thick book and I think my mailman had to squeeze it trough ^^ But it's not that bad :) Risk of mail orders I suppose :)

Untill next time!

Finished 2 projects and starting new one!

Hiya!

I'm happy to announce that I have finishes my 2 ongoing projects! My Whale and Octopus!
I finally got over the tail problems I had with the whale and was able to finish it. Later today My mom sewed on the octopus his feet and we are done :D

I have started a new project as well Yesterday, called Moosje by a pattern of Christel Krukkert :) Almost done with it's body and head :)

I also received my 6th volume of Chi's Sweet Home :) I'll post a picture of it later, it looks really great and can't wait to start reading it! But first I hope to finish my crochet Cat :D

Untill next time!

Tail problems

So today I finished reading my first book, Life of Pi. After this was finished I decided I was going to crochet some more :) Great going, untill I got stuck. I am making a whale from a pattern from Brigitte Read, but in my mother tongue, Dutch. But I already found some translate errors in the pattern of the tail, where some numbers of row where changed to a lower number, this making it a bit hard to make it good ^^ But now I'm stuck at the tail >< Quite sucks

Luckily I can call in my Mom 911 line tomorrow ^^ She'll hopefully find the problem for me and make my tail look better then it is now :p

Till next Time!

Books, manga's and some more books!

Hiya!

Today I'll be talking about some new books I got in the mail today :) I love cats, and some story's about them I love even more :) Especially of the fact that you can place yourself in the story's. So expect some cute crochet work when I'm a bit more experienced with crochet ^^

All the books I ordered from the Bookdepository. I highly recommend this site because they have very low prices on their books, and the best of all they deliver free! It's so great :) You can also find some books for crochet and they are cheap :D (I ordered one myself for only € 2,80 :D but it hasn't arrived yet.

This are some of the disadventages of the bookdepository. They deliver via mail and if the postordercompany works slow well it takes some time before they arrive :)

Buckley's story is about loving a cat and letting go :) Haven't read it yet but it sounds very pretty! Then a manga from World of Warcraft. Next we have Call of the wild & Wild fang, some classic books in english literature. started with call of the wild. and the last one in the picture is Life of Pi. A story about a boy who is the victim of a shipwreck and needs to survive with a zebra, a tiger and an other animal. The tiger eats all the animals except Pi. An amazing story but haven't finished it yet.

Next is a series of manga's I just started :) They are soooo cute and if you like cats, don't hesitate to buy this one! A small kitten gets lost from her family and is found by a child. A great story with very cat-a-like behaviour! Soo cute and it's in colour :)

The last one is a very very beautiful book about loving without seeing. A book of a blind cat who takes on everything what live throws at him :) I have finished this one, and I'd strongly advice you buy this one! It has some great life lessons!

Now I only have to find some time to read these books and finish my crochet work ^^

Untill next time!

My first projects!

So I started with crochet :) I find it a bit hard from time to time, but luckly I have my mom who is there to help me :) As you can find on my ravelry I have 2 projects going on at the moment. A whale and an Octopus. They are almost complete but I'm still strugling a bit with the tail from the whale and the legs from the Octopus.

After they are complete I'd like to start with the thing that facinates me the most and that are cats :) I already have some nice patterns that don't seem really hard to do :) and I hope I can complete one of this without too many problems :) But first I'd like to complete one of my ongoing projects :) That would be soooo nice ^^

Untill next time!
