Mini Memory Quilt in Red

After finishing the memory quilt in red I promised my daughter to make a mini memory quilt for her doll.

This weekend I had some time so I started cutting the squares and prepared the blocks. It is a postage stamp quilt where the squares are 5 cm by 5 cm (~2" by 2") and it was hard to work with them, especially with the crazy ones.

Here are the 2 by 2 blocks with the crazy squares:

All blocks are ready, I just need to sew them together and finish the quilt...

Three Owls Crochet Necklace

I found a few owl and flower buttons so I created two more corchet button necklaces. It is a really easy and fun project that can be done with kids.

The button holes are relatively small and my thread is thick, so I used the nail polish method to thread the buttons. It is important to check the orientation of the owls because if one of them is threaded upside down, it is going to be upside down on the finished necklace too.

I made two pink and purple necklaces, aren't they sweet... I hope you like them too.

Build a Snowman Kit

Last week we got a few inches of snow so we went out to build a snowman. After we finished it, I wanted to build a small one as well but had no accessories for it. So went inside and put together a kit that includes everything you need to build a snowman, except for the snow.

There is a hat, eyes, nose, mouth, buttons from felt and a crocheted scarf.

First I sew together the felt hat and decorated it with a nice ribbon.

The nose is made of a small piece of orange felt and will be attached to the face with a pin. The eyes and buttons are also cut out from felt and attached with a small pin with decorative pinhead.

I crocheted a small scarf with matching colour.

And here is the whole kit in action. The whole snowman is about 15cm (~6").

This small snowman looked so nice that I decided to create some more kits with different types of scarff.

Here is the whole group of snowmen. Stay tuned for the next post for a photo op for my snowmen...

Cheers,
